I am in the very early stages of building a rock crawler. Still acquiring some parts, It will be powered by 2 6-cell packs, with 2 Tekin ESCs, and 2 motors. I have purchase a sheet of 3.1 mm thick sheet of aluminum to cut for my own design chassis.

I am just wondering if it would be better to place the batteries in front, or center. It would be great if I can get ideas on the layout of the electronics (battery, ESC, Motors, RX). It will have a center diff, where the two motor will mesh on one spur. (Similar layout to an XTM X-faxtor. Actually considering just converting my X-factor to electric)


Thanks,
