Awesome looking project so far! I'm really interested to see how it turns out.

Will you be running this on astro or dirt?

I've found that on dirt wheelspin / forward traction is the main challenge to overcome. I can't wait to see how your design runs - we certainly could use more FF buggies running to test and refine designs.

I modded a FF-03 into a buggy and it had a battery layout similar to yours but on the dirt where I run the car really struggled for forward traction.

I just haven't gotten round to it but I've gotten all the parts needed to install a gear diff in my original FF (dubbed YKP locally)... plan is to put really hard oil in there to reduce the loss of any power especially on rutted areas of a dirt track.

Good luck, I'll be following this thread with interest!
