This leaves you with a ball diff, which a lot of people prefer anyway!
You can think about the gear diff as a further upgrade.
Follow the link in my signature to my facebook page and scroll down far enough and you will find a picture of how I have configured the car. I used the battery posts from the Mad Monkey/Lupuz to locate and hold down the battery.
EDIT: Just remembered, you would need the Evo motor plate too.

Thanks Clive
I like your idea so thought I'd tot it all up for the parts I want. Prices from inside line and rounded up/down to nearest quid.
chassis - £15
body - £19
motor plate - £10
gear case - £5
So that's 50 quid and I don't get a gear diff, which I like, or the gearbox support or cell brace. Hmmm. I see your way of thinking, but I like a gear diff and the newer shell. This is before I buy one of your. no doubt quality, pieces of machining.
On the face of it, your idea seemed better than mine, but once I'd done the maths according to what I want, it switched, sorry.
