When I saw the design I thought to myself, damn did they design this and forget about crystal placement untill the last moment? I really limits how much you can lower some bodies and even cuts out the possibility of using some autoscales without modification... the best alternative I have seen is mounting the crystal sideways. Just a little hacking at the chassis and some soddering and you are set for a much lower crystal.
