Just finished my kit. A couple things right away I don't like. The battery brace for saddle pack config. It takes up so much room. Why cant they include a streight brace instead of flipping it around backwards? And the esc shelf needs to be used for the battery brace. Really would be nice if that wasnt covering the esc. Cant use the gear cover with a big pinion in stock config wtf? And parts tree's. So much clean up to do after breaking off each part.
I hope the buggy drives like magic and then I wont care so much about the little things.

As whitrzac has mentioned you can run 33 and 34 tooth pinion's. Take a silver sharpie and color the gear cover where the pinion is. Install the gear cover with the 34 tooth pinion installed and give it a little bit of throttle. Remove the gear cover and see where it rubbed and then grind that spot down. Repeat the process until no more noise. It shouldn't take you longer than 5 minutes to complete the process.
I know you are thinking that you shouldn't have to do that and I agree but it is a simple fix.
As for the battery mount, I am not sure if you actually need one. Take a look at Andy's car as it looks like he isn't running one.

I have thought about just servo taping my battery to the chassis. I only need one battery anyway. I would then remove all the battery stops. I just need to run the car first and figure out if I like saddle, shorty and in which position.

You are right. Its not hard its just I feel like I shouldnt have too. Although every RC car I have purchased requires some kind of customizing.

Just get some long pieces of velcro that way you can move the battery around without having to re tape it. And then just use the battery strap and no battery stays till you figure out right where you want the battery then add the stops.

Fitting saddles ....
Reverse the batter trays from what the instructions tell you so that the body clip posts are at the rear.
This turns the strap through 180 degrees and the big square cut out in the stock battery strap clears even the largest ESC!
Not sure why they put it the other way around in the manual
