This way the overall car balance is not changed as I changed batteries.

I use the L shape pieces to help support the battery from moving outboard. One of the larger trapezoidal pieces supports the battery from moving inboard.

For batteries with the molded cell tubes underneath, what I have done is insert the pack upsidedown. Then very carefully drilled through the battery case so I can insert the bullet connectors. I also ID the positive terminal with a dab of red paint. Works like a charm, allows the battery to seat nice and flat low on the chassis.

Thanks, but weight is not the issue (yet). I need to get the battery physically taped/strapped in the car first. Can't do because of where the corally tubes are. The Xray weights and Bitty Design tray move the battery outwards to clear the top deck.

Hadn't considered the drilling bit even a possibility

Currently my rear shocks (008) feel like the are not smooth.

I've tried changing the oil and the bottom O-ring on the shaft. HOwever it still does not feel smooth..

Am I missing something?

Did you bleed them? Air bubbles in the oil will make them feel "rough".

I let them sit for a while then bleed them out of the top. I tried adding Green slime to the o-ring, and this made one of them feel smooth..

Maybe I'll just let the other one sit for an hour or so to make sure the bubbles are out..

check that your shafts dont have a slight bend. even a slight bend will make the shock feel "grabby"
