Good to see Fred is still doing well over at Tamiya USA.

Although, I remember him from way back when he still had a full head of hair.

seems like a 143x48.3x26.5mm battery fits. If you use banana plug style connectors, the terminals need to be pretty far apart.

more info on the types of batteries that fit:

anyone know where I can find Ti/Al screws for the 3 overly long ones used to secure the gear box? I have everything else except those 3.

Lunsford has them, but it is way too expensive and they want $7 for shipping

The car was a fun build.

Look forward to shaking it down tomorrow.

Out of the gate I updated to the aluminum suspension blocks and spool. The rear gear box will be interesting.

The car is super free out of the box. No trick bearing required. I did put it on a diet bu using Ti screws. Front suspension upright.
