Oh Horay!!!

I've been waiting for someone to come out with a better battery setup than the stock one..... but I wonder why they didn't make one for 6-cell straight packs?

Wish the batteries were closer to center. with or without the slotted chassis. Just need them tight. I was looking at doing something like this within the next 3 months but somebody beat me to it :P Looks cool and better than stick packs any day!


Anyone else rip the front running gear out and run it 2wd?

I hope they make the upper deck a little more air intake friendly... it would be nice to cool it :P

?? I did that. Looked in the catalog....there are no photos in the catalog. It mentions a "F201SCF" chassis, which comes in stick and slot setup, but I can't find any pics of it. Then I looked in the photos section. The only chassis shown there is the 3x3 chassis.

I'm thinking that the F201SCF chassis might be what I'm talking about, but since there are no photos of it I'm not completely sure.

If the F201SCF is what I'm after I might just have to order one!!

Marty, put some small slots in for velcro straps if you can, or even an x-ray style battery bar. Something to get away from the tape.

I wonder how whicked this car would be as a 4-cell 19t or 4-cell MOd car?
It would be drastically lighter than a 6-cell car and with a mod motor-geared up-wow!!!
