Can anyone of you post couple pics of your cars using tape to secure batts ?, even when i tested a lot during the weekend the 3racing velcro strap, its kinda bulky and i think more weight than tape ...
thanks,
Pat

Good run Korey and I hope those pm's keep you busy over the next few weeks.

None of the 5000's fit without some work. With the Thunderpower 5000mAh I still had to take some material off (it's the thinnest 40C at 23.5mm, which is why I went for it). The SMC 5200 40C and the Reedy 5000 35C are 24.5mm.
The SMC 4700 40C (with inboard connectors) is 25mm.
Having said that, I don't know if you need 40C packs, unless you're racing mod. In 13.5 or 17.5, there isn't very much difference between the 24C, 28C or the 40C. Jeff Cuffs TQ'd and won 17.5 Rubber at the Snowbirds this year with the SMC 24C 5200's, even though he could have ran 28C or 40C packs.

SMC 3200 40C is the only one that fits without mods (20.5mm high)

Does anyone know if the TC Bottom deck (Chassis) will fit the WCE without any mods needed?

Are you using the Cyclone TC? I had this problem to and i solved it by using the WCE links on the front sway bar.

hey, i got a cyclone moorespeed and for the life of me i cant keep my battery still, it either likes to slide out from under the velcro strap and grind against the pinion or come out of the car completely.
i use those stupid packs that dont have the the little feet on the bottom, so it just slides around, anyone got a way to stop the damn thing from moving about?
