i will need to look into that.i want to include as many high performance things that i can that will actually improve the cars performance.this may be an area where i need to sacrifice to keep the cost down.to bevel the battery slots like i have done on all my kits in the past will require an extra operation with machining.if i have room i will do it but with all of the expensive upgrades i am putting in the kit it may be tough to include that.i will try though

the servo mounts will be sold seperately and will fit any car.i will post some pics of them this week.
i will see what i can do about the cell slots.if worst comes to worst i will make them wider so it will only require a small edge break to seat the cells properly.

Maybe a more expensive car option with a beveled chassis or an aftermarket upgrade chassis? Personally I'd still prefer the more narrow slots because the beveled edge will be bigger. I find with chassis where I only have to just knock off the edge I still have problems with the chassis cutting the cell heat shrink.

Jason,
Will there be anything in the kit to hold the batteries in different positions (forward or back) in the battery slots?
Thanks,

can the underside be machined so that the cell tape is recessed into the chassis just like your previous 12th car's?
were am I on the pre-order list, hope it's near the top
UK 12th nationals kick of in September

Jason.....I think there was some talk in the past about moving the motor side pod plate out closer to the diff so the car will balance better with a Brushless motor. Is this something you have done on the kits or something that you dont feel is needed? The car looks great.....
