I also just put some GP3700 cells in my car. They are not even built, I just set the cell in the battery tray. The battery's will not fit between the two battery post's.
Has any one ran these cells in thier car? I also have some IB3800, that also dont fit in the car. Any help on how to get these batterys in my car would be great.

This has been a problem for all of the cars on the market.
There is a new Teemu chassis that is cut to accept the bigger cell. There is also a new tray and strap for the kit chassis.

3800s fit Yokomo BD and Yokomo LCG with no problems, maybe you should look at getting one of these cars

There's a new tray for the newer bigger cells that have come out. The MI2 is well over a year old and none of these cells were around at that time............

Yeah its been out for awhile compared to other companies, but theirs another Schumacher on the horizon, better get your wallet ready.

is schumacher going to come out with a one way pully for the new car, not a dif? i like my one way on the shaft, and the dif action in the front.
did i read that the arms on the new car are differant?

Can anyone tell me why is my car pulling to the right when I squeez the trigger? I tried everything from checking the castors , links, arms, basically everything and it still keeps doing it... I locked the front diff too just to let you guys know. Thanks in advance

Chico- I know what you're talking about with the pivot blocks. Yo just need to tighten each screw a little at a time. Get them all snugged up and go through and tighten each one a little bit more. I would also like to see a one piece design for our pivot blocks. Who knows, that maybe something coming. Also on the batteries not fitting, all the larger capacity cells are a little bit bigger now. And even with the larger cutouts in the new Teemu chassis and the new BMI chassis, I still needed to remove a little material from the battery post. You really don't need to take out much. Just use a round sanding drum on a dremel tool and that should make plenty of room for them.
hyena- When the new car comes out they will have both a diff and oneway option. If I'm not mistaken, the regular Mi2 diff and oneway will work, you'll just need to get the new pulley for it.
Roberto- First thing I'd check is to see if you have a blown out bearing in the right rear. That'll make the right wheel drag and let the left wheel go faster and yank the car to the right.

hyena, can't be sure, but i don't think there is enough space on the layshaft for a one-way pully. Think it is being made as one pully for both belts, rather than 2 seperate ones.
