Looks like I need the battery positioners, too. Does anyone NOT use those on their RR?


I seem to be collecting 12th scale cars now.

The difference between the short and long CRC dampener tubes are the pistons. The aluminum portion of the tubes is the same. With the short tubes you get a shorter piston. Just get the long CRC tubes and cut the piston down if needed.
