Another thing to look at is the battery mounting.. it looks as if scallops are cut out of the "top deck" in just the right spots for soldering bars to stick through for hardwiring. I doubt the car will load the battery grasshopper style, because if you look down into the battery tray, you can see the steering servo wire stretched across the bottom just like on a 2wd bugggy (B4/XXX). That would make it pretty awkward to pop the bottom off and then have to loop the battery underneath a servo wire, but I could be wrong. What I'm curious about are the 2 "buttons" on each side of the chassis towards the front. Maybe the front of the car pivots up and out of the way like a large cargo plane in order to slide the battery into place.
