Trust me!".
Also, I know people think that the 45 I paid for that lipo tray was too much, but isnt that guy thats making the steel plates selling those for 35? An OEM machined tray with an engraved logo isnt worth 10 dollars more than an aftermarket steel plate?
I agree with your 35/45 statment esp since that one isn't routed to fit a 4800.
I have an OCD steel plate for my offroad cars, if I cut a bit off the end and taped it to the 4800 it would fit on top, you might need to use foam on the top deck that isn't as tall, but this is what I am going to try.
