I tape my batt so the whole batt brace thing is not an issue.
Guess the last question would be,
How much lighter is the car after the conversion? Thanks
I have the version 1 graphite (silver look) chassis. As said, it makes a very good indoor car as the chassis is very thick (I've not measured it, but i'd say 3mm+ thick) Car is good with foams too, but you will need a 1 or 2mm hex spacer on the wheel mount to clear the front wheels that catch on the upper balljoint.
I got my car to 1580gr with IB4200, futaba 9550 and a brushed motor setup, but with a smaller ESC and reciever you could get it closer to 1500gr, I was also using rather thick battery bars and alloy shocks
Here's a picture of the chassis, it comes pre assembled but you will need to fit the drivetrain etc to it from the ta05.
