Default lipo in place

Yes, the yeah racing lipo have slots in the bottom to simulate the nimh cell battery packs. I cannot use the included battery holder for the nimh cell because the lipo battery case won't fit and won't clear the top deck. If I will not use the battery holder the lipo is sliding all over the chassis.. so I make something to keep the lipo from moving, specially during crashes.. next item will be the battery post and brace..

I'm also planning to install a protection for the motor, same one they have on the tamiya TA05.. I'm afraid a hit on the side on the chassis will damage the motor, specially the sensor wires..

By the way, the rear hub mod using grab screws, to even out the rear toe in, did not work for me. It resulted in vertical slop.. .. I'll just get the aluminum rear hubs instead...
