Only minor mods to make it fit, cut down the Tbar ball cups just slightly, and raised the shock mount and ball stud just a little, battery stand offs are some Traxxas body posts cut down, bolted to the existing holes in the chassis...
How did you get it to clear the body? I made a set of stand offs last night and there is no way the bullet plugs for the wires will clear. I guess I could heat the body and make a couple of bubbles, but they're going to need to be pretty big.
