Gregg, if it makes you feel any better, I'm having your kind of luck, but with my race car instead of the RC car. I just realized that I screwed the pooch on my battery box. The custom face panel I had made it awesome. They made it exactly how I wanted it. Problem is that I must not have measured correctly. I didn't take into account the flanges on the flange mounted connectors. The flanges on the connectors hit the cutout in the battery box. Problem is, if I make the cutout big enough, then there is no material for the mounting screws on the panel. So that's at least an $80 face panel down the drain, and maybe an $80 battery box down the drain. Not to mention the time I'm going to lose waiting for another face panel to be machined (that I have yet to design), and I can't completely finish up the wiring job without the battery box. Ugh...the race is in 3 weeks, and I'm really pushing it.

Well, off to fix the design on my panel...

Good news is that I finished rebuilding my kiddo's MERV and got everything aligned last night. I went ahead and aligned the RC8Be as well. Planning to finally hit the track this upcoming week with it.
