Shaun,
A few pages late but here is another take on the center-line pack mounting. I have seen a nearly exact same setup from someone else on here as well. Pretty simple, just some Dremel work, a set of the Associated battery cups (ASC6334) and 4 new countersunk holes in the center chassis.
You have mentioned the MMP before so here are some pics to show that it fits. I also had to include a pic of this seasons body before it gets destroyed! Just as SCTDan mentioned you have to remove the center brace and some from the side for the speed controller. You will need to notch the cups as well for the MMP. Personally I really like the mod and it saves the expense of buying the saddle packs
Only difficult thing is that one of the two battery posts will end up directly under the belt housing so it takes a bit of work to unplug.
If you look closely you will notice the sensor wire running through the center to rear chassis mount ... there is a hole there that once opened up a bit provides a great path for the wire keeping it locked in place, out of harms way and nicely dressed. And yes, those are street tires. The only local track is pavement so my playing in the dirt is limited to my back yard track. Speaking of dirt, anyone have some good suggestions for tracks in the Phoenix area? I ran a few Cactus Classics back in the day but do not know of any other tracks down there.

Not too late at all! I love that setup. How freaking easy. Have you noticed any bracing needed because you cut out those screws into the chassis? I'm sure cutting the bracing on the side won't matter a bit, but I don't see you bracing the chassis after removing some of the bracing itself.
Thank you very much for showing that. I can use a culmination of both of yours and suite my needs perfectly. Thanks alot Jason!
Edit: Btw, Great looking Truck. And can't go wrong with an AE paintjob!

But with the brace I have had no problems. I run my braking at 100% which guarantees tons of high-speed braking belt skip unless a brace is added. I have zero skip with this setup thanks to the chassis brace. I have noticed no extra chassis flex in the highly scientific double handed twist and bend testing that I have done at my desk as well. In all seriousness, I really have not noticed any bad side effects. I have lawn darted it many times as well as had some pretty bad curb checks (bent the inner hinge pins) and all checks out fine, well aside from the pins.As for the AE paint, thanks! Figured I would split their look with the original Rough Riders paint jobs for the lines and it turned out pretty well.

JConcepts has a pair of Barcodes mounted on some wheels, and I was wondering if I could use these on the sc10 4x4. The part # is 3044-3220. All it says is black wheels. It doesn't say if it could be use with 12mm hex. Also are those wheels the Rulux? They look like they are.

Does the RTR comes with its tires glued already to the rim? I figured it would since its RTR. But, just want to make sure, so I could prevent myself from buying a set of unnecessary wheels. I already have a 4x4, but I want to get another one. And I would like to get the RTR.
