Man, that's a brick!!!!! You can mount it that way using a plastic battery tray to keep it from sliding or just make sure it's snug.

Reminded me of this:

Well, you guys warned me. :oops: I have not put a flat spot on my Neu's shaft...yet. I have been bashing for months with a tight grub screw and loctite until today. One minute into a bash with an extra 3.7 volts and I lost the pinion. Luckly no damage to the spur.

I talked my wife into giving the Dremel (one of my Christmas presents) early. I'll be grinding.:yes:

How did you survive rc without a dremel?

Here is Mike's custom battery tray. I thought with the way I drive my battery needed a little more protection:

Looks nice man. Hows your CG with that big battery back there?

Not bad. It is right at the spur, which puts it just slightly behind the center of the truck. A wheelie bar is going to be needed.:yes:

Latest upgrade -- Strobe Braces and Knuckle Heads
 

My latest upgrades Strobe Braces and UE Knuckle Head shock towers. :intello: I had to change out the FLM shock towers to the UE because the UE were 3 mm thinner. It was either that or shave the Strobe brace like suicideneil did. I also had to shave the top of my FLM hybrid bulk because the UE tower has an oblique bottom instead of a square one like the FLM.

Clearence issues:

That looks alright, no butchery visable unlike my setup (I plan to keep my truck till Im grey and old, its my pension plan so I figure the rarity value will outway the modifications hopefully :intello:).

Do like the way knuckleheads look compared to the FLMs too :yes:

Those Strobe braces look great on there!:yes: Im glad they they found a good home!:smile:

Thanks Jack. You have helped to complete my build.......I think :happy:

Completed build it think NOT ! :lol: You previously mentioned you may goto 8 Super Shocks. If you want another 4 to complete the set and a new unopened spring set and 3 kyosho boots, maybe we can work out a deal and get some to the Golden goose. If not, perhaps Jerry or Lito has a home for them ? Mark gets 1st declination, but im not going to use them. I have finally gotten my 8 Losi 8T rear shocks working perfect on my Gmaxx and wont be needing these.
