The tray I got from mike included a spacer the size of the tray. I screwed the spacer to the chassis, and the tray to the spacer. The spacer's height along with the Battery tray's height comes out to be about 10mm, with the spacer taking up most of that (about 6mm). You may be ble to think of another way to mount the tray, but the spacer helps to clear the mud guards/folds on the side of the chassis.
Hope this helps.

yes, that helps alot, coudl you possibly post a pic or 2 showing the tray unmounted and the spacer mounted? (i assume you cut out things like holes for the side guard screw bits etc.

10mm is alot, so being conservative 15mm with strap>?

just paid for the zippy lipo - with a coupon it was pretty cheap :) ($5 off)
thanks,

ALSO.
"New 1 piece designs allow 1.25" clearance to mud guard and has no spacer - this design fits most vehicles and lowers battery in the vehicle by .15" vs. the "spacer" installation. Please verify 1.25" clearance from center spur gear to mud guard prior to ordering."

what exactly does this mean?
does it mean this, or something else? the 1.25 is very close, about 1mm less than the thinnest area which is ok, but needs verification!
this should help lower the battery and make it easier to fit :)







thank-you and goodnight!
