I used good old associated battery cups from the original rc10. $5 for the pair and I just drilled and countersunk screws in the bottom. the front one is actually trimmed a hair and fits under the RCM receiver tray.

We did a demo for the Scouts today. It was a blast doing stuff for 150 kids (my ears are still ringing hehe). Zero issues and we made a jump out of a sheet of plywood and I was the only person willing to take it when it was a 45 degree angle hehe. The Scout leader loved the kids response to the big air and mentioned they liked the crashes the best. I barrel rolled the buggy and the roof hit a steel pole. Body crushed in about 3 inches but it popped back out. I also tried to barrel roll off the bench jump but hit the bench once and pushed it back about 6 inches, no problem... I am surprised nothing broke but you know how it goes when you have a crowd cheering you on.... anyone there was amazed at how tough this buggy is.. the batteries didn't move, motor stayed tight, no bent or broken shock shafts (ala B44 which mine now has XXX4 front shafts ;) )
