Nothing a sandblaster can't handle to strip the paint completely and then hopefully a etched primer will help the paint stick a little better.

I am thinking of cutting off completely the old engine mount support to make a new mount for the battery tray. I mocked up the battery tray last night on the side where the old nitro motor used to be and I am not to found of the battery being up at an angle if using the existing old motor mount support...if something were to happen, the batt. would slide into the spur gear so....I am rethinking the mounting design for that side. Also, I am going to make a bracket for the rx that sits above the steering servo similar to Mike's design on his crt.5 kit.
