I'm getting a little closer now, I put ball races in the steering and fitted the servo.
I re-formatted my 12cell pack, I made up a battery tray from alloy angle section lined it with foam and cut some carbon tube chassis stand-offs, but I'm waiting for longer bolts to fit it.
Just an order from RCMonster and it will be runable.

I made a battery tray from 1.5mm 6061 alloy angle covered in 2mm neoprene foam, held up over the mudguards on standoffs between the chassis and tray cut from 6mm carbon tube, also pulled an 8XL from one of my boats to see what it looks like in position.



The battery tray is made for a 12 cell stick pack, with 8 cells on the bottom and 4 on top, I fitted my servo and RX too, so really am just waiting for my mount from Mike now.



With everything but the body, spur, pinion, motor mount, clamp heatsink, Mamba Max and Ubec.


Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Pro carbon, Mega 22/30/2, MMM, 4s3-5Ah.
Tamiya F201 carbon, Mamba 7700, MM, 2s A123 2.3ah.
Xray XT8, 1518, MMM, 4s5Ah.
Lots of boats.
