I needed the tray to set lower in the chassis to fit the polyquest 4s 6000 mah battery in without the body sticking up. Everything worked fine except I drew the pattern backwards.

Very clean setup! I like it!

Aside from the clearance issue with the battery, putting the battery holder directly on the chassis will also lower the CG.

I never thought of that solution. I've run into the same clearance issues. Nice job!

Like the Buggy. What motor r u running?

The work space is killer too. But I think it would make me crazy to have a space that clean.


Are those tiny floor jacks lined up in the background??? Thats too funny.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Here's a complete picture of the work space. I have a mild case of OCD as you can tell. The motor is a 1512 2.5d/f. I went with Mike's suggestion. My son loves the jacks. I picked them up at Northern Tools and Equipment.

Nothing wrong with being tidy- cleanliness is next to goddliness, or something like that I believe.

*young orfan mode* Please sir, can I have some more (pics of that truck, top right in the picture)?

It my E-maxx that keeps evolving. It has a 7XL or 8XL and a BK 9920 running 2-2s 8000 MAh lipos. Fastlane chassis, UE spiders 6 gears, strobe and sprong, JSP rollcage, spurr wheelie bar, RC4WD beadlock rims, RPM arms, etc.... This is the truck that started the madness, and got me hooked-up with Monster Mike.
