So far so good

It worked out pretty well.

Is this something that you might carry? I did a search didn't find much available as far as Kyosho parts. I'm making up my own aluminum ones but these look pretty darn good.

I do carry the Kyosho battery trays. I thought I had them listed in the store, but a quick search didn't yield the result I was looking for! That explains why they don't sell so well(though I do sell them here or there through emails)!

Brian - I used HDPE for the spacer. I have this stuff around all the time - it is pretty cheap, cuts real easy and is pretty rugged stuff. I cut all my prototypes in the stuff before I waste the aluminum to find out it doesn't fit the way I hoped! It costs about 1/3 as much as aluminum and I can cut it 5 times as fast. :)
