i used a mill to cut mine but u could easily use a coping saw or similar to do it. took me a few hrs but im happy with my job. check my hyper 8.5 build thread for pics...

the mount, u can always just try making one yourself or saving up and spending the cash on mikes one.

I really liked the Tekno battery tray for the Revo, so I am sure the quality of their other battery tray will be as good. Only problem is that you have to drill 4 new holes. With the RCM battery tray, you can use existing chassis holes which is a huge benefit in my opinion, however I found the Tekno battery tray to be more securely mounted to the chassis, but the RCM tray holds the battery more securely, so each have their pluses and minuses. You can't go wrong with either one though.

Hope this helps.

Thanks jnev, i knew there would be flex inthe chassis-but didnt think that there would be so much to throw off gear mesh. so it looks like rcm mount... have to scrounge up some funds for that. or... i could make a flat mount out of 1/8th inch aluminum, bolt it to the center diff.
as for battery tray.... still 10 bux vs. 45 bux.


Tc3, do you have any other pics of that tray?
