Fitting new batteries in old trays?

[Patrick]

If it was me I'd stick with the stock chassis for now, I never had an problems with mine in 5 years bashing and racing.

I think some of my old stick packs used to be hard to get in as well. I think we (my bother has an e-maxx as well, but he hasn't used it in a couple of years) used to just put some small cuts in the end cap so the wires can come out at a different angle and it shortens the length of the pack by about 3mm. We had the wires going either side of the post and never had any problems after that and never had to do anything to the chassis. I deffinately would not want to be cutting off battery posts.
