Well, I've put my upgrade kit together now. Quite surprisingly I did not have to shave any of my plastic or aluminium parts for clearance on the belts and pulleys.

I like the chassis but am a bit disappointed with a few things.

First, to me it looks like the top bridge was an unnecessary new part, and the kit could have been a tad cheaper.

Second, I'm not liking the fit of the lipo trays at all. My Lipos have a LOT of side play. The max width for lipos is 47mm and I measured 48mm. While it may not seem a big difference, it lets the lipo move quite a bit.

Besides, I'm getting quite a bit annoyed at the impossibility to have the plugs facing towards the front of the car, meaning quite long wires from ESC to the packs.

Soooo I've come up with a new design for the top deck that will allow the plugs to be placed forwards, along with new lipo trays.

I'm currently waiting on the parts to be produced, I will post pictures once I'm 100% sure all fits well.

First run will be on sunday, hopefully with the new lipo mounting way
