does that front bulkhead just drop right on or do you have to modify it at all?

How difficult is it to get that lipo in and out of the truck? On my last SRT, I had to make my own upper chassis plate that was clearanced a bit more near the battery. My hard case 2S packs would fit, but I had to remove the rear battery brace to get the pack in or out. I could have cut the original plate and used the forward front battery box locations (for 7-cell battery), but didn't want to cut-up a rare piece. Plus, it would have given me way more room than needed.

Here's what I ended up with:

peuge73 referenced this place (site). Don't recall the thread.......it's a Dutch site?

Scroll down to 1989 and 1990.
