Next step is the driver, I have the paint for both Peterson and Depailler, leaning Peterson like the boxart.

This D bag is here to remind me not to ruin the paint job, and become the D bag.

The directions call for a Tamiya LF1100-6.6V LiFePO4 racing battery.

Those racing packs are $90, if you can find them, and while I really like the safety of LiFe, the performance seems to be a bit weak still, if I'm to believe the early reviews. The issue here is the battery compartment in this P34 model, between the fiberglass decks, is about 24mm, a standard LiPo/NiMh is 25mm.
I bought a cheap pair of 5200 LiPo that had 24mm thickness, to see if I can fit those, will report back.

This model was a lot of fun to build, really like the quality and look of it so far, hoping to do the paint work correctly. Driver is up next.
