looks pretty cool, although that much wire at that diameter is going to have quite a bit of rotation before you get much anti-roll force. How tough is it to get a battery in there?

Doesn't the losi rear bulkhead have a spot for a sway bar? I can't recall, but I want to say it's much like the rc10 configuration, where you can place a roll bar back behind the tower projected rearward to pick up the back of the arms, over top of the top link.

the battery fits perfect goes in/out with no issues at all and doesnt hit the battery no clearence issues. well the reason i went with the sway bar this way was that i wanted to use the rrp side bulkheads since all the other parts are rrp items 8)

Well, that looks functional, if somewhat over-engineered. Lots of extraneous parts and points-of-failure, lots of grub screws to threadlock in...but functionally, it looks intact.

you could do away with either the inner set or outer set of collars, if you wanted. even if a set was to loosen, it probably wouldn't move around much.
