My battery plan has changed as the shorty battery I was going to use just isn't going to fit. The height is a tad too tall, but the bigger issue is the connector that falls directly under the belt. There's just no way to get one under there. So, I need to find a battery that'll fit lower and / or has the wires all on the passenger side.

The build is coming along really well, I like it!

I am sure you probably already know this but there are "low profile" shorty batteries available now that might get you the clearance you need. Couple that with low profile bullet connectors and it just might work. Here is an example of a low profile pack: https://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/27324-ASC27324-reedy_zappers_sg_3600mah_110c_7_6v_lp_shorty/

There are dimensions in the link above but if you need more specific dimensions I have a few low profile packs from various manufacturers here at home that I could take a mic to if need be.

Thanks, Mark. I appreciate the tip on the LP shorty batteries. I have about 23mm to work with, so they just might do the trick.

Any updates on this bud.
