Figured I would post a pic of my new project since I have finally made some progress.

IMO a black bulkhead and tranny case would really bring it together even more. I look forward to your updates.

Very nice! I'd also go black on the bulkhead and tranny case.

IMO leave the white tranny Contrast is good. All that said, it looks great. Also IMO, my opinion is worth what you paid for it.

since opinions are flying around IMO a blue bulkhead and yellow GomachV lethal weapon tranny would look just fricken awesome

Looking good. While we are at it, I say go fluorescent pink all around!

Cant wait to see more.

Finally have a roller

that's really cool

For those of you guys who use (longitudinal) battery retaining systems, how do you fit them under the bulkhead with a battery in? LP shorties?

I cut out the bottom piece of the bulkhead in order to fit the lipo. You can also get a re-release RC10 bulkhead, which has the bottom plastic piece removed to allow for more space. With a shorty pac, you can put a sponge spacer in and then use a t-bar style hold down

You can see the updated bulkhead here.

And here is how to fit a shorty with some sponge spacers.


That's from this modern RC10T build.

yep- thanks for this. My question was truly about the battery "bar" itself - it cannot fit under the bulhead when there's a lipo there, as opposed to the original worlds' bar which could as the edge of the 6x1 pack was rounder (it was a sub-c...), be it a re-re BH or not

The pic of our very own scr8p's car, as he got his Andy Warhol moment, shows that the strap is actually cut - clear now

cheers

Where did you find that JC battery strap, I have been looking for one forever!!!
