No juices flowing anytime soon Heading to airport for our flight to Dallas. Going for Michele's brothers wedding. Be back sunday afternoon. Then i hope to get the battery tray built What size battery's are you guys running with this new battery position?

[stelerzman]

Anywhere from a 2200 -5000mah and 3 to 4s. I guess it depends on your inventory or financials.

This battery placement is a lot better. Thanks Trump1 for the idea for the mount. Now i just gotta get a box to put electronics in, i think im gonna put everything over rear axle.

[billj]

After moving the battery, i was able to lower the body . Looks much better now, imo

Your welcome. It looks good. Identical. I'm glad you're happy with the design. I used a Traxxas box.

hey Trump1, do you have a part # for that elec box?

I just happen to have another one that I'm going to use for my G6 build so I have the number handy.

Part # 5624

Thank for the pics of the battery holder. I just got my G6 running and I hate how high the battery is in the front. Now I can make one that I will like better. Thanks..

So I didn't want to order anything for my electronics. I went to Radio Shack and got a 4"x2"x1" project box. Fits perfectly between the shock towers i have the bec and Futaba rx, and still has room for other accessories





I was able to finally get it onto the only rocks nearby (my neighbors fountain)









I have all this yard, and NOT a rock one



Now its time for a cool beverage

Very Impressive! I'm sure the Gas Monkey Glass added "octane" to the contents of it! LOL. Really cool Jeep G6.

Your welcome Bill, now get to work.

So Im feeling i want to soften up the shocks. It came stock with the Red (super soft) short springs. And green (medium) long springs. Im thinking i want to change the greens to whites (soft). Has anyone else tried this?
