Default Hood hinge diy

Hey guys. Im new here, but i was working on my wraith tonight and found something cool, so I thought id share. Ive been wanting to hinge the hood so i could move my battery up front. I picked up some Traxxas rod ends for my steering linkage, and when I was looking at them, I thought, man, These may work to hinge the hood. Turns out they fit perfectly over the shoulder of the cage supports. Reinstalled the screws just snug, drilled a few holes and there i was. I think it looks way cleaner than the other ways ive seen. Hope it helps, and if this has been posted before, sorry.
