Finished my tummy tuck and fixed my steering. Fried the main board but luckly adawg69 had another board that we swapped in. Anyways I got about 5 1/2" of ground clearance under the belly now. Haven't run it on the rocks yet but I imagine it will do pretty well.

That looks great! Where's your battery? I'm still considering a tuck, or a half-tuck...but I haven't decided if I want to deal with the raised CG or just use one of my LiPo packs in it...

I like your set up. Can you post some pics of the battery and how it is mounted?

scout21972 · 02-01-2006, 01:01 PM

Here ya go. I had to cut the floor out a little bit. I cut it just enough so that the battery would be held in by the body. I don't have any other battery hold downs in right now. I think that the body will hold it just fine. We'll see if it holds after a few trail runs.

vlmarshall · 02-01-2006, 08:13 PM

Impressive tuck. Thanks for the pictures of the battery mounting. I think I'm gonna pull out the interior and space the battery up to where yours is and do some CG testing... I like the way yours looks!

Toy. Runner · 02-01-2006, 09:46 PM

I can see how you did the batt. but how did you fit both boards under the stock cover, is the big one laying flat on top of the small one?

scout21972 · 02-01-2006, 10:18 PM

I put both the boards on top of each other. You need to make sure that you put something inbetween the two boards though. I used carboard and it seems to work pretty good. I then taped both of them together and layed it down flat under the stck cover.

SNOWTOYOTA · 02-01-2006, 10:27 PM

I'm new here but I fried my main board in my jeep. I was wandering if anybody has a spare main board I can buy.:?

adawg69 · 02-01-2006, 10:49 PM
