recently i decided to turn my ax10 rtc into my first attempt of a scaler then the xj body came out so now im really trying to piece this together!

i bought a x trail some 90mm rc4wd dual coilovers and proceeded to mount what i have on the chassis i used the link plates to mount the reciever and esc i cant seem to mount hte battery where i want it! it needs to be up front over the shock mounts and the trans (front to back) im using a 7 cell battery currently but need to buy a new bat and charger so i'm open to using a different battery.

thanks for any and all help!

here's how it looks now but the battery's in the back and makes the truck do wheelies!

Are you keeping the servo on the axle? If so I was able to use a stock axial battery tray like this on myold X-Trail. Although flipping the trans around would help clear other motors. There was barely enough room to clear a servo running 90mm SCX shocks as well.
