No need for body clips in he bed(which i plant permanently mount with this configuration). The two bushings which are attached to the back of the floorpan, were removed and replaced on the bcd in place of the body posts.

My first impression, this truck sidehills like no other..(after doing the shift servo mod, the only thing that sits up high is the motor and steering servo.)articulation isn't half bad and second gear really gets this thing going...i was running a 3 pole 20t motor on 3S, but the transmissions low gear allowed for the sorest of crawling, tire wedges and all. While still allowing the motor to be cool.
My next experiment is to run a 21.5 sensored brushless setup to see if i can kill some of the 2 speed play in the transmission(typical of all 2 speeds) with a smoother startup, stronger drag brake, and really good modulation...if all else fails COBALT PULLER!! Enjoy.

I can't get over how well this truck drives! and it looks ver true to scale when in low gear.. high gear is a different story though...it held up to my abuse. so it goes without saying, It's TOUGH. i plan on testing again once i install the brushless setup...more to come, including a video from today.
