The first thing we did was lose the hard plastic battery clips. Cut slots in the battery tray and put velcro on, saves a ton of headaches and ANY car type 2S battery will fit. I think they only thing we did was cut some reliefs in at the end of the tray for wires to not get crimped.

I did the same thing foir my earthquake. the plastice "hold-downs" were a pain in the butt. Velcro works much better and easier. And I too, use gens ace batteries.

RE: Earthquake E8 Battery box size
I have 2 types of batteries:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=14991
At 139x46x26mm, they're a little long and wide. They fit but especially with the wires coming out the end they're a pain.
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=17272
138x46x25mm, very minor difference but much easier to deal with. The battery terminals coming out the top is a huge plus.
Ihave velcro on one side and use the plastic tiedown for the other. I actually don't care much for the velcro.
