i was going to install spacers under the front battery tray, but sideways might be a better idea behind the front tires because the battery can sit lower and not be in a way of the front servo, ill have to play with it a little more. I upgraded my transmission gears to metal, but my large pinion gear broke a tooth so i ended up buying 2 more of those, will have to swap out. Some wheels and tires are on order also
