Default Conversion from buggy to Tsunami

Okay in the past few weeks I have been slowly converting my buggy into a Tsunami and this is what I have so far, still waiting on 4 2.2 moab tires and 4 2.2 Mudrock challenger beadlock chrome rim's. and the body plus a few other things.

when you get the aluminum top plate does it leave the receiver open to the world? Or is there another box you put it in to keep it concealed? if it is open how do you keep it from flopping on the ground?

You have to use a 5 cell hump pack battery for it to fit in here.

Some sell the top plates as a set with boxes and some without, if you email
http://allaboutfunhobbies.com/store/...cPath/2_43_100 I'm sure he will set you up with a top plate that comes with everything you need to get it in, boxes and all, and the last 2 picture's shock plates you see are the stock ones, this picture here is the upgraded shock plate.

Yeah its easy to unscrew I got the air filter from allaboutfunhobbies he's running low on stock till the new 2008 comes in, so if your wanting one let him know and he will take care of it for you.
