Kraton Receiver box relocation / battery tray mod

[neighborhater383ci]

Used a 3/4s receiver box to mount it up between the front body posts where it fits perfectly, just had to make standoffs and use longer screws to mount it with the same holes used for the mud guard. Did all of that in the name of lower cg and ability to run longer and/or more batteries. I moved the original battery tray as far forward as I could, sanded down the locating pins on the bottom + cut away a few areas to fit and then did the same thing to another stock tray but flipped 180 degrees to the original. Shown are two 3s 5000mah and they fit perfectly laying flat, but I’m going to be getting some large 4s packs for some 8s fun

Creative thinking! Is that a Kraton chassis? Did you have to drill new chassis holes for the battery boxes?

Yes and yes I have a brand new one in the mail today so once I have it all finished on the new chassis I’ll post better pictures

Well that took longer than expected… shipping got delayed but here’s the final results on the not so twisted chassis
