Ah , i mis read what you said, its the battery case that needs a slight shave...

The cells are predominantly for use in a 501, however it may sometime crop us where by i can also use them in my madrat ot the T4 ( these usually have a trakpower 4900 stick under normal use ).

I was told not to bother with the cradles , i was on about the brass ones at the time originally for a b44, by some more experienced uk drivers who provide input direct to tamiya. My car itself was owned by such a person and has various parts fitted that are not available to purchase, such as 11 deg castor blocks ( alloy ), chassis with cells further back, upper arms mounts that already include the spacers ( extra material machined ) etc. among other things, that i would prob not even notice the difference on lol .

Because ther knowledge on the car far exceeds mine, i just went with there advice.
