I also bought the quick change kit and decided to keep the threads, discard the nuts and use standard FT thumb nuts. However, for the front two nuts I have reduced their height (screw the nut onto a screw, stick it in the Dremel and hold against a sheet of sandpaper) by approximately a half and bevelled the edges, still very easy to screw on but lower profile.

I also cut slots in the two rear holes of the battery brace, so I never have to fully unscrew those nuts, just pull the brace out. I know there were warnings about this allowing the chassis to flex more, but I don't believe that for European driving this is an issue - let's face it you have a very stiff lipo battery doing that job for you.

Oh, and as already mentioned, I cut the body along the lower of the two cut-lines.
