Clamping with a nut disipates the force into all the tower plastic that the screw/nut contact against, this will only dissipate force into the plastic the way the screw is pushed (up or down).
Having apparently sounded negative above, I do actually think as a package it looks good and a big step forward on what's come before.
Preddy are you running one next year?

I agree with you on the shock mounts, but I have always replaced the kit ones with what I like, so it isnt difficult to rectify it, and put a longer screw through.
I like the idea of the wing mount as the ones I use always tend to bend after time and with this solution its just a quick change and game on. But yes you are right and maybe there will be some play after a period of time, but never the less the idea is a good one and there is always room for improvement.
Batteries, I suppose I could always do what Brian Kinwald did when he was using 7 cells, and mount one ontop of the first two and use a foam insert at the back, then I will have to find a way to hold the cells in. Still I like the cars design.
