Default Stumpy lipo sideways on chassis

Have mounted stumpy lipo sideways on chassis to get as much weight over rear wheels as possible without adding weight.
You have to dremel some of the side pods away to make it fit.
Also mounting it this way you cannot use the original shell, i use the ftw vane shell which has a lot more room on the side where the lipo connectors are positioned.
Ran it last sunday at http://www.mercc.org.uk which is a grass/hard packed dirt track for the first time since only getting the car on the wednesday.
It handled superbly.

How did you mount the large velcro? Is it underneath the under lipo weight kit?

Yes i did.
What i had to do was drill through the brass plate using the four chassis holes,nut and bolt the plate down with the velcro strap sandwiched between.

You wrote without haveing to add weight but you have a shed load of extra weight there.
Whats up with the extra capacitor and the extra small/thin wire?

At a guess, I would say the wire is a direct feed for the fan, and the extra cap is for the RX.
