ZX5 questions...

[Swerving]

Sorry guys, but as someone once said, the only stupid question is the one no one asks!

I am trying to fit a 2S lipo into my buggy but for the life of me can't get the batery strap to fit. It seems the easiest answer may be just to file/grind off the lug that points downwards. The lipo is slightly bigger than the nimh that the buggy came with and not allowing the battery strap to fit and get the pins in.
How did you manage?

I have never owned a buggy with a slipper clutch and having tried it out the other day it seems to take ages before the clutch is fully engaged, when on full acceleration. Is this normal or should I tighten the nut?

How do you fit everything inside??? I was intending to replace the stock ESC and receiver but there simply doesn't seem enough space to fit mine in. Perhaps I will retian the stock ESC and replace just the receiver.

Thanks.
