Struggled a little bit with my Rescat18 but was able to get it done. Yeah was fun trying to mount the battery, electronics and mount the stock body. Reused my stock sliders to help with the electronics lay out and wish I knew about the heat to mount the battery tray. I just screwed one side in and bent it. Also I am running the Oppai Factory skid, which gives a flat belly and raises the upper links so had to drill holes and counter sink them so they would clear the front upper link screw head and rest within the chassis. I have tried several times to leave this comment but it does not seem to stay. Ran the rear without shocks as I didn't like the sink bug look I was getting at first. Initial impression on the rocks is good so far. I posted pics on the Res Facebook page and added a scale cooler to hide the rear mounting bolt I used for the body and RES performance sticker for good measure.

@@edgargonz12 good info, appreciate it. We'll include a description on using the battery tray whether on the stock slider holes or heating the tabs to bend down and attach to the side of the chassis. Real estate is a premium on these. If you can get all the electronics in the middle, thats an accomplishment and worth it for the sidehill and balance. If you can get most of it below the top of the rail, it should start really performing even with minimal weight. We may be adjusting the rear shock position to lower the rear. It is a challenge to do on stock springs. It could use lighter springs all around. The next thing we'll be doing is tune the shocks, possibly try aftermarket. Stock does articulate smoothly.

I ran it today and my side hill is still awesome with the sliders. Furitek Pro without case and small Rcvr de cased as well mounted to them and small 2s battery same place where you mounted yours.
