Not the trays upside down, the stock battery straps upside down so the flat side is against the lipo instead of the humps designed for the NiMh cells. Aren't the bars between cells in the B44 trays lower than the outer lip to make about a 1/8 inch pocket that would securely hold the LiPo when setting on top of the bars (I'm working off memory-don't have the car in front of me right now)? Otherwise, we need to get someone to mold LiPo trays for the car.
If there was a little side to side movement in the tray, you could double side tape to graphite straps on top to keep the pack from sliding around. The lexan under tray or one of the vinyl chassis sheets will protect the pack itself from the abrasions from the bottom.

Hey Glitchy, you were in Hutch this last weekend, right? It was awesome watching the B44's run. They were fast. This was my first Classic and it was cool to see the fast guys at my home track. I was amazed watching Brown. Learned a lot about driving lines too. I took dead last in mod buggy but won my main in mod truck (with a borrowed truck). I had a lot of fun.

air8, yep I was there. I ran fair in BL Stock buggy (2nd in the B) and pretty much sacrificed mod buggy to focus on 4wd. I broke in 2 of the 3 2wd quals and knew I'd have traction problems in the (cough, cough) D main, but didn't take the time to worry about finding the right tires and setup for the D since I was in the A for 4wd.
BTW, my real name is Shane...what's yours? There were some guys that were definitely flying in all classes. I tried to make sure I stayed out of the top 3-4 driver's way during the mains...I was definitely a step below them for speed.

In the pack of ball cups, you get enough standard length ball cups to do an entire car. If you want to use the longer rear ball cups, for extra wheel clearance, the shorter turnbuckles aren't hard to find. They are 1.00" AE turnbuckles. I walked into my LHS and found them on the wall...

[QUOTE=rripp;3827991]The whole team has been using no one way on the BJ4 for a year or so. If a one way is ever used, it is the center one. The front hd ntc3 one way is totally out of the question as far as I am concerned. It makes the car way too aggressive. The two diff, no one way set up is also better for brakes. You can drive deeper in to the corners and stop since all 4 wheels have brakes.QUOTE]
So I'm gonna hold off on the front one-way, but where can I get the center one?
