Didn't the Clodbuster have dual shocks either side?
The "after" pictures had me thinking of their TXT.Certainly did. The new chassis has got space for a second but it's very common for modded Clods to go to a single shock. Aftermarket oil damped shocks tend to be stiffer than the originals and it would be over-sprung and over damped with 2 at each corner.
Don't break the heatshrink on the new battery.OK hive mind...
I have just got a nice new much longer lasting battery pack for the car. But...
For some reason it won't *quite* go through the chassis slot (it goes 3/4 of the way through the first part of the slot, then the "foot plate" on the battery catches on something and it won't go any further
My options are:-
Can't think of any other options. I am veering towards (1) as I'm worried about breaking the battery.
- Use the dremmel with a sanding attachment to try and sand down any ridges in the slot.
- Break the plastic wrap on the battery and try to sand down the plastic foot plate
Anyone got any other ideas?
Older Kyosho kit*?This time of year always reminds me of when I was running the Hobbystores shop. We always made a huge Tamiya order in time for Christmas and the new year. Wonder if people still buy them as presents?

Always thought this was a Tamiya but now not so sure. Anyone recognise it?
Have you tried feeding the battery in from the other side?
Receiver shelf* caused some problems on the TL-01/TB-01.
*Right-hand side, behind the battery.
From memory, the two halves of the box chassis has overlapping, interlocking tabs along the bottom of the chassis. Are all these in the correct place, not creating a bump on the inside?Yep, tried both sides :-( What's odd is that on visual inspection there isn't any obvious impedence to the batteries progress.
