3-cell Low Rider
I promised that I'd post these pics of my bB lowrider. The Yellow bB is standard height. It has 2 std cells. My silver one is dropped and has a Layman 3-cell mod.

Notice the slot over the gear in the back. I dropped it so low on accident, that is sit on the heat sink. No matter, it runs great. It also made a good place for the antenna.

2 ways:
1. If you have a high performance car (2-3 cells) or the car falls off the table like mine, you should make it very sturdy like this one. Just cut the body holes taller, and add plastic or metal to the tabs on the chassis's underside to compensate.
2. If you have a show car that's slower, you can just cut a new slot above the standard slot in the body. You will be left with a tiny weak piece of plastic between the two slots. This is how mine began until I jumped it a few times, and broke the sliver, then I just compensated the tabs on the chassis to fill the space.

Ok...
Use a tiny scalpel and a cigarette lighter or torch to heat it up. That should make a nice slot w/o stressing the rest of the body.
I used a dremel.
