on the top of my skyline body (inside) there were 2 pillars, i took those off with my dremel, then i got some double sided tape and possitioned the battery holder so it wouldnt hit the crystal.
then you have to take out the other motor mount not the heatsink, then tuck the connector behind the motor, then put the body on, you have to use a little presure but not to much.

now for the wiring, the red wire from the battery holder is taped to the top battery with electrical tape, then the black wire is attached to the spring and your done put the body on turn it on and have some fun. just dont overload the car by driving it on thick carpet. sorry people still with shag carpet.

did you buy the battery holder? from the shack? explain how you have it set up and ill see if i can help you. do you have yahoo messenger?

Nugget210 · #9 10-31-2003, 09:32 PM

no yahoo sorry, but i tried your exact method and then some...lemme tell you lol, it just that the rsx ist as long so i cant fit the holder snug, i needa run over to RS tomarrow to get 2 1 AAA holder

and im not into the removing of the pillars cause i have the lights and i dont want the board just taped to the top of the body

I GOT IT..didnt even have to take out the pillars... all u need to do is take a hacksaw, or any teethed item u desire and cut a peice out like the picture and fit it in like CRX said to

would that work for the supra do you think?

I was thinking about getting 2 9volts and running them in parallel. You still get 9volts but a much longer run time. I need to go get some 9v battery holders...
