well my 2 cents for adding a body would be to hook up sum of those hearing aid batteries (size and weight) to the top and then make a jumper so u dont have to use them all the time, due to not being rechargeable and all.... or u could get sum more of those zip zap batteries (since u kno how much volts it can take now so try differnt types of batteries to see if you can get size down with a rechargeable battery... thats what i would do if i had a job to pay for this if i broke it, LOL

The clip came from the motor and chassis clip from another chassis which is being used for parts. You can use sta-cons too, which are sorta like quick connects you can get at RS. I will do a tutorial when I do one for the AWD car.

For what it's worth, I gave a pair of lithium polymer cells a shot last night and all I can say is WOW! 8.4V fresh off a charge, 7.2 nominal and lighter than 4 AAA cells. THe stock electronics seemed to take it in stride although I can't be too sure that I am loosing some power due to overloading the thing (= heat).
I removed the stock battery holders and used double sided foam tape to hold one on each side of the chassis. The body fits too.
I should warn you though that if you discharge these batteries below 3V per cell they will be ruined. So I have to work on a cutoff circuit.
These things are cool, but don't tell the owner (my son) I said so.

Quick dis-connect
I did mine kind of cheap. I had a old motherboard with fan. I pulled the fan header off the board and cut the wire off the fan. Whala.. a quick disconnect. If you dont have spare parts lying around I would check Radio shack or a hardware store. They would definetly have something to make one

My quick connect came from a spare chassis and a stock motor, but you should be able to find something else if you look at any electronics store.

I don't have one yet...and at the price he is asking, I might not get one. This thing goes fast enough for me......for now. Besides, I need to save my money for Emaxx hop ups.....now those are expensive!
