All batteries, radio gear and speed controller
fitted onto chassis plate
which is connected to body with six bolts

Captive nuts in body shell

Battery packs made to fit space.
12 batteries giving 14.4V i.e. 2 x 6 connected in series.
Recharging socket and switch fitted into chassis plate underneath the cab.
Chassis plate is scrap fibre glass sheet
The radio gear as shown is a Radio link receiver working a 10amp Mtronics Viper controller. This worked perfectly well. This has since been replaced by a Deltang combined receiver and speed controller. These units are minuscule and will fitted into virtually any model (and work out a lot cheaper). Highly recommended.
