3S LiPo Battery Spacer Kit for Traxxas Rustler 2WD Trucks

**** UPDATE **** I modified the battery strap slot so it can be turned up side down and used to hold batteries that fit in the compartment like they are supposed to so you don't need to carry your flat strap if you don't want to. Also, if your battery is the right length, but the leads protrude out the front of the battery, (as opposed to being too thick) [this one might work for you](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3685914). **** ORIGINAL **** These parts allow you to use the Gens Ace 3S Hard Case LiPo battery in your Traxxas 2WD truck. The battery P/N is: GA-B-50C-5000-3S1P-HardCase-15. The wedge keeps the battery up so that the wires coming out of the end don't get damaged by the truck chassis. The spacers move the ESC mounting plate up high enough to allow the battery to sit far enough back that it will fit. I used a little bit of CA glue to hold the spacers on the bottom of the ESC mounting plate. My son found some 1in long #6 or #8 fine thread screws in his spare parts kit that worked for the fasteners. Unfortunately, that's all I have for the fasteners, since my son put it all together. If I find out any more info, I'll update this. The heavy duty battery clamp will hold the battery even through high speed crashes (as we unfortunately found out already). You will need to align the spring clip holes with the slots and maybe open up the clips a bit so they slide over the top of the posts instead of clip around the side of the posts. I am working on a spacer for when you use "regular" sized batteries after installing this kit. I'll update this when I get it printed and make sure it fits. If you're still reading this far down and you are wondering about the colors - I used what I had in the printer, and I need to reprint them some day in "cooler colors" - according to my son.
