Did you figure a place to put the battery?
I tryied out behing the passengers seat (RC), maybe with a small
battery, but not with the stock one. I don't want to loose space in the
bed. There's a large empty pocket between the frame and the body under
the bed in the forward right side. I could rig something and hang the
battery upside down (Optima) from there. Having only sheet metal above
and on one side of the battery makes me nervious though.
