Re: Zil 130 Thing
Since space in this thing is rather limited and I plan on running a Beier sound unit, I ran out of space for the battery. I was hoping to avoid it, but I had to resort to building a "toolbox" to house the battery, a 3s 2700mah. It's made of styrene with a diamond plate veneer.
 I'll be adding magnets to secure the lid and painting it black after I do some final touches to it.  No brake lights or housings were included with the kit so old Axial parts to the rescue!  I just need to figure out how to cleanly route the wiring.  Got the shifter installed and figured I'd give the driver some comfort and convenience a 20th century truck driver has come to expect!

Re: Zil 130 Thing
Ugh. So despite making the battery box as low and short as I could it's simply going to interfere with the nose of the trailer on anything, but the flattest of terrain. And since this thing is 4 wheel drive, I expect it to see its fair share of undulating terrain. So I have to figure out another plan. Here's what I'm dealing with....
Space under the hood is limited. Keep in mind there's a motor and trans in the middle.  This is the stuff that needs to find a home in the truck.  The speaker was intended to go here, under the bench seat.  Battery is just too thick to fit in there so a new battery would likely be needed if I put it here.  I'm still messing around with component placement and I'm sure I'll come up with something decent.....eventually! LOL
