Re: what size battery
2s 6400mah I believe is the size I have. But all their cases are the same to conform to Roar rules for racing.

Re: what size battery
I don't know the actual measurements but I use SMC hardcase lipos and they fit snuggly. I don't even bother with the hold downs.

Re: Tamiya 6T pinion
I use the stock pinion but swapped the standard 27t kit motor for an rc4wd 55t. Really slows it down and lots of torque.

Re: headache rack questions
The other thing is a king hauler is a one piece body where the aeromax is a two piece. So unless he wants to cut the roof of the bunk it's not as simple as the aeromax would be.
