Today we’re back under the hood of the Bastard Jr custom RC rock crawler, and this thing keeps pushing me into creative territory 😅🛠️

With dual servos, tons of articulation, and all the wild upgrades this rig already has, finding a clean, reliable spot for the batteries turned into a serious challenge.

But hey — that’s half the fun! 🔧🤘

In today’s wrench session:
✔️ I dig into the chassis to hunt for battery space
✔️ Adjust the transmission to open up room
✔️ Test side-mount options
✔️ Explore under-hood placement
✔️ Think about adding a hood scoop… (okay, probably not 😂)
✔️ Discover that these smaller battery packs might be exactly what this crawler needed

Bastard Jr is getting closer and closer to dialed-in perfection — and this battery setup might finally be the one 🔋🔥
