The box mounted on the front of the tower is a rush battery box here is a link->Battery box (http://http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVK03&P=7)
you will need a bracket to mount it to the shock tower
link for the old style shock tower battery box bracket ->Battery bracket (http://www.innovative-rc.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_26&products_id=85)
link for the X style shock tower battery box bracket->Battery bracket X tower (http://www.innovative-rc.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_26&products_id=163)
The radio box if you are wondering is a RPM MGT radio box here is a link to that ->Receiver box (http://http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDGR1&P=M)
Hope that was of some help.

well thanx alot jt how much will £2.00 be in usd? and have you ordered from there? it looks pretty simple to make too. i might try that first.
I have made my own bracket before, and ordered a bunch of stuff from Innovative including one of those brackets. Figure the the USD price is almost double of that listed on his site. His shipping time is really quick too, about 10 days is the average to the states. Rob over there is a great person to deal with too, later this year (real soon) he will have a US distributor of his parts.

£2.00 is about $3.87 in USD. Here is an easy currency converter (http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi) link if it's a help to anyone else.
Just one small addition to JT's battery box mount - it works really great unless you really go hardcore bashing...right JT?! LOL!!!

It was funny to see the battery box go flying from the truck. LOL The whole truck was trashed that day!

No prob. hope it helps. If you're just racing it, it *should* hold up fine. We were pretty much in the process of breaking everything that day. If you see something go flying and all of a sudden you have no throttle, brake, steering, etc., then you can be sure it was the battery box...LOL.
