Just can't get over that rear turnbuckle as a brace. Does the old stffener bolt up? Looks like battery swap is a pain.

The original top deck on the SV was bolted on, or used body clips. The soft top deck option wasn't.

The SV2 can also be changed to just use a pin to hold the lipos in place but to be fair it only takes 30 seconds to do it.

The turn buckle brace is the way many cars seem to be going these days, and the car handles like a dream so it seems to be a good progression

Battery change is fine. The front pin comes out and then you can lift the top deck up. The only real pain is undoing the four screws on the top that hold the top deck in place.

Earlier today I was comparing the flex of the SV2 and the 8mm SV with the skinny top deck.

The SV2 is a LOT stiffer, but very noticeably, the flex is in a totally different place - just in front of the motor, rather than roughly in the middle of the car as of the SV.

This makes sense with 2wd, flex at the rear to generate more grip.

The turnbuckle makes sense as it allows side to side flex, but not front to rear.

Can't wait to run it this Sunday!

it also doesnt have to be bolted up take a look you can use body clips for quick release if you wish,

Well looks like I am sold on the SV2. Saddle Lipos only by the looks of it though. Bit annoying considering I only have stick ones.
