After several attempts at putting 3 more batteries inside the body I decided to make a bracket for only one more battery. The idea was for each motor to have 2 batteries making 4 batteries for the drive and one for the electrics.

This would allow me to drive the mini around longer without having to recharge. Well I could not find space inside the body that was easily accessible. The batteries could be installed in the lower portion of the body but access would have been time consuming so I decide against that.

It turns out a battery could fit between the body supports. Since I wanted all loads hanging from the frame I made a neat little bracket. It turns out there was also a space just in front of this bracket and resting on the middle leg but part of the battery would stick up into the dome and I was not sure if that would be a problem in the future so I decided against it
