Mine does NOT have that divider in the center. It is just one large tub. It has what the owners manual shows as style b and c so I think Im good. Either way Im not afraid to do a little cutting to get them in if necessary.

And that would be bad. Very bad. I will take the IR theremometer down with me when I charge them and keep an eye on the temps. Any idea what would be considered hot, or what a normal set is at when charging?

Thanks. I new there would probably be potential problems I hope I can limp this along and still have a little fun on it before I do the upgrade to the batteries. I only get a very short amount of drive time as it is now so its not really useful to me for more than messing around on.
I cant wait to:
Upgrade batteries
Small lift so I can get some better tires on with some actual tread
Putt some sort of work bed on the back. This is to be a work vehicle.
