Gary, the only thing "eliminated" was the $3 cable, the audio board still supports the battery. The VL-BB doesn't have that cable either.

I had to bend the brake shoe back with a flat hobby screw driver, in order to put the traction tire back on. The factory may never have put it on in the first place because of the tight brake shoe.
The brake shoe is attached with a screw, so you can take it off to do any "surgery".
