Chassis for lipo

[Bungleaio]

Now that the lipo list is out will xtreme be releasing a chassis that doesn't feature the cut outs for sub c cells?

[Cooper]

yes, very likely

you just need to cut them down to 44mm long
i couldn't do this at work, i just cut my one with a cutting disk on a dremal

give us a pm if your interested

[jimmy]

is that with the bevel for that price Timmy? in which case put me down for a 'length' (ooerr) please.

I received mine this morning and I've fitted them today. I used some two part epoxy to stick them to the chassis which hasn't left the neatest finish but I don't think they will be falling out. I think I will need to drill through one to mount the servo for the stick conversion so having them well glued should be an advantage.

I still hope xtreme release a chassis without the holes but this will do me for now.

received the carbon strap this week ... cuted it down to 6 pieces of the right length, disasembled the whole electronics in my pred to fit them in ...
to discover they are no tight er even near tight fit :(
The bevel isn't right.

now thinking about what to do, trying to sand them down to the right angle? that's gonna take me hours of work ... and I have to drive tomorrow.
damn.

[Bungleaio]

Mine weren't a tight fit either mate, they stand proud of the chassis by a fraction of a mm, i think this is due to the carbon fibre being slightly thicker than the chassis, thats why I glued them in.

I have now drilled through one of them to mount my servo and they seem pretty well stuck in.

[timmy121]

sorry to hear that they havn't fit well there the same as i got in my car and my'n are a good fit

[Lowie]

well, i decided it had to done as I need to re-fit the electronics to be able to drive today and to compeed on sunday + bad weather announced for sunday so...

I also closed the batteryslots on my X10 before, but did this with two-component-epoxy. This gave me a lot of sanding work, and maybe was not as nice looking as the carbon but is a much better fit, and this closed ALL unnescesary holes in the chassis.

my X10:

So in future I guess I will choose for my own method and not the carbon solution.

Anyway, So I decided to install the carbon straps ... and after this job, began on my schoolwork ... and got to bed around 04.30 am.
MyGod, today is gonna be a looong day :cry:

mine stick out between 0.5 and 1.0 mm above the chassis (on the inside).
I'll post a picture later on.

Strange tough. I can't imaging the X11-chassis having different battery-slots as they are all made from the same mould, I should think.
