Well had to get me another 501 and its in build as we speak lol.

Hmm which lipo's are you guys using.

There is the Lrp, trakpower, Venoms etc.

Is there any that fit better than others etc?

Im also told about theres a chap on here that makes brass weights to fit in the cell slots in the chassis. Does anyone know much about this?

Thanks

That might have been me who made the weights ? I did some for a few people, unfortunately it was far too time consuming as I was custom making them for different cars, ultimately I couldnt make them for everyone who asked which made me feel bad :(

On the point of weights and using them to locate the Lipo's, it wont be as pretty but some lead sheet cut to the size of the cell slots and stuck to the lipos would do the job. Unless that sexy b44 brass lipo cradle can be made to fit ?

Hmm any pics please? The new trf is going to be a very high spec car, and if i have to adapt it to maybe custom fit brass trays in i will. I haveny purchased saddle lipos as yet, so would even buy lipos to suit the trays and mod the car if poss to fir the trays lol.

If you decide to get one of these trays, let us know how you get on with fitting it please? ( I have decided to sell my bj4 and start running the 501x)
