full size stick lipo in my mid motor tlr 22
 

as the title says ive done the impossible and manage to fit a full stick lipo in my new 22,a friend of mine susgested using the rear motor esc mount in the mid conversion.
with a bit of cutting and altering of this part this then allows you to fit the reciever on there and is close to the esc as this mounted on the motor plate all the electrics are in one spot as is the pt and esc switch,am very pleased with this as its turned out very neat.
the battery stil holds in with one velcro strap and can be removed in seconds.:thumbsup:

click on reply and then go onto the advanced reply and at the button it should give you the option of adding and attachment.

hope this helps

thanks pal pics now on :thumbsup:

Have you added a extra gear to the rear mounted gearbox? As it will run backwards if you havent

He has used the mid motor gearbox:)

ooooooooh now that's got my interest up!.

Thinking of a change but didnt want the extra cost of batteries etc etc.

I´ve nearly finishes my last night and since then I was thinking of the Layout too.
But I´d like to mount my esc on the chassis!!!
What about getting the bat "diagonal" in the car??
I think I´m going to try this. will see =) .... time to be creative !!

problem whith running batteries diagonal is you have different wait transfer it will have to mount sideways of normally to keep weight equal on all points of the car.

yes, that sounds right, ok. idea gone now =(

sorry didnt mean to put your idea down or anything but you dont want to be drilling or cutting any parts then realising this :)

yes of course, you are right, thanks for that.:thumbsup:

Had a new idea now xDD

I got it!!!
And the feature is that i can run Both, stick and saddle!!!!!
At the moment i got the esc and the reciver on an alu plate above the the bats.
Nearly like on the following pic (from the Show me your 22 section) which inspired me, but with a longer plate that my reciver fits there too.
I´m Planing to buy a Tekin RS Pro which goes on the "radioplate"of the car and then only mount the reciver on that alu plate.

Pics will follow!!

good work looks neat,raced mine today with full size stick lipo on a very slippy track 22 was well balanced with the full length stick very smooth to drive so far so good the 22 gets my vote:thumbsup:

any updates on how this idea works? how about some pics of the mods to get the pack in?

I mounted my ESC on a plate above the cells too and with a short servo i can fit the stick packs in but having a B44 i have saddles anyway

Hey guys,
this is my install, but at the mom im planing to find another way of mounting the ecs plate, i think i´ll go the same way as the most do coming from the top of the guard!

full size lipo!!!
 

you guy wasting time making brackets......

i ve got a full size lipo with a small savox, and im using the speedo mount bracket from the rear motor. Opition but cut the 2 lugs of so then it butts up to the mid motor protection casing, and using the original holes that would be used for the rear motor speedo plate.

alright dan if you see the first post on this thread thats what i have done best way pal saves you buying new cells.

anyone tried it? Hows the handling compared to saddles/shorty lipo? I'm sure there's many ways to mount everything.

awsome is what i can says i came 2nd at southport in the b final's
