DMS X-Partz Lipo battery strap for X6

[Darren Boyle]

As some of you may have read already in the "slipper" thread, we have now finalised our all new one piece carbon fibre battery strap for the X6 for use with LIPO batteries.

The pre-production straps are being test fitted to several cars tonight and tommorow to check fit etc and if all is correct the first production run starts on thursday. We should have stock in and ready to go by friday afternoon.

Once they have been signed off we will release the first photos/cad images of them which should be tommorow afternoon, they will then be added to the X-Factory UK website with the price confirmed too (which we hope to be around £18/19).

All I can say is they are super sexy and really look the part, they are one single piece and made from 3mm carbon fibre, the design looks awesome when fitted on the car, wait till you all see them...... Hopefully available through all good X-Factory dealers from Monday 22nd December

will all the fixings be included because i presume they wont fit straight on without any mods to the chassis ?

[Darren Boyle]

Leon, no mate, IMHO much nicer and uber cool - similiar (ish) layout (nothing against the one in your image, we were offered that one to sell but we already had our own one in the pipeline).

Jono, the plan is to sell it as just the strap, we will be recommending that you use two AE style thumb screws for the front mounting and it utilizes the original rear mounts that we already use. We may well do a "mounting kit" seperate, we will see but the plan is that instructions for fitting will be included in the packet of each one.

Pictures will be released for the first time tommorrow, we think you will like what you see.....

LOL, if I had'nt of left the CAD pictures on my memory stick at the shop then I was going to upload them tonight, but since I am at home and the memory key is at the shop..........

Hence why it will be tommorow guys, its worth the wait I promise!! (looking at my test one on the car now, it fits awesome and looks "the nuts")

As you can see the two rear mountings use the original posts from the kit, the front two will be secured with thumbcrews threaded down into the the two "chassis bosses" either side of the "two cell box".

My own car (the one in the photo) currently has these two bosses filed away for easier fit of my ESC and RX in their old postions but I am preping a new chassis as we speak tonight which will have the thumbscrews in place for the front two mounting holes, LIPO across the middle and ESC moved to the centre (mounted on two carbon plates to sit over the cell holes which we are working on too).

Hope you all like, available from all of our X-Factory dealers either very late this week or early next.....
