Default Associated B4.1/B4.2 esc shelf with battery strap

So, I'm thinking of making several ESC shelft for the B4/.1/.2
This is what an inline configuration looks like:


Main advantage is of running your esc like this:
Putting the esc on a shelf will slightly raise the center of gravity, wich allows the rear suspention to roll more and have more grip.

I'm planning on making them out of a 2,5mm thick black glass-fiber plate.
To make sure the shelf will fit on the car, I make a prototype with a 3D printer, I'll have the shelf next week.
I'm going to sell the plates for about 5$ (shipping not included).

Here is a little preview of how the shelf is going to look like.



Only problem now is, I would like to know how people there are interested in buying a shelf, so I don't have lots of shelfs left in the end.

If you are interested in a shelf, post a reply here so I have some kind of reference on how much people I have to make a shelf for. Also let other people know I'm making these shelfs.

Update 1:

Contacted several companies for producing these parts.
Also the material will be carbon fiber, just because it looks better
Also started making battery straps.
I'm going to receive my 3D printed parts on Wednesday so then I'll know if I have to do adjust anything or what so ever.

This is how it will look fitted.

Update 2:

UPDATE!!

So yeah, was going to make several esc shelfs and battery straps but now AE has released one,
Is there interest in mine?.


Just got my 3D printed parts to make sure they'll fit before I cut out the carbon


What do you guys think?
I might make the base a little bit wider so you have more space to fit your esc (and capacitor) and also make a slot so you can route your servowire to your shocktower and then to your receiver.

When using a full pack, you have to use 2mm washers.
But the pack still rubs a bit.


Fitted with battery:





Looking to make the final product out of carbon fiber (2mm) NOT this material. I would like to kind of know how much I have to make,
Probably will sell them for around 10$. Still depends on how much people there are interested..
So if you really want to buy one, send me a message.
