NEW trakpower 3200 Saddles

[mark christopher]

New 3200 with zero modification needed, they are lower than the 4200nimh, last 3 pictures shows battery strap available from fibrelyte

[stegger]

There cool mark they would look fantastic in the S500

Mine have just arrived

Did you just cut the connectors off the link wire and solder a male corrally connector on at 90 degrees?

Did you also keep the smaller connector on which is attached to one end of one of the link wires, as my trakpower balancer appears to need to connect into this?

Do you have the address for Fibrelyte

[V-Rossi]

Mine also arrived, will be testing them next Sunday with an Orion 6,5T (TRF501X). I'm having some lead plates made also to fit under the packs for lower CG. Only problem is fitting them properly into the battery slots.

[mark christopher]

nope i got two corally plugs and a flightpower 2mm tube connector and made my own (trakpower are loking at making the lead like i have)

Mate, they look sweet.
And they're available now?
How much?

[Kecky]

Tel, I got mine from MK Racing, with the trakpower 550LI charger and v-balancer for 115 quid.

Mark, do you think it would be ok to make up a link wire using motor wire and corrally's so I can fit in the car, but swap to the trakpower link wire for charging?

I am assuming the type and thickness of wire shouldn't make to much difference as long as it is of decent guage or do you think I would need to use the same 3.98mm.

Cheers
Ryan

Do they fit in a xx4?

A

[Cockerill]

I *think* they will Ash with slight modification of the battery straps. I'll be able to let you know for sure on Monday/Tuesday.

[mark christopher]

plus shipping plus tax if your caught, makes em cheaper in the uk at £45

[V-Rossi]

You don't get caught in HK, seriously, some of my orders had the size of two boxes of car kits next to eachother, but I never had any problems with customs. Buying in the US is indeed more dangerous.
(I'm not talking about transmitters etc., which are always held by customs, also when they come from HK).

[dan_kitty]

with regards to fitting them on a d4, would glueing a spare set of the plastic battery trays to the bottom work, you would then retain forwards/rear battery placement options?

there 45 quid here you seriously aint gonna risk getting whacked by the taxman for a quid

[Kecky]

I've just put mine in my BJ4WE and they just squeeze in, in between the battery holder posts.
And if i leave the plastic battery tray in, they just fit in under the battery strap too.
They are so snug i don't think i will need anything else to hold them in place.

The fact that its a lipo version sort of gives it away But ye i think you need a balancer, Mark will tell you.
