lipo saddles
 

has anyone done the work to make the lipo saddles fit the pred and if so does it intail much moving things around.

You need to move the servo and battery posts, back approx 5mm and make a spacer to sit down the middle so theey can't catch the centre shaft.

hi cooper.

i have a job application giong in my mother's pub, it says "wanted" comedian. :lol::D:lol:

lipo saddles
 

i'm not far off the finished thing, what material would be advisable to use to stop the lipos hitting the centre shaft?

Very stiff foam would be good.

I have used the old battery straps/bars on my stick lipo car.

I have used 5g weights stuck to either side of the central spine

me too... :thumbsup:

they don't fit under the shell...

hey cooper actually they do fit under the shell as i gt it finished yesterday and looks great. i will try to post pics later. but my car doesnt have any drivetrin parts in it lol.. im just getting it ready for when i start running it again.

I was under the impression that the bigger trakpower (4800) & their derivatives (checkpoint) don't fit under the body shell.
