Extended posts for battery tray on zx-5
 

I ordered a maxamp 6000mah 2s for my zx-5. It fits the tray perfectly, but is a little tall for the posts. Do they make extended posts?

Maybe I can put spacers underneath the current post, and use longer screws?

Thanks.

not that i know of. spacers will be your best bet. Will it still fit under the shell though?

Alternatively you could Dremel flat the cell dividers to make the Li-Po sit a little lower. I did this with my Core 5000 and it fits very snugly now. I know the idea of Dremelling the chassis might seem like a last resort but those little cell retainers have no effect on the strength of the chassis at all. Hope this helps.:thumbsup:

Hi,

You need some 3Racing alloy battery posts. They come with a silver alloy spacer specially for Lipos. See here
