NiMH in CAT SX LiPo
 

In France, we are still waiting to perform LiPo batteries during official races so I decided to temporary place 5 NiMH cells in my CAT SX LiPo:

The servo and motor are a little shifted on right side as batteries shifted on center so that the right/left balance is correct (assuming 10g difference between right/left is acceptable):

The main issu was to keep the cells in place so I made a battery tray mounted with 2 screws on the LiPo chassis:

The servo's horn has been bent too:

I think it will be better to use those low-profile servos (eg. KO Propo 2413 or Futaba 9551) to avoid bending the servo horn.........:D

Probably but it's only for one race...:D

Fantastic job, Oliv :thumbsup::wub:D

Exactly, one or two races only

Thanks mate :thumbsup: (I hope this way I will convert you to the dark side of the force)

Great looking installation fella!

Perfection as usual, your cars always look mint :thumbsup:
