Chassis for lipo
 

Now that the lipo list is out will xtreme be releasing a chassis that doesn't feature the cut outs for sub c cells?

yes, very likely

got five minute's at work today so made so small carbon fibre inserts of the battery slots fit nice and flush under nether but are just proud inside the tub ( about 0.3mm )

i made four extra long lengths ( which make 7 or 8 bits each )
so I'm putting them up for sale at 8 pounds posted a length
you just need to cut them down to 44mm long
i couldn't do this at work, i just cut my one with a cutting disk on a dremal

give us a pm if your interested

is that with the bevel for that price Timmy? in which case put me down for a 'length' (ooerr) please.

yeah beveled up just need cutting to lenght

if bevelled then put me down for one as well m8

I'll have one too mate, I've sent you a pm

And I'll have one too! PM'd

all four have now sold but if needed i could problely make so more but it may take a couple of day

cheers pete

you can write me down for one as well
Can we pay you via Paypal?

I received mine this morning and I've fitted them today. I used some two part epoxy to stick them to the chassis which hasn't left the neatest finish but I don't think they will be falling out. I think I will need to drill through one to mount the servo for the stick conversion so having them well glued should be an advantage.

I still hope xtreme release a chassis without the holes but this will do me for now.

put me down too please mate for one bar cheers paypal money waiting too

received the carbon strap this week ... cuted it down to 6 pieces of the right length, disasembled the whole electronics in my pred to fit them in ...
to discover they are no tight er even near tight fit :(
The bevel isn't right.

now thinking about what to do, trying to sand them down to the right angle? that's gonna take me hours of work ... and I have to drive tomorrow.
damn.

Mine weren't a tight fit either mate, they stand proud of the chassis by a fraction of a mm, i think this is due to the carbon fibre being slightly thicker than the chassis, thats why I glued them in.

I have now drilled through one of them to mount my servo and they seem pretty well stuck in.

sorry to hear that they havn't fit well there the same as i got in my car and my'n are a good fit

well, i decided it had to done as I need to re-fit the electronics to be able to drive today and to compeed on sunday + bad weather announced for sunday so...

I also closed the batteryslots on my X10 before, but did this with two-component-epoxy. This gave me a lot of sanding work, and maybe was not as nice looking as the carbon but is a much better fit, and this closed ALL unnescesary holes in the chassis.

my X10:

So in future I guess I will choose for my own method and not the carbon solution.

Anyway, So I decided to install the carbon straps ... and after this job, began on my schoolwork ... and got to bed around 04.30 am.
MyGod, today is gonna be a looong day :cry:

mine stick out between 0.5 and 1.0 mm above the chassis (on the inside).
I'll post a picture later on.

Strange tough. I can't imaging the X11-chassis having different battery-slots as they are all made from the same mould, I should think.
