TRF201 Lipo strap

[Fredrik Emilsson]

Ok, so now I´ve had time to work some on a new overdesigned...thing...

It´s another carbon battery strap for the TRF201.
One thing that´s different about this strap is the weight, or should I say weights.
The carbon strap weighs ~9.5 grams.

In addition to that you can add 6 brass weights. The small weights weigh ~12 grams. The large weights ~15 grams.
So you can choose what weights you want and where to add them.

When all weights are added the strap weighs ~87 grams. Each weight is secured with a countersunk screw. The weights are of course shaped like the holes in the strap. Gives them no chance to move sideways.

Overdesigned? Yes. Unique? Probably. And that is, in my opinion, a classic Tamiya inspired design.

Note! Prototype parts.







Final product will have weight and logo engraved. Note that "my" T-star logo might be replaced with different one...

for the design Fredrik! What a pitty i ordered my Rudebits 2 weeks ago but i will recommend this pretty design to everyone i know! Respect to you technical cleverness!

[Fredrik Emilsson]

RudeBits parts do the job. You will like those parts.

But I thank you for your compliment Johannes!.

I just like to do things in a different way. Sometimes good (diffcovers?), sometimes just different?

In this case my first thought was "why do you always have to choose light or heavy?" Why not have options? Now I have lots of options, too many maybe?
Also a plus if parts does´nt look too bad.

Once again a superb part Fredrik!

[AaronR]

Awesome! When will it be available?

[Fredrik Emilsson]

Thanks!

I´ve updated first post with one more pic. Will see what logo will be on it.
You will probably be able to buy the weights seperate. So not a must to buy them. Just an option.

Looks good, very funky solution!

The "T" works for me too!

What's your estimate on when they'll be ready?

[Rich D]

Clever and looks professionally made. Impressed !

[wildwillydriver]

Great design and smart solution!
Hope to see them ready soon fo sale!
My TRF is nearly ready and i think will love it.

Bye

Have you got the Strap and weights ready Fredrik? I´d like to buy one set

[Fredrik Emilsson]

Hi Johannes,
Soon, don´t have price yet for the weights. Too much work right now...
Sorry about that.

[muratti]

[JoeGlover]

I need a link to where these are available. I was on the rudebits website and it doesn't show this piece

[Jan Larsen]

Thats because it isnt Rudebits thats producing these. It should be quite obvious who it is...
