B44 LipoHi,

[Teaboy]

Hi,

Im being a dull returner to the sport here. I have picked up a cheap B44 with the Lipo conversion, however my Orion Lipos are too tall by loads. Is there a set of taller battery posts you need, i cant find reference to them anywhere, or are my Lipos no good for a B44. The Lipos are Orion 6000's and are new.

Looking at them they do seem taller than my stick packs so i guess its down to batterys and car are not compatible but it would be nice to get them to fit.

Cheers

Rich

hey,

Just raise the battery posts. Put some washers between the post and the chassis. You might need longer screws.

As Mick says, you can just space up the battery posts.

One thing though, are you cells these (http://www.teamorion.com/carbon-mole...-en-2-3.html)? If so they do appear quite tall and if you plan to 'go racing' then just be aware they are not on the BRCA approved list. I suspect this is due to the height exceeding the maximum dimension.

Just watch out for the space under the side pods, there isn't alot of room under there anyway.

Ive got the same problem with my IP5400 lipos, but was just gonna use longer grub screws in the top of the posts..............

When I had my old trakpowers in my B44 I had to space the posts out like Phil said.
It'll all fit but you'll have to check your connectors - if using corrally style then the wire can't just come out of the top as you won't fit the shell on easily.
you at club tomorrow? we can take a look at it then for you if you want

dont suppose you have a link for them corally style side mounted plugs so wire goes into plug into the side then soldered instead of coming up and out of the plug...........???
