NiMH in CAT SX LiPo

[Oliv996]

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.........

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

Fantastic job, Oliv
