Default 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?

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.

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.

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

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.
