LiPo Battery Weight

[johnnyboy]

Finally got my project done! Made them out of 304 Stainless Steel, grinded and de-burred the edges and put a sweet finish on them. Made them at 4.5 oz (you can trim some off to fine tune the weight to your liking). They are the same footprint of the Orion LiPo packs. Keeps the weight where it is supposed to be, in the battery box (and keeps the CG nice and low)!

Thats nice, does it make it weigh just as much as a Ni-Mh pack?

Hi Johnny,
Neat solution, what is the thickness of the stainless material ?
Does the battery holder piece still fits at the rear ( as Lipo is slightly thicker vs cells?
Cheers
