noob quesion about battery fitment

[Shaun_TLR]

hi. my TLR 22 roling chasis has arrived this morning, and I guess its just straightoutta the box setup (via ebay). Im wanting to run saddle packs to give me some more room to run mid motor, but theres a housing bar to fit a standard size lipo one end, and the other end (where the motor would go if mid mounted) its not tall enough to get the saddle pack underneath.

could someone help a noob please? Ive posted a pic of the issue !! lol

my questions is, how do I setup this up (or what parts do I need I guess) to run saddle packs with mid motor.

Mid motor parts are on the way, but as the saddle packs are taller, they wont fit under the fitment near the rear shock tower?

The front battery bar, turn it round 180•
Then the saddles will fit side by side

They still dont quite fit in? Ive got the zippy 5700 packs

Will they fit once it goes mid motor?

I think this is the most commonly asked question on 22's. This car is a nightmare to get electrics in to - I bit the bullet and bought short lipo's like the car was intended to run.

Not sure on the Zippy lipo's, but I had Orca saddles and they were way to big, sold them and bought Losi saddles but realsied to run them properly I would have to cut the side pods to fit - good luck mate

Looks like these might be too big, so I guess ill just have to cut the side pods

He wants to run the car Mid Motor, so rotate the front battery brace 180, then the height of the saddle shouldn't be an issue !!!

I'm thinking the batterys running side by side is going to be best. It won't fit under the rear bulkhead area even with trimming it, they are just too tall - and anyway, the motor will be sitting there in a few days. ill prob wait until all the parts are here and see if I have any issues - and if so il post my issues here
