X5 Lipo

[tjf]

Not sure if this is on here but whats the fitment of a 3200 saddle lipo like on an x5 as I'd like to know before I buy one. I ask this as its designed to take 4 and 2 cells.

Thanks

Seen like this one has 3x3 nimh cells in could be set the same as that with some BJ4 posts and straps to hold the lipo in?

The X5 will take a stick pack down the right side of the car with minor mods or take saddles with even less mods (almost none) in near stock positions. The space on the slipper side is big enough to take 1 saddle and the other obviously fits where 4 would usually. To ballast it it needs a little weight on the nonmotor side so I've used a taped up single cell for ballast at the back of the 4 cells side, with the saddle in front.

I've got some pics at home which PM me your email address and I'll send you tonight.

If it's the only things stopping buying an X5 you need not worry

A bit like this:

It usually has a piece of foam to take up the gap on the 4 cell side to stop the pack from moving about.

The 2 cell side is just held in with a small cable tie and a hole has been drilled in the back of the chassis.

Yeah mine was just done on the sunday at worksop and they weren't my cells or battery strap, but it worked
