Lipo xx4....

[ashleyb4]

Hi Guys

Ive managed to easily fit a 3200 trakpower saddle in my xx4 and also bring the car back up to full nimh weight i weighed my eastpower 4500 cells and they weighed 425 grams so the lipo weighs 202 grams so ive added around 220 grams in lead....













I made the battery straps as tempory ones until i can get a pro pair made. And i can move the weight and lipo forwards and backwards to allow for diffrent weight distribution like with nimh.

Also fitted the cr rear end while i was at it to give it a go.

Are you sure those straps are going to hold them on heavy landings, etc, i can see the batteries shifting. I might also be tempted to wire the batteries the other way round so the link wire is at the back to keep it away from the servo horn.

Well I know it's offtopic to LiPo, but how you fitted that CR rear end? My last attempt was fail due cvds falling off diff outdrives

Middle hole on wishbone for shock otherwise you get too much droop. You also have to file off the inner edge of the caster block or on full compression the camber link will pop off.

What i want to do when i get my new pack is to heat shrink the piece of lead between the cell and the belt tunnel ill re heat shrink the pack and put the lead inside the heat shrink then velcro the cell to the belt tunnel A minute of genious at college lol.

Do I have to use steel diff outdrives (which part number?)? I have plastic one with steel saver on it and it looks like can cause binding.
