Lipo Tray for 511 by RudeBits

[RudeTony]

Hi all

The long awaited Lipo holder from RudeBits is on the machinery and being made as we speak.
The Lipo Holder will come in 5 parts and is adjustable for weight - Good eh!!
3 needed all the time and will have a weight of 40g.
Add another in the centre and then all adds up to 58g
Add the last part and now all adds up to 76g total with all 5 parts fitted.
A cut out on the centre weights can be seen and is for the belt to run by.
Also one of the 3 centre weights is tapped so it can be screwed on and off for quick interchange of weights and set up.
The other 2 have just holes - OK your thinking which is good!!!!
Price will be £27.50 plus PP

Thats all folks - cheers all

Im definately having a set. Looks superb. Nice work Tony.

Looks good. Does it allow the lipos to sit further away from the bulkhead to avoid dremeling the lovely shiny blueness away?

Don´t think so. They are shaped like the Tamiya tray(s) = battery in "standard" position.You use the "undertray screws" to attach them.

How would these do on a 501x, I've not seen a 511 in the flesh so dont know how different the battery locations are. I dont mind if I have to do a bit of work with the dremel on either the car or the tray.

If the rudebits is identical in shape to that of the original Tamiya trays, then the rear will not fit, as judging from this pic from http://kentech.blogs.se the rear attaches to a part of the frame that TRF501 does not have, at least that part behind the rear battery post seems a lot smaller/shorter than on the TRF511 when looking at my TRF501 (so I think that the rear screw would attach to "empty" space).



I myself bought the TRF501 lipo trays (made of carbon fibre) from Fredrik Emilsson. Being carbon fibre, I'll just use extra weights if needed.
