XX4 stick or saddle pack lipo

[Rob_B]

Just got my self a xx4 for playing with looking at running it on sunday at southport, it has the original one peice chassis. The previous owner was running a stick pack. As i run a bmax i only have saddles didnt really want to invest in another pack of lipos. Would it be possible to make the car compatible for saddles, i was looking at putting battery parts from a b44 including the carbon straps in the xx4 but i would have the to drill the chassis to accomadate the posts. Is there an easier option i could do?

Couldn't you run your saddle packs one in front of the other in the slot for the stick?

Possibly jon but i only have the standard plastic strap from the xx4 and it would only hold one pack.

The car was designed originally to run saddles so why not get the original battery strap set and use that. Its much cheaper/simpler than new lipos or bodging B44 parts.

In fact, I've got a spare set, come to Bury instead and I'll fit them for you!

Get B4 baterry strap and modify it slightly - that's what I've used when I've been running XX4 with stick packs.

Not very clear from this pic but the car is running gold trakpower saddles

All thats needed is the two posts on the outside (which you should have, they are also the bodymounts) and the two black clamps (of which I have spares. The other end slots into the chassis.

And yes in the picture the car has super wide wishbones and truck wheels. I ran it at Bury's indoor series as a sort of 4wd truck.
