Default Battery Strap Screws
Hi,

Just got me a 1009 Saddle Pack Chassis for my X6!
Really happy so far, very neat job
However, I must be being a bit thick, as I can't get any screws to fit the mounting holes for the lipo, that are 4-40 in size, they are all miles too loose/small to be a tight fit in the holes!!!

Am I missing something?

Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,

The 4 battery strap mounting locations are only threaded from about half way down and do use very long (1" +) screws (or threaded rod) to hold down the strap. If you are only putting a 3/8" or 1/2" screw down into the hole you will not find any thread at that depth. This was done so that you were not screwing a sufficient screw in miles and miles to make it a secure hold on the cells... (if that makes sense)

The "Real Men Wear Black" XF1226 Battery Stand Off kit is ideal for this very job....
