I noticed when I ran the rs pro in my bmax, that the speedo got hotter than other speedies eg. lrp, novak.

I think maybe you could even reverse the direction of your speedy by 180, and put a fan facing the post.

No problems with thermaling, yet. I've been working on a graphite fan mount, just in case there's a problem later. It will place the fan over the esc and posts.

I just finished putting mine in, what a bloody nightmare.

First of all Had a new muchmore fleta 3.0, took it out the box, didnt bloody work. got the old speed passion 2.0 in there...just but its too tight. thinking of just getting a refund and getting a tekin

Are you sure your setting it up right, cant understand that it wont work, if thats the case your just unlucky, if you take the speedo back to the shop i'll have a look and test it.

Hi guys,
this is my new Durango, I just drive for fun, and I love this car. It is fast, stable and precise. The shocks are really good, the body looks really like a fish, like someone said on the Oople review, that is why I tried to make a fishbone shaped batteryholder.
Anyway, I run 84 spur, 22 pinion with a CC 5700 motor, I got the Losi super duty ball cups and D4-associated balls with Tamya and Takeoff pacer(shims).
Thank you have a great 2010 all of you.

[fastinfastout]

any chance you could take a pic of the battery post, particular the rears?

and do you have any part numbers? that looks like a good idea! no more taking out the spur for a battery change

I have those orion packs but have not tried fitting it on yet.

is that a custom made carbon battery holder?

[footey]

recon you still need to take spur out as wont clear the chassie without hitting the shaft

Thank you, Fastinfastout.
I made the batt.holder from a 5mm carbonplate with a dremel and a diamond disc. As you can see on the picture I used some Integy 3cm alu spacer for the emaxx bulkhead(I dont remember the part n. but I can find it for you), then I cut them the size I needed, and on the two in the rear I put some heatshrink for vibration.




With the Orion lipos, if you want, you can use the stock Durango holder, like I did in the beginning but then you have to put two 0,5mm spacer under the 320001 , you need also to dremel off a bit of material so that the slipper nut doesnt touch the lipo holder-stopper, 320001 and two 0,5mm spacer under the ring 310039, here you can put also a bit of foam between the two spacer like I did on the picture. It works for me, I hope it will work for you too. I hope I could explain myself, my english is not so good.

Here is the stock battery holder, which I sanded off a bit.

Here are the pics from the stock battery holder and the ring diff-holder



Sorry for the quality, but my Iphone doesnt make god picture in the night.

[Takes2home]

Fastinfastout i forgott to mention that for the rear post you need to change the rear bulkhead stock screws with a 30mm long screws so that you can screw the alu post on it.
Ciao

[fastinfastout]

thanks for going to the trouble with the pics

seems more involved than what I thought.

I will just shim the spur holder and shave the battery holder until the orions fit.

What battery packs fit in this? I am looking at the Robitronic 4600 35C saddle packs. I know the Dark series from Trakpower fit but they are not yet BRCA legal. Any other BRCA legal packs that fit?

I've decided on a Tekin RS pro and Speed Passion V3 7.5T motor, Savox SC1258.
