JRX2 Battery won't fit

Post by top cat mike »

Trying to finish up a JRX2 runner and I am having a problem fitting a batter in the space provided. I have a mamba max that I want to use along with a lipo battery and I have hit a snag. Unfortunately the battery won't fit. Am I best off using a battery strap or should I just lather the dang thing up with Vaseline and jam it in there? Just kidding about the Vaseline!

don't jam it in there dry!!!!

seriously though, the battery space is tight for a normal Nicd pack, so a battery strap or some other custom retainer is probably your best bet.

Try a JRXpro battery box/strap, my lipos fit just fine. See here:

Correct the problem I am having is the length of the battery.

I've always used an RC10 cup held down with good servo tape. Hasn't failed me yet.

thats a big battery, i have one and it's the only batt i have that doesn't fit the x2, it's too tall to fit in the rear cup.
it barley fits in my 10t and rc10ce.
