Shorty Pack in a Tub. My idea from an old T Bar.

Post by Y'ernat Al »

I'm building up a ce sleeper and came up with a shorty pack mount, adjustable to either up aganinst the steering servo, or back a bit. Either way I plan on taping down the speedo in line behind it. Began with an old t bar...

Then using a battery strap to trace, a drill press, a hack saw and some filing, and a couple of chopped up old nylon blocks...

Pretty neat.

Instead of the screwed on blocks, how about gluing scraps of fiberglass to both sides. Two small pieces at either end on one side, and one larger piece at the back end on the other side. Then when you want to position the battery forward or back you just have to flip over the battery brace.

Thats an idea, as long as both cap heads have holes in them. Imo I don't think thin catches would keep the battery in. There is a bit of flex to the system and hard hits may not keep it from sliding front to back. Might work, but the battery is the major thing (Newton would argue) that is going to keep going if the car changes it's "direction" drastically 8)
