Lipo Conversion for 94 YZ10?

Post by jaro »

Hi,

I have a 94 YZ10 that I'm putting back together and plan to race. And was wondering if their was a fix or trays for fitting lipos into the car.

Thanks

I can't speak directly for the '94, as I have yet to convert mine to lipo, but I have seen others use B44 lipo trays on vintage 4wd buggies (Schumi CATs, YZ10s etc.). You can try that. I did convert my 870c to lipo, and all I really did was take some carbon fiber bits and glue them to the chassis with my saddle packs as a template for positioning.

Thanks for the replies guys, all helpful as ever with this forum. I'm still in early stages of planning with this car, so I may approach Fibrelyte about getting some done.

Those are trays from the 44.1. That also works, but you have to put the middle bit in the right spot. The 44.0 tray was a single carbon fiber tray with two open squares, connected by a bridge piece. You could get a 44.0 tray and cut across the bridge piece to make two separate trays.
