I forgot to add... Here is my runner project with a lipo installed:



I did move the battery cup forward, but no mods to the rear cup on bulkhead.

The guy that did those, his name is Lee Morrison. He is out of Indiana. Don't know if he is still around, but he had a little motor lab in the back of a hobby shop. Anyway, Wimpy motors was the name of the motors, and he also did batteries called GonZo Batteries. They also came in Modified winds.

DUUUDE! Chicago? Really?

Doug Carter ended up getting me some of the Wimpy motors, thanks though!

and I have no idea why I cant get any of my LiPo's to fit, is the TP you have a 4300 mah? All my LiPo's are 5000+ and 25mm tall, I'm thinking without having one that the small mah LiPo's are not as tall, like 23mm maybe?

That is a 5300mah.

I guess some updates are better than no updates....

I'm finally figuring out my battery fitment issues on my brother in laws graphite car, and now I've run into a small issue with my electronics choice. in the first few pics (graphite car) I'm trying to fit the Novak edge ESC on this chassis. I wasn't aware this cassis was as narrow as it was till I tried test fitting electronics on it.

I'm looking to get opinions on the lesser of the three evils. No matter what I do a few millimeters of the esc will hang off the end of the chassis. Should I have the battery/capacitor and on/off switch tabs off the end, or should I hang the sensor and motor wires off the side?

Or are you guys seeing something completely different that I'm not seeing?????

the last few pics are of my gold pan I'm slowly but surely finishing as well:)

Click pics for much larger image

I lost my interest after 3!

I'll agree with Rod...s l o w...and I do have a fast connection.

Get an old school shelf above the battery from the rear shock tower, mount it on there. Use the excuse that it keeps the weight centered better.

Sorry, I have a good camera lol

So for a shelf, being you can find a purpose built one, would a small piece of lexan work....I can safely assume

maybe some really thick lexan. "body" lexan would be too thin. kydex would be best. I will see if I can shoot a picture of the couple I have in my parts box.
