I actually have a tiny bit I could have gone bigger before hitting servo mount. That was more a function of the one cup I already had that had the end cut off and it's length not some grand plan. But this is a 5000maH 2S hardcase lipo big enough for anything I would do with this car.
My biggest problem was starting with two cups of different quality and color. After being peroxide for a day now they are blending together very nice.
Was happy to find out today that the cheapo DuraDtrax battery I got over at Tower (LXYPP7) does in fact fit sideways if you cut the plastic junk off. Thought this info might be appreciated by those of you trying to get a resistor-speed-control rig together. And of course, any excuse for a picture.
Lol at the battery straps hastily put on backwards, etc..
you can Drill, countersink, cut servo tabs and mount servo with forward mount only + servo tape - it takes 5mns, you just need a drill and a countersinking bit, it doesn't have to be super accurate, heck, even I with my 2 left hands did it properly
your custom battery case looks cool though

Hey guys, going through my inventory, I found one and a half sets of my shorty battery cups and straps. I ordered another cup so now I have two complete sets for sale. If you're not familiar with these, you can check the thread here...

What kind of electronics are you running? Depending on the answer, you may be able to move up to a Lipo setup, which is sooooo much more fun. I went to Ni-mH which was much better than Ni-Cad but even with a Ni-mH 8.4V vs. a Lipo 7.4V, the Lipo was...
I have a vintage gold pan and have seen many of you that have the battery placement in line with the body - not sideways like in the directions. Does this make a difference ?? Is that set up for racing - off road or what ???
Are there any options for the front battery cup? The stock one works but it's an extremely tight fit. It's also a bit tall and interfering with my hardcase LiPo. I may just get a stock replacement and cut it down but was wondering if there were...

Thanks.
With the modern hard case LiPos it definitely is not a direct fit. The washer is the obvious solution, I did not try that yet, I am also aware of the need to shorten the cup, BUT I believe the cup balancing on just 2 washers with an ESC on...
I'm missing the bars that slip onto the tops of the battery cups, that hold the pack in place.
I have some white polystyrene sheets thick enough to use as a replacement. Instead of hunting the original parts on eBay, and spend money...

it only seems right that you're talking about me, being as though i'm the only mod that has said anything to you in your short time here. since that's the case, i can make it so you don't have to deal with me anymore. just say the word.
Please forgive my ignorance, I am a Losi guy.
I have some people asking for a modern battery cup option like I made for the JRX graphite chassis models. One that holds extra wires.
So I got a RC10 Gold Pan. It is an A stamp. I also got a RC10T with...

They are up for sale now. The Basic model actually weighs a little less than the standard Associated cup with all its parts. Price starts at $7.59 for the Basic.

Im cleaning up my original rc10 buggy. The battery trays are mounted side to side and i would like to keep it that way so i can run the original mechanical speed control. Problem is none of my stick packs fit. I had a junk 6 cell so i opened it up...

you would eventually damage the MSC, simply due to the fact that the lipo will likely have a much longer run time, resulting in overheating the resistors. they get smokin' hot running for 4-8 minutes, much longer and the parts will start to degrade.
Is there one? I got the one that was recommended in my thread, and I'm having to make some way to hold it in, because I eventually BUTCHERED my box until there was nothing left but the sides :(

OK, thank you
I am looking at battery straps now! I like that idea
