870C is almost done without a few parts like the white bulkhead caps and wheel hubs. this build is from the parts.

Hotdog4 from YR4 and works bits.

put RC10 battery cups and it looks great to me
the loftovers

That's not a hotdog manual is it? I've been searching high and low! I know the yr4 is similar but im looking for the right manual!

the manual is YR4 as you can see. I'll check my friends in Korea

pdf manual has sent to your email address. do you want the hard copy?

THANK YOU! I'm very happy to finally have it!

Me too

forgot to tell about the clearance between the belt and the shorty battery.
I put 1mm spacers under the tensioners and it still has only 1mm clearance between them. I'm thinking replacing the battery straps to epoxy or graphite. epoxy would be nice with the white battery cups

Mount the holders upside down and make holes in the bottom for the plugs. Then your cell will drop another mm and you don't need straps at all.

it might work. but I'd take a cool looking. thanks for the idea though

cut the bottoms outta the holders and it'll drop you another 1mm. 2mm is still a lil too close for my tastes though but it does look good so far.

though about it too. but I'm not sure if it's strong enough for running. or I can simply buy a thin shorty battery

On my yr4 I put the shorty in the length: so the belt doesn't run over it. I'll try to make a picture later today.

thanks in advance
