Does anyone know if the Ultima RB6 battery strap will fit the original RC-10 battery cups? I really want to replace the plastic straps and I need something small to fit a shorty pack.

Not sure if the kyosho are compatible but if you need something special made I can help. I have lots of options, just let me know your goal. I’m NOT a fan of carbon for the battery strap but I’ll make em (G10 is an insulator and much safer)
This one is popular, and I have it in a shorter length.

What I wish I had was the Jconcepts Foxy, the only ones available now are for the B5 and looks too big to fit the RC-10. It doesn’t have to be graphite, fiberglass or G10 would work. I’d reall like two. If this is something you could easily fabricate I would love to pay you for it, as long at it is not too expensive...

Something like this?
More of a ghost face theme than a fox

That looks awesome, I’m just worried that it may be too long? In fact too short would be better. Ideally for me overall length would be 2.5” or shorter.

I made it the same length as a shorty pack in the cup but you probably don’t want it to tuck into the bulkhead...i hadn’t considered that. I can make it any length you want

2.5” overall would be perfect, any face will work

if you are going to toss the one you made I could totally use it on my B4.2? I’m currently using the graphite Team Factory one at the moment...
Beautiful work! Do you work for a Factory Works?

Yeah Kelly is “local” to me, and one heck of a nice guy. He bleeds USA and does stuff the old way. I love visiting and hearing about the old days
