I run the axial low cog battery servo/mount on my ax-10 and the battery has come apart like 3 times. so where do you guys mount ur batts or is there a fix for my problem?Help would be nice

Dont know what you meen by your battery coming apart.

You may want to try a li-po battery. I have the same low CG mount and all i need to keep the battery in place is velcro(hook&loop)

I am probably one of the few that have saddle packs mounted out back. I have PLENTY of weight up front though.

How/why are your packs coming apart? Do you mean coming loose during runs?

montana.matt · 05-25-2008, 06:05 PM

I run an 8 cell split pack on my front axles, the packs are mounted on battery plates from The Crawler Store with zip ties

Hotrodvw · 05-25-2008, 11:59 PM

Ditto.......run them on the front axle.

life_livin · 05-26-2008, 01:03 AM

how much in all the battery pack and the mounts from the craler store cost?

wfomkivdrvr · 05-26-2008, 01:24 AM

some pictures of your setup my help to understand your problem better!

I run a 7 cell split pack on my front axle on home made plates no problems. Same as Hotrodvw setup above.

Hotrodvw · 05-26-2008, 08:32 AM

I'm not using any plates. I screwed the velcro straps right to the top of the axle. I think I paid about $35.00 for this battery from CBP.com.

life_livin · 05-26-2008, 10:43 AM

Umm i cant really get you guys a pick but ill kinda try.

life_livin · 05-26-2008, 10:54 AM

yotachump · 05-26-2008, 10:56 AM

Heat shrink tubing, and practice on the soldering. I usually tack my battery's together with CA glue first,then solder the bars on then heat shrink.

Hotrodvw · 05-26-2008, 10:57 AM

Solder your pack back together, and use GOOP to glue the cells together in the valleys where they meet.

life_livin · 05-26-2008, 11:04 AM

I was refering to him using the lipo front plate for a split pack instead of using the center servo mount and splitting the packs as in the picture you posted above. I made plates for my 7 cell split packs & you attached your velcro straps to the axle no plates. I assumed he was asking how you mounted (used) your battery packs!

life_livin · 05-26-2008, 02:39 PM

hotrod i meant what do you use to mount your rx and esc

Hotrodvw · 05-26-2008, 04:36 PM

That would be my stock battery mounting plate, and the U shaped brackets that mouted it to the chassis. I cut it in half, and mouted the rec. and esc to each side. Here's a bit of a better picture.

life_livin · 05-26-2008, 04:56 PM

i will be doing this!!I am going to order the crawlerstores battery 8 cell split and just screw down the straps.
