Calling all... Hands Bro's CMS

[801RYAN]

hey guys got a new Hncho and installed the Hands bros CMS and was wondering what you all are doing for stick batterys and mounting batterys

please post a pic so I can see what my options are ....I was planning on running a stick pack till I can upgrade chargers and batterys

[sloyota]

gonna start on it today..
im gonna modify the battery plate,cut it around the Hand Bros setup, screw it down so i can mount two of my lipos,one for the truck and the other to run my winch and my Axial light system.no photos yet,i try to post some up when im done..

Thanks warfile thats a great option for when I swith to lipos but ...


is there a cure for stick packs???????

[miniwheeler]

Heres one i made for my Honcho It has plenty of options for lipos IMO ditch the stick pack, this setup looks better and has better CG than stock. If you are someone who doesnt want to jump into lipos just yet you still have options like a nice 2/3a or 4/5a pack can fit no problem

For my scx10 kit, I did this and it fits my lipo's or any 6cell stick pack.

Zipties and velcro forever

here's my combo battery tray, body mount.

I used velcro on my servo and on the side of my lipo and used the stock velcro strap to secure the front which worked out really well for being a on the fly mod while trailing.

Thanks for all the replys and pics guys I do understand that the lipo is the way to go and will move that direction in a couple of months But for now this is what I came up with ....

After installing a Hand Bros kit in the front and a 4 link in the rear I had some leftover parts... I mounted the battery tray per instuctions for the middle supports and then I used the 7x20mm post left over from the rear 3 link and used that to come off the frame to a ball end then used the stock 6x33mm drag link thru the ball end to the battery tray.. The plastic tray is flexed/bent up a litte but the aluminum battery tray helps suppot it well .I also installed the velcro to go around the plastic parts of the tray mount..Imo this supports the battery well enough for what I plan on using the truck for ..(no Jumping lol) Heres a pic Thanks agian guys

Holy high CG Batman! You should move your electronics box to the back and then you can get that stick pack on its side next to the servo. The most you might have to buy is a servo extender.

mount it on the passenger side slider. cog will be really low and it will help a lot with torque twist. thats what i think im going to try next

I strapped mine to the top of the radio box, not the greatest for COG but itwas quick and worked better than being on the back of the chassis. Gives a pretty realistic COG for a lifted full size truck though, so I'm okay with it.
