Keeping it front and low! How front are you running it?

Even better yet keep it centered and low. The lower the better period, and the lowest place you can put it is between the wheels near the transmission.

I temporarily zip tied two 3s 2100 LiPo's to each of muh plastic slider(s) on muh Honcho. Took 'er out to my rock garden in the yard... for some testing and was immediately impressed with how much better it rolled thru the rock garden. ^ ummm... well... more like house sized boulders if they were scaled to the truck. Even attempted to get 'er tippy... and was impressed with how far she would go... before it became a flop. Granted I have tire weights on all four... and a 55T mtr for slow speed and smoother/linear torque. I like how my dual battery set up handles better then muh single 2s 5000 in the stock forward position. Less tippy for sure ! Think I'll be making some permanent battery mounts on the slider rails. ------------------------- edit: 'cause pictars make it more better... well... unless yer a hater !? a shelf queen it is not ! Lol Here you can see the phenomenal zip tie arrangement ^ maybe not purdy... but 'dem batteries stay'd put. (* I used some non slip rubber like material under the batteries wuz just layed on top of the slider bars) ----------------- my rock garden test facility... (pics previous to this run) during this test... flooded the whole side patio, to up the challenge some... didn't take pics of the splashin' good time tho' Regardless... the RipSaws ignored the wet. Didn't think much of the muddy patches neither. Last edited by TacoCrawler; 07-19-2013 at 07:17 PM. |

When I was running a 3000 nimh stick I had it crosswise right behind the trans. That was way better than the stock front position. Now I'm running a 2s 5100 lipo saddle pack, and have them mounted one on top of each slider. Works great!

This is where I run my battery on my Rubicon, I'm going to do something similar with the Honcho. |
