So which do you perfer or are running?

Uroplatus · 05-11-2009, 09:38 AM

I put mine on the front upper control arms... get the weight to the front, but keep it low too!

crawlinlosi · 05-11-2009, 10:55 AM

I have mine on the rear axle but simply because I dont have room on the front servo because of the way I have my body slammed.

bigflex · 05-11-2009, 11:05 AM

I'm running mine on the rear upper link. I didn't flip the tranny and I have a full size servo so there was no way to get it up front. I put the esc and BEC up front instead.

It is well ballanced and hasn't let me down yet.

redbaron · 05-11-2009, 11:25 AM

I always run my battery up front. On my Evo, I'm running my new battery on the upper links. With my older battery, I ran in on top of the servo.

chetly · 05-11-2009, 11:47 AM

Like some others here, I dint have tranny flipped cause of the Darksoul chassis mounting doesn't allow of that. So i'm running battery on rear upper links.

MTHead · 05-11-2009, 12:35 PM

Up front, above the drive shaft, between the links..

That is were I was thinking of running mine since the batterys I got are really small. Just have to make a plate for it.

T-buck · 05-11-2009, 03:18 PM

Also the rear upper links, 645mg & full weights on the rims up front keep everything "even-d out"

fordwheeler · 05-11-2009, 05:48 PM

i got my thunder power 1320mah mounted on the servo, works good for me so far

soundcolor · 05-11-2009, 06:23 PM

split, 2 cells on each front corner, with 2 in center of chassis

Mini · 05-11-2009, 06:40 PM

Am gonna be going with vanquish 1.9 comps. so were I put my battery is very important.

4VRYNG · 05-11-2009, 06:47 PM

Flipped tranny, full size servo and still stuffed a 1350mah 2-cell lipo on front upper links.

soundcolor · 05-11-2009, 07:11 PM

If your getting a front 4 link/servo plate, most of em have room for either electronics on the plate, or batteries. I'm going with batteries on mine, 2 cells each side, and will either mount the other 2 center, or on the rear axle. Depends on where I can fit the electronics.

rccrawlerguy · 05-11-2009, 07:33 PM

i have my electronics on the 3links and my batt on the rear that may change when i get my mixer chassis

Mini · 05-18-2009, 01:57 PM

made bracket to mount up front behind servo. gonna be mounting the reciver on rear four link.

Mr Glassman · 05-19-2009, 07:48 AM

Up front for me! A 600 mah 2cell lipo fits well!

Mini · 05-19-2009, 07:52 AM

Good thing is the battery's I have are small and thin got 2 500 lipo's from flight check and 2 stock battery's, the stock battery's what am a little worried about were I place them.

bigflex · 05-19-2009, 07:59 AM

I weighed my esc and my batteries last night and the esc weighs more so I think having it up front is bettery in my situation. I am only running a 900mah 2s lipo but I am using an old Rooster crawler I had laying arround. I know I know that thing is huge, but it has lipo cutoff built in and I don't care enough about the 1.9 to spend $100 on an FXR for it.

That and I am running Anger Inc. Progress wheels so I can adjust the weight however I need to.

toyw/me · 05-19-2009, 10:03 AM

Split pack, 3 cells next to the servo and 3 cells on front upper links.
