battery position

[hzhang92]

Need help!

I wanna lower the center of gravity of MRC, thinking about to put the battery on servo or between servo and motor.
I need some advices.
Thanks a lot.

What battery are you using? Stock nimh? If so id mount it on the upper 3 link bar. If you're running a small lipo then either would be fine. Its always gonna be a general personal preference along with what works best on your specific setup. I run on the upper link on one mrc, next to the servo on another, and my favorite place is the rear axle. All I run is 800mah 2s lipo so they're small and don't have allot of weight to them. Plus I have my wheels weighted so running on the back isn't an issue.

Here's what I use.. It keeps the COG low and more weight on the front

BWD Servo Mount/Battery Mount

When I first bought my Losi MRC RTR I moved the NiMh battery to the top of the servo,I attached it with some velcro. It made a big difference in the centre of gravity.
I now have a pro and have put a Lipo battery in between the servo and motor instead of on top of the servo.
You are better off with it on the servo performance wise,I just didn`t like the look of it on the servo with the pro. It still performs well with it there,just not as good.

yea, I try to put battery on the upperlink, but ends up the the battery is little bit bigger than the space between upper link and shocks. I do have a stock battery, thinking about to get a 2s lipo.
Thanks for your advice.

Yes, MRC is my first crawler truck, So, I'm a newbie. lol
How u put battery between servo and motor? Do you have enough space? I tried to do that, but ends up not enough space. Did you put any mods to make it work?

Thanks a lot.

You need 30+ posts (in the tech sections) as well as 30+ days as a member.

Or, buy a star for $20.

I made a plate that bolts to servo mount. and my batt sits behind servo and above upperlinks so the weight is on the front axle. I just run 800 2s batteries
