Wanted Bully V1 Battery mount behind the front motor

[DiKey]

Does anyone know where can I get a battery mount to fit bully axles-gearbox?
I used to play with big batteries so I need something strong.

Thanks

For the bigger batteries I found the chassis battery mount, like the t1e ss chassis, work a bit better and have more room. I could fit a 1300mah in there with outboarded upper links up front.

Unfortunately I don't want to buy a chassis right now because I have chaotic switch carbon.I can run smaller batteries if it's necessary.Do you have any suggestion?
I have seen Rowdy Racing mount behind the axle but I think it is more a mount for electronics than for batteries.

What's really the difference between sticking a battery on the Rowdy plate versus sticking an esc/rx bundle?

There is enough room in the cases that you can drill two holes and bolt a piece of carbon, delrin or G10.

It's like a cavern in there. Enough room to double nut the inside if needed.

I think it's a little narrow mount for a battery.

The vendor support was limited on these axles. They mostly appealed to guys that like to make stuff their own way.

there is lots of room in them gear cases that you can drill holes in it and cut a piece of some material to make your own mount. here are a few pictures as to where to drill.

There is a TON of material that can be removed to save weight on these axles. the tubes alone can be drilled out to 3/8". I drilled out the short side tube on the super bully axle and it took off 10 grams just off the short side. the long side of the super bully would be more. the weight saving wouldn't be as great on the regular bully axle but still a great deal.

Thanks for the pictures. Maybe I'll give it a try to make a mount.Also,maybe buy a RR battery mount.Which will be fit better to bully,xr or berg version?

Not sure, I have never owned a V1 Bully.

As you told me,a lot of people use your mounts to bullies.Which do they use?Also many people with super bullies use these battery mounts.Bully 2.2 and Super have the same gearboxes.

I think the xr flipped upside down was most popular on bullies, maybe someone with experience will chime in.

If this fits without problems I want to buy one with slots.Can you be sure about that?

If you are drilling holes in the gear case to mount the mount any mount will work as long as it fits between your links and don't hang down to low. Find out the dimensions of the mounts and cut a piece of cardboard that size and tape it in place to make sure you have enough room and nothing hits or binds.

I made a battery mount. This is a piece of aluminum,actually two pieces. I tried to make one piece mount but it broke and became two. I drilled two holes to the gearbox and place the mount.

Thanks for the idea.
