Battery Placement

[twisted]

i see alot of people using 2/3 A size packs for comps but for a trail rig i want to use a sub c pack. my dilemma is i don't like putting the pack on the links or the axles as it looks like crap imo. iam making a chassis rite now and the pack placement is holding me up. any ideas ?

heres a link to my chassis...

it looks good on the links, IMO.

you could hang them off the side. these were in mockup


and this is the finished rig



worked pretty well. i used some industrial velcro to hold them in place.. nice and low for the CG and hidden under the body pretty well. never hung up on anything either

I know you said you wanted to go with a sub0c pack, but using the smaller 2/3A cells would open up many more options in terms of placement. Just something to think about.

slobin3d, that is how i had my jefferson chassis set up. saddle pack ,3 on each side. worked well but still i didnt like how it looked. i even made lexan covers for the packs.

i like the run time i get with the sub c. the highest 2/3 i know of is the 1400 intellect. you are rite it would open up alot of possibilities.

Sub-C's in a 2.2 trail make for a TOP HEAVY rig. The way I see it, build 2 1400 2/3's A cells for the same price as a sub-C. And you will get the same run time and have a better handling truck
