Does anyone have a ROAR legal lipo solution for the FK04? I have yet to find a saddle pack or stick pack that will fit in any of the battery mounting locations. I haven't seen any dimensions for the "coming soon" Orion saddle pack lipos but I assume they will be close to the other saddles in size so they probably won't fit either. Also, how compatible is the 04 chassis with brushless? I haven't compared brushless/brushed cans and am wondering if there is room. I love my 04 but I am ready to move on to brushless/lipo technology and am afraid the car will not allow it...any suggestions welcome!

I run an Orion Carbon 3200 in my FK04. I put it down the left side of the chassis. This requires some minor grinding on the bulkheads and on one of the hinge pin holders. I screwed some small bits of fiberglass to the chassis to prevent side-to-side movement of the pack when it is taped in place. Front to rear movement is no problem! Cheers,

I used MaxAmp 4400 lipo's while bashing around, for a month. Mounted on with Scotch Foam Mounting Squares(Dble-sided tape) from Office Depot. Work well!
As stated b4, Trakpower saddlebacks are the only lipo's saddleback that are approved by ROAR. I'll use the Scotch Square again to mount them. I dont expect any problems with them either.

Thanks for the pics chris but how do you strap it in? I don't see anywhere to run tape!

Anyone tried some of the newer Lipo's in the Evo/FK04? I'm hoping the new SMC saddles will fit!

Here's a question for you guys running brushless in your T1's (Chris I'm looking at you)...what spur are you running to get the low FDR's required by brushless? Santa brought me a Speed Passion combo and I was told to start around 4.50 FDR, and the limited motor adjustability is driving me nuts! A smidge too high and the rear belt rubs the can, a smidge too low and the can rubs the pavement. Im running the low-ratio pulleys (32/18 1.77) so I'm looking for around 2.54 spur/pinion ratio. For reference, I ran 124/37 with my CO27 (64P obviously lol).

I have a T1 w/ brushless set up, used for testing only.
Set up Tekins RSPro, w/ Redline 2.5 KV motor
Stock 93T spur
24T pinion.
Motor Dia. 35.85mm/1.41"
Motor Length 2.09"/53mm
FDR 2.125
Lipo 4.4mah Saddlebacks by MaxAmp
Had to Dremel the chassis to accomodate the motor for endbell and for room for the belt. Approximatly 1mm gap bewtween belt & can of motor. Motor Can doesn't go below the chassis.
Gear ratio @ 3.875. Vehicle is fast on str8ts. T1 is used for testing ESC and motors only.

T1 ratio different for the T1EVO/T1FK's. I'm useing on a T1 stock 2.125FDR. Use the gearcart to figure your ratio. Useing the CO27 in referance can't be done, cuz I'm useing a Mod Brushless 2.5KV, Not a stock 27T CO motor. Isn't the CO27 a truck motor??
