testing waters~ custom lipo plates? b44, xx-4, etc
yes, i know people have made "lipo plates" before.... but i have done a few to where i have machined "bumps" if you will in the plates so they sit flush or just above the bottom of a slotted chassis. i can make them whatever size/ thickness/ weight you want. i have made alum front rb-5 bulkheads, alum casterblocks for losi xx-4/xxx-4 and various other items and sold them on this site in the past with much success. the more i see these plates here and there the more i notice that no one offers anything like this.
i will try and get some pics up in the next few days or so of one i've made in the past for a local national champ
also, these can be made out of whatever material your looking for, stainless steel, alum, whatever you want. depending on the complexity of the plate i would be looking in the range of 15-30 bucks shipped. dont let the price scare you away like i said this is just a feeler.
please share any and all interest for anything you need and we can go from there
UPDATE! for all you orion 32,36, and 3800 guys! this is the plate for you. they are machined around the "bumps" in the bottom of the packs and do not raise the battery up very much for a nice fit. they are just under 3oz and should bring the weight up on whatever vehicle to just under a normal 4200 weight!

Is it possible that you will eventually make a B44 plate? An idea I had was a plate nearly the same as the ones that come with the kit, only its wider and has no bumps for NIMH cells. It would allow you to keep your standard body posts with the SMC packs.
