How did you remove the portion that's obstructing the Trakpower pack from sliding smoothly into the slot?

Did you picture it before putting it on? Thanks in advance!

i'll try to post more pics tonight specially with the pack sliding in... i had to cut off the inside bottom area of those two things that hold the esc and rx... that gives enough room to slide the pack in...

once i start to slide the pack i have to plug the negative power plug in through the top deck and then the positive plug... once the negative is in i have to push a little sideways the downwards for the pack to be securely in...

i can then use the battery mount to close up... maybe i need to do a video would be easier to explain and show...


also for lipo users the car weighs about 850g and change... super light... i think i need to add at least another 100 - 150g but of course space is an issue but what are you guys using to add weight to the car?

Thanks in advance for posting the pictures.

I use lead weights from the tire shops that does real cars' tires and wheels. There's usually a piece of double-sided adhesive that's already applied on it, ready for us. It comes in a strip of 12 pieces, each piece weighing 5g. You can either get it for free or some a couple of bucks.

I'm also sure that there are companies making weights for RC applications. By far, the lead weights are good and cheap enough. I used them on my F103s.

Question:

Anybody here uses Tire Warmers for their F1 rubbers/Foams?

If so what type of tire warmers?

Thanks

so finally got a chance to take some shots of the lipo packs and their fitting... something i forgot to mention... i am using a smaller nut on the rear right side of the lower deck to create more clearance...

the rest should hopefully be pretty clear through the photographs

Okay after reading this thread I want one now!

Only problem is I can't seem to find a shop that has them in stock at a decent price.

Anyone know where I can get one?

By the way I'm in Australia.

based off from the pic, i see the pack doesn't sit squarely in the chassis... you're also not using the front battery stopper. this doesn't upset the chassis balance and handling?

Hey dsyed1,

Thanks for taking the trouble to post those pictures! Does it mean that the pack is slanted a little when in the chassis?

Also, I noticed that you have not popped in those ball ends to your front arms. You may want to do so with a round handle.

I can't find anything more versatile than this....
