Not so fast there........... here's my post in the 1/12 scale thread just yesterday:

Happy to report that my lipo/t-bar conversion worked very well. Better than expected actually. Made some battery locators that riase the pack so that it goes over the t-bar and raised the shock front and rear to keep the angle.

Below are some pics of the battery locators that I made so those that want to do the same, can. Started with aluminum t-track and machined the recess for the pack and drilled and taped mounting holes. Last modification may be something to use an o-ring instead of tape. No need for a saddle pack any more!







I'm trying to figure out a way to make some of these that would be affordable but it really is that not hard to come up with something on your own. Pretty simple concept.

I am a die hard t-bar guy. I've run every link car out there except the new 12R5.1 and the new Xray and have always found that a t-bar suits my agressive driving style better.
