better battery holder?

[Trevinator1990]

there has GOT to be a better way to hold the battery that makes it easier to get to! does anyone know of a way to hold the battery or a larger mah battery outside of the battery box? i hate having to unscrew the cover to get at the battery.

I feel your pain on this. Imma try to post a pic of my setup for relocating the battery.

so, i finally got tired of having to unscrew the electronics box cover to access the battery for charging, so i designed my own. this should put it in front of the air filter and allow the cover to be secured with body pins instead, at least thats the plan. i may have to redesign it so the body pins are horizontal instead of vertical to have it clear the roll cage, but we'll see. after its printed and i know it fits and works, then i will design the cover for it. im printing it in petg, little stronger than pla.

got the box sorted, now onto the cover. will likely have to make alterations to it for clearance in some places, but this will let me know where as a start. cover should only take about 7-8 hours to print.

I'm loving that. Nice work dude. If that pans out, I'll see if I can print one out in PLA on my son's ToyBox printer somehow. Idfk haha
