Parallel Connections

[Guest]

Well done.

 

[Deluge]

Thanks, dude! Now I just need to buy the materials.

Thanks for sharing this! I'll be using your method to make my connectors.

 

[bigfol]

All hooked up.....

Looks great. That's one clean install.

I also like your rock guards.

 

[BoukeG]

Yeah, those rock guards are very nice! Where did you get them?

 

[bigfol]

I cut them out of a old rubbish bin lid,any bit of reasonably tough plastic will do......they really work a treat.I also drilled new holes and moved the battery holders as far back as I could on the chassis, it really evens out the weight distrbution, flies straight when in the air. Might be a good extra to include on 7075's new xbe chassis......hint hint ol'fart.

That's awesome. Talk about keeping wiring short and tidy. I am a bit nervous about bullets and the risk of miswiring, but I can't see that this trick would work for wiring polarised connectors. Will have to think about that!

Thanks for reminding me that I want to do that mod to mine...I had similiar on my Losi 8T (later e) and it was very helpful keep crap off rear end...I should really do it on my Savage as well ...that truck gets real dirty...lol...

Did you only have to drill and relocate the rear battery holder? Compensating for the larger batteries. The chassis has 2 positions for both the front and rear battery holders. I notice your front holders look like they are in the back holes.

I just moved my rear mounts to the back set of holes to make room for the bigger batteries. Even that made a difference in weight distribution. Yours however, would be even more dramatic.

Thanks for the photos.

Yes a very nice install. Look`s tite(excelent).Good show and bravo!

 

[Deluge]

Nice cable management!

Yes, I just drilled out another set in the rear, the weight of the batts is pretty heavy,having them as far back as possible really helps even things out. It would be a good mod to include on any new chassis.....

Nice cable management!

Thanks for the kind words guys, I like to try and keep everthing neat and functional, not that you can see it, but I also trimmed and re-terminated all the signal/fan/bec cables so they all fit inside the RX box.....

Wow, that must have been a lot of work! Can you zoom in and make an image from that?

 

[Guest]

Make me want to redo mine all over again.

Nice. I'd like to see that!

 

[bigfol]

I'll post a pic when I get the chance, kids are driving me mad at the moment.......God love'm.LOL

 

[Deluge]

Looking forward to it, dude. Always appreciate a clean rx box.

 

[bigfol]

Here we go, finally got around to it....
