Upgrade to battery box on CHIMERA

[Mycbr6rr]

I moved the ON/OFF switch to the side of the box for easier access and modified the battery plug so you can charge it without taking the lid off ,similar to the BAJAS ,cause the battery plugged direct into the ON/OFF SWITCH

Good idea, nice work.

 

[Mycbr6rr]

Thanks Ol' fart

I wish I had the room in my boxes to run the switch on the sides. It would make it easier to reach with the bodies on.

I also keep my charge leads outside the box. Far more convenient.

 

[Mycbr6rr]

There is a lot of room in it , it worked well

 

[Guest]

Mine are pretty stuffed.

 

[Mycbr6rr]

Ah I see why , bigger battery

Very nice job I had to do that also I put my switch on the top of the battery box.

 

[Mycbr6rr]

That's awesome ,I thought of going on top with the switch but I wanted to be able to remove the cover without any attachments to it . Great job on it .

 

[rcgasser]

Thanks very much boy there is very little room to get in there with the cage on.

 

[Mycbr6rr]

I know ,it was a bad design

 

[rcgasser]

Yes it was now I am trying to figure out how I can do the gas cap I am thinking I am going to try the bullet fueler where I can fill the tank up from the top of the cage.

 

[Mycbr6rr]

That's a good idea but have you ever had one before ,I bought one for my baja before and it leaked like crazy when hooked it up to the gas cap ,if they used a aluminum valve on it that would have been better.i think for now I'm just gonna take off the cap and use a nitro fuel bottle to fill it. I'm still thinking about other ideas myself.

 

[rcgasser]

Yes I have heard of that many of time and they are supposed to have a better design now I really don't want the fueler itself because I use an electric pump to fill my cars so I just want a gas line from the top of the cage to the gas cap and just fill from there.

 

[Mycbr6rr]

Ah just use the gas cap and attach a hose to it and attach it to the cage ,I also thought of that .

 

[rcgasser]

Yes correct also I have to try to figure out what cap or to put over the fuel line end while I am running.

 

[Mycbr6rr]

How about a vent cap but it would have to be bigger than the ones you can get with the bullet fueler I think

 

[rcgasser]

Yes it will have to be but as far as the gas cap I can just drill it out and put in a nipple the add the gas line I was trying to get a cap to put on the gas line on the top part of the cage.

 

[Mycbr6rr]

Yeah that sounds good ,would you use a aluminum gas cap ,drill and tap it ,would be better than plastic.

 

[rcgasser]

Yes I will.
