Inferno GT2 Battery Tray

[rotary rocket]

Has anyone bought and installed this tray?
I would love to see a picture of it before I buy one.
Thank you in advance.

Same here.

Ask and you shall receive. The tray is built on the same concept as the MBX6 and 808 trays in that is is a direct bolt on and is designed to allow wire routing under it, as well as ESC mounting in the rear. The pictures show the whole car converted with all RC-monster parts - 2 speed adapter and gears, double servo plate, battery tray and kyosho motor mount. :)

Mike, what specifically is the setup (motor, gears, lipo, etc..) ?

[RC-Monster Mike]

The car has the Castle MMM 2200Kv combo with the 2 speed adapter and 17/23 gears using a 4s Lipo(4200mah 35c Hyperion G3) and Ofna foam tires.

Motor and esc run cold ?

The shift point to second speed must to be changed ?

Thanks

[RC-Monster Mike]

Heat is not an issue with this setup - the shift point usually requires tuning based on the track/bash spot. The ST-RR brakes work better than the stock setup, too(a worth-while change for real stopping power).

[NikoIGT]

Ok Mike, I asked about shift point because my fear is that the motor torque can destroy transmission.

What do you think?

[RC-Monster Mike]

Yes - the 2nd gear can be destroyed rather easily, actually. The original Gt tranny works better, as there is only 3 tooth difference between 1st and second(doesn't hit as hard). I set the shift point fairly low(shifts early) to minimize the damage. :)

[NikoIGT]

ok, then what better 2 speed setup do you recommend for my Inferno GT1 to minimize the damage ?

[RC-Monster Mike]

The GT1 tranny works better than the GT2 tranny.

[NikoIGT]

Ok Mike, I hold the original GT1 tranny.
But, what pinions to buy for to have high speed and low heat ?

[RC-Monster Mike]

17/20 would be a good place to start. :)

[NikoIGT]

Even with the GT1 tranny is recommended to set the shift point fairly low ?

18/21 how do you think?

Thanks for your kindness

I see that 51.5mm x 169 is the size you list for the gt2 tray but is that the overall size or is that how big of a battery can fit in the tray? If that's the overall size can you custom make a try to hold a battery as big as 160mm x 48mm and still have an integrated esc shelf?
