Fast battery change in pit stop... need ideas.

[tom255]

custom work not issue for me. EC5 connectors are 5mm in diam and similar to 4mm? Issue with 5.5mm bullets and 6mm bullets that they are not last long they tend get sloppy with time. 4mm banana stile connectors are OK but dunno how they hold up 120A of current. To use deans its still the option.
I dont want to remove the shell its waist of time, better slip battery from side from spec ial shell cutout from side.

Mozzy my setup is: CC2200KV combo with Polyquest and Zippy-h 4S 5Ah batteries. Car geared to ~40mph.
New eficent motor and new batteries are new expenses for me besides rules are for 4S batts and I just bought two 4S 5Ah PQ batts. And still if you plan hold weight under control you need reduce batt capacity then your gain in time not so huge, only from efficency maybe 10%
I will try to draw something maybe post
Truggy weight is right now 4460g and I want to shave 100-200 grams more

4.46kg?

What truggy are you using?

My CRT is 5kgs both with Neu etc (listed in my sig) & I've been testing the 80mm Medusa with 2 x 2s Intellect 4600 hardcase packs to make 4S which still weighs 5kgs.

Do tell how you got this weight. Would you mind posting a few pics of your machine & how you've cut the weight?

I can't wait for this nano technology in batt's to be released to the general public.

Cheers Mozz.

Instead of using clips, use velcro on the body and mud guards to hold on the body. Use a tight batt tray with only one velcro strap.

This is the best way to acheive a quick batt change without major engineering work.

If 1/8th scale electric grows as big as I hope it does, we'll be running 10-12 minute mains not 30.
