Battery fitting question?

[lincpimp]

I have the same concern with my savage flm conversion. I plan to make a partial tray out of delrin to protect the ends and open side, and keep the pack in place. I will also use some velcro straps to hold the battery in the box.

I had a good look at the spacers and decided not to use them. They look ok, but I do not trust that they will keep the battery off the spur gear.

Thanks Linc. I have a friend with access to a machine shop and i'll have to see if he can grab me a few small off cuts that I can use to make bigger stops.

As soon as I get motivated to continue with the flm savage I will take some pics and make a tray.

I bought another used savage today, and may make a basher out of it, brushless of course!

I had the same concern, here is a pic of what I did. I have been the #@$#$ out of my truck with no problems with this setup.

What I did was take one of the left over chassis braces from my Savage X SS kit used it as a post. I attached it in the same slot that the little delrin post would attach. Then I took a piece of fiber board and cut out a piece that would fit between the side of the chassis and the motor. Drilled two holes to line up with the holes in the chassis brace and attached with 2 screws. It works perfectly. I've landed every way possible without the battery moving at all.
