Quick release battery pack - 06.26.2012, 08:59 AM

I searched the couple old threads on quick release packs and trays, there was one good idea from 'shizzon', but entirely unfeasible for most, for me.

I was thinking why not use a PRE-MADE battery pack case like a dewalt 20v/3.0Ah lithium pack, place my 6s/2200 pack inside (if fits) and somehow find both the drill side or charger side of the mechanism to mount on the RC. A guy would have to figure out how to integrate a Deans connector into the system, which might not be hard at all. The only real 'BUT' is getting a hold of some EMPTY dewalt battery cases, or finding faulty/bad packs on ebay.

If this could be done, then battery changes would be as quick as a refueling for a nitro RC.... this would be huge make up time in a 30 min main race.

Let me know what you guys think, and if you guys know where a guy can get some of these dewalt pack cases (or whatever brand), as long as it's strong enough for the job.
