I think Ellis runs the heatsink as a precaution all the time anyway, he used to use it even when he ran the alloy motor plate, but I amsure he will agree the motors dont get "that" hot underneath anyhow, just extra measures, just in case......

Seems like I'm in the good direction
I also used standard epoxy putty to fill the cell holes. |

Maybe we'll see a pre made Lipo ready chassis in the future with all these new mods done

Our battery brace mod,
2 additional posts screwed from under, each side of centre box, brace via fibre-lyte from our simple design in 3mm carbon, tried some simple delrin brace but like the larger carbon. Also cutup some lead flashing to fit under the lipo in the slots, we have yet to run the car so expect to be adjusting weights as we go. |

Need to get weight balance of my X-6 right. I am using TP 3200 LiPo and found handling had really changed from NiMh in 4-2 arrangement. |

Tim the TP 3200 is REALLY REALLY light, maybe half the weight (ish) of the 5500LRP packs Ellis uses so you'll not be able to directly compare I don't think, well that is unless you weight up underneath the lipo to total weight of 4 Nimh cells, then add the same as Ellis to the front. Hope you've got some lead

As dan says you will need some lead.
My 5300 lipo's weigh the exact same as 4 nimh cells so all I had to add was 145 grams to the front to replicate the 2 missing cells. Good reason to get high capacity ones...and I can do 25 minutes on them |

That explains why when I used a borrowed TP4900 with 2 old cells in the front centre slot it felt better.
So, do I need to replicate the weight of the 6 NiMh set up, or just the balance? Could I put half the weight of the TP3200 LiPo (193g) below the speedo in the 2 cells slot? So that's 96.5g in front? |

Matt dodd ran his softer, not sure if he ran any lead, he won at worksop

I ran 30g where the front 2 cells were, 10g infront of the servo & 5g at the very front with a Trakpower 3600

Whats the chances of there being an x6 chassis without the battery holes and without the deviders for the cells so that lipo can fit straight in.

Lipo fits straight in now

#37
|

|

I know they do fit i was just wondering if there would be a lipo style chassis with no cell holes and just a flat batter tray. Similar to what chemax92 has done.

chemax92: doesn't have a flat battery tray Ash, he's just filled in the holes under the Lipo. Although the front battery tray is flat for the speedo to sit in, is that what you mean?
If you cut the support out under the Lipo the chassis gets proper wobbly, I tried it on an old X6 chassis. It's quite surprising how much those little ribs do. |

But if we "filled in" the holes people would then NEVER be able to run any older NIMHs, a car that can run both is better IMHO thatn one that can ONLY run LIPO or ONLY run NIMH.......
