Battery size big for DEX410 ?

nikos · #1 05-04-2010

I have the Nosram batteries, 5000 mAh, 50 C but i think is too tall for the DEX410. I have already put them up side down, but still is no good. The centre axle can not turn right
Any suggestions ? Has anyone made a custom solution? Like battery stripes or something ?

do you know the height of the battery?

you could always shim up the motor plate/slipper mount up a few mm by putting some shims under it.

Maybe a solution with 410R?

I think there are pictures with orion batteries on the post of electronic install?

Yes, the 410R has the new battery strap and center mount allowing lipos up to 25mm

I am not sure if the 410 will have the running change, but i highly think so

I tried to shim up the motor plate, but the centre axle scratches the plastics (sorry for my terrible English).
I had an idea. To lower the chassis, about 1 -1,3 mm at battery area with a CNC machine. How about that?
But know I read about the he new battery strap and center mount allowing lipos up to 25mm of the DEX410R, so I'll check and maybe I'll make a modification...
