Heres my take on fitting LiPo to the X-5, Ive seen how the Team guys are running theirs and looks cool. However i took it on slightly different..
Bolting down 2 of the origional cell posts that have been risen up using 2 of the 4mm high J-Concepts gearbox to top deck spacers under them at the back of the chasis and one just next to the servo for extra support as i didnt fancy drilling into the lip of the chasiss and making a complete hash of it
I had to take out the secondry Losi servo mount and replace it as seen in the picture which is a 'T' peice from the X-6 kit that holds the wall of the motor plate to the chais, Ideally i want to use an alloy on or an alloy servo mount from a B4, 501X or Yokomo BX. The strap im using is the Losi xxx4 one flipped over with the cell 'Ridges' taken off and finally ive filled in the cell slots in the chasis with resin mixing it with 'Dremal dust' from an old Hyper 7 hub to darken the mix up so it aint clear.
All in all it seems very steady and a normal stick pack sits in it sweet! - Next job, Schumacher CAT SX strap to make it look a tad neater..
