Hmm, it is a little heavier than I would have expected, but then again those are huge lipos, and that motor is definately a lump; but a nice lump! Where did the battery heatshrink come from, I would like to find some large diameter thin stuff, rather than the really thick stuff Im currently using (traps too much heat from the Nimh cells).

I found a supplier that has a color assortment, but the least you can get is 100 foot rolls of the stuff. PM me for the contact information.

I ordered 4 rolls of the stuff. Red, Black, Yellow, and Blue. The shrank thickness is 4 to 5 mils. It's close to Industry Standard I think.

The flat width is 3 1/4". I was thinking about adding this to my Ebay products. Anyone interested?

This width works for alot of popular sizes. Batteries in the picture from left to right are: A123 4S1P, 6 cell Nimh, 7.4v 2S2P 10000mah lipo, 11.1v 3S1P 4000mah lipo, and the one on the right is 7.4v 2S2P 8000mah lipo.

I think you should put a little time into "blending" your bottom motor mount. It looks as though it could easily be an impact spot as low as it sits. I'd hate to see you bend it up. I wonder if there is a way for you to attach the stock Revo tranny guard to it?

I didn't get the chance to page back to the beginning of the thread, but did you cut out the motor opening at all? If not, you may be able to do this, and raise the motor just a few mm's (or not!).
Otherwise, great job!
