Quick release battery pack

[rawfuls]

I like Pinkpanda's idea, hardcased with bullet internals.

I'll be honest, I didn't read much of the thread... so not sure if you threw it out already, but..

You would mount the bullet connections on the chassis, and pull straight up if you wanted the battery out, push down to mount.
To lock, just a velcro strap, or a twisty metal mount (imagine a C, the cutout on the bottom, held in by a screw somewhat tight but still moveable, like a pivot, then pivot the clamp over lipo).

Yeah, that is the most ideal solution. Plus having a regular wire lead with deans on it as well for charging. I was just looking at the traxxas XO-1, and couldn't help notice the awesome battery trays! One retainer latch per tray, just a simply squeeze of the latch and boom, the hold down comes up.

I wouldn't mind using it, if I would be able to plug/unplug the pack leads without taking the body off. (well my pit guy) This way should yield pack change times of maybe 10 seconds? I can live with that!

Let me know what you think.
