Hi all, after seeing the lipo conversion introduced for the T2009 (Part 301186) I thought about it and found I do not think that is the best way for this conversion. So I set about it myself developing my own conversion. See pics below, all comments welcome good or bad. Enjoy!
This is the rear part of the conversion, 2mm thick rectangular blocks inserted into the rear. Raising the top deck.
This is the front part of the conversion. 4 quantity 2mm thick spacers were made for the front end. Also note the new 2mm longer chassis brace (original xray part 306513) also note at the bottom of the chassis brace part missing to allow the lipo to be more centralised into the chassis. Also the steering servo (original part 302504) has a custom made shaft which has a 2mm extension on the top half (to prevent unwanted bump steer)
Providing you have the original chassis brace and original servo saver you can turn the top deck upside down to revert back to the original top deck height (that's if you choose to glue the spacers to the top deck!)
Finally, thanks for looking and I do welcome comments good or bad.
Thanks,
Matt
