At least through it all there's been some progress on my 870C. Slow and steady she goes!
Manage to mill out new lipo battery trays as well as stand offs for thumbscrews to hold down the batteries. The tray on the right of the car can be flipped over to swap the battery position for weight adjustments.
Batteries mounted. Barely visible is also the servo mount plate that I made. I didn't want to drill any new holes to mount the servo so I used the existing holes in the chassis originally used to attached the chassis "spine".
Also trimmed out the shell and undertray. Took a bit of fiddling and trimming to get it to fit right especially with the new top-deck mounted. Here's a pic with the shell and Pro-line Caliber tires all round. Starting to look like an 870C now!
Gonna mask up the shell and get it painted.
Some stuff still to finish... wingmount wire, cut and paint wing, glue tires, rebuild shocks, install electronics.
If time allows I'm going to try to mount a rear brace to the hingepins also, not to strengthen it but to remove some of the slop. lol!
Lipo battery use mainly in the small racing car and toys. Lipo battery backup is good then the other brands battery. The tray on the right of the car can be flipped over to swap the battery position for weight adjustments.
