The other question was:is it okay to use velcro to hold them in place,or would the batts get too hot?

If your liths are getting hot enough to cause the velcro to catch fire then I suggest you pick up your xtruck, yell "fire in the hole" and throw it as far as you can....
In other words velcro will work just fine.

i have my lipos on my profile rc planes with velcro. when the battery got hot it would heat up the velcro and make the sticky side melt and fall of so i would put hot glue on it when i applied velcro. it was still so hot that it even melted the hot glue!

Yeah, I could imagine that happening, but thats because an RC plane motor is going to be drawing a lot more power than an xmod motor. As long as you arnt running a super modified motor in your Xmod, and you dont run it for two hours straight, it wont get hot enough to melt glue or catch on fire. I used to play airsoft, and LiPos in an airsoft rifle will catch on fire during long games (long as in 3-4 hours), but again, that motor is more than twice the size of an xmod motor, and it moves a heavy gearbox.

I thought about mounting them on the battery cover.

I did this once to my F150 monster truck. popped wheelies but eventually caused the fets to catch fire.
I raised the body of my lowered Titan that runs liths to fit them under the bed and it flipped at high speeds til I made a reversable locking system for the articulation. now it burns through tires running the helicopter motor I used in it. I plan on making it more of a rally truck now. |
