Default Question about the Switchblade Chassis

Anyone know if you can get the battery packs on the Switchblade Chassis securely?

Thanks,
S2kR

I don't think you can, theres no place for the battery trays to slide on.

uh... not really... there's not much support left after switching to the switchblade chassis. the batterypacks will vibrate and kind of flop around

I know what the chassis looks like XD
I don't want to get Liths because I don't want to have to stack FETS which I believe you have to do since the Liths are 8.4 V rather than 6 V also If I recall Liths have low mAh compared to my 800mAh AAAs

Heck I don't even want to do the soldering to swap to Liths... XD

They won't fry your FETs... Unless you gear high or use a hotter motor. Don't get higher then the yellow one. That should be 10t ?

and liths deliver 7.4v. no fet stack required if you stick with fet safe motors
and if you need your fets stacked it's not too expensive to do it. if you can afford a switchblade, you can afford a fet-stack

meh, I think I'll just stick with the normal chassis then, besides it's my drift car anyways so it's not like I need the chassis or liths
