ALTERNATIVE
5-cell or 6-cell Battery Pack
ALTERNATIVE
LiPo Battery Pack
When using NiMH batteries, put the differentials and belts in the directions shown below. To balance the car, push the batteries inward towards the car
centerline, and push the electronics outward toward the chassis edge.
You can check the balance on HUDY balancing tools #107880.
When using LiPo batteries, the car balance is different than with NiMH batteries because LiPo batteries are much lighter. Therefore it is recommended to
switch differential and belt positions. To balance the car, push the LiPo battery pack outward towards the chassis edge, and push the electronics inward
toward the car centerline.
Approximately 30g of additional weight is needed to perfectly balance the car, depending on the electronics used.
Push the electronics more
towards the chassis edge
(away from the centerline).
Push the electronics inward toward the
car centerline as much as possible. Make
sure that the electronics do not touch any
belts and that the speed controller does
not touch the top deck.
Push batteries inward towards centerline.
Push the LiPo battery outward towards the chassis edge.
NOTE
These battery alternatives can also be switched, meaning that you can use NiMH batteries with LiPo as alternative (and vice-versa).
Use the indicated differential
and belt positions.
Use the indicated
differential and
belt positions.
