Default RE: MX450 XS Discussion Thread

OK guys. Here is a method for mounting your battery in the manner of a Align Trex. Get another gyro mount 4012-021 $5.99 and some 2mmx16mm cross members 4021-010 $3.19 and 2 more 2mmx4 screws or socket bolts and the Align Battery holder HS 1123-00 $4.99. You use the gyro mount to bolt the battery holder on to. First you will drill 3 hols in the top of the gyro mount and bolt the battery holder on to it . Then mount the gyro holder to the front of the frame at the front cross member on the upper frame above the motor. The other mount screw tabs will be place toward the back toward the cross member at the servos. Drill two holes in the frame and insert 1 cross member. Bolts those tabs to the frame with the 2mmx4 screws. The battery holder will be toward the front of the heli at an angle and suspended above the stock battery mount. Us the old battery mount to secure the ESC to. The canopy will fit the battery just like the Trex.
