All batteries, radio gear and speed controller
fitted onto chassis plate
which is connected to body with six bolts
Captive nuts in body shell
Battery packs made to fit space.
12 batteries giving 14.4V i.e. 2 x 6 connected in series.
Recharging socket and switch fitted into chassis plate underneath the
cab.
Chassis plate is scrap fibre glass sheet
The radio gear as shown is a Radio link receiver working a 10amp Mtronics
Viper controller. This worked perfectly well. This has since been replaced
by a Deltang combined receiver and speed controller. These units are
minuscule and will fitted into virtually any model (and work out a lot
cheaper). Highly recommended. |
