I have a few of those hump backs and they still have cells in them... and holy cow they still held a charge! I too display them.. with time appropriate cars. That’s so hot!! How do you keep your fenders from being scraped up? Not run them? I keep flipping and rolling my HCT. It’s got a case of road rash on all 4 fenders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tim.senecal 487 Posted May 12, 2022 I am upgrading my elegoo mars to a saturn as we speak. the dimensions of the Mars barely fit, and i am using this and a few other projects as an excuse to upgrade... IceBox, if you are willing to let me borrow your case for a week or so sometime in the distant future i would definitely appreciate it. that way i could get all the embossed areas nicely copied. I will PM you to set the lending up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice ,, I removed the cells to prevent any chance of the cells causing damage . I had no interest in running the pack . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, my original battery for my Super Champ went all melty, it didn't work afterwards. I didn't get a Tamiya pack again, the next batteries were all shrink-wrapped. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
