Clodbuster ESP Clodzilla IV question

[ShowRide 0]

Hi everyone,

I have a Clodbuster which was upgraded with a ESP Clodzilla IV chassis.

In general I'm very satisfied about the chassis, it's very strong, flexible and very fast []. But there's what I think one flaw in the design and that's the way you have to fix the battery to the chassis [V].

I tried 2 solution to fix the battery. First with tie straps but that makes it difficult to change the battery [8)]. Then I tried rubber bands but those don't really keep the battery in place and it came loose a couple of times in the middle of the action [8)].

Is there anyone else who has or had this problem or does somebody have a solution? All propositions are welcome.

Thanks in advance,

ShowRide

These are a common solution for that sort of problem. The mounting holes on those are about 2¼" apart, so you may need to make your own mounting plate(s) if the ones on the CZ4 aren't wide enough.

Hi Razer,

thanks for the tip. These might indead be the solution for my problem. I was planning to make an order at Towers so I'll include a set to try it out.

If somebody else has another proposition please don't hesitate to propose it, 2 solutions are always better then one []

cheers,

Well I have to agree with you about battery holders.

Anyway I didn't find so hard changing them, I always used 2 packs together, and I kept them with open/close tie straps.

Check the pic below to see how I fixed them.
