Wanted WT-01 or WR-01 Battery Retaining Clip

[Only4Fun]

Hi, I am looking for a WT-01 or WR-01 Battery Retaining Clip.

If there is anyone who has one spare to sell, to save me buying the complete E Tree, I would be grateful.

I am in Hampshire in the UK.

Many Thanks 

Derek  : )

Do you mean Part E1?

I strongly recommend you pay for the quick release set. I found the supplied clips to be pretty poor at holding the battery and would come loose if rolled etc.

 

Failing that - send me a PM as I have one spare

@Prescient Thanks for replying but I have decided to follow wilsonians advice and go for a quick release

Hi @wilsonian Thanks for the advice on the quick release. I was reading through your Wild Dagger thread and think this is the sensible way to go. I recently bought a WT-01 rolling chassis which I was intending to use for spares for my WR-01 Double blaze, but because it came with Ball bearings, Alloy shock towers, Alloy front and rear hubs, Alloy c hubs, Alloy shocks, heavy duty servo and a Painted Double blaze body. After a quick clean, and seeing how good a condition it was in, it seemed a shame to tear it down. So I've  decided to restore it back to a runner. I've never had a 2wd monster truck. In fact the only 2wd's I own are a Brat and a Taiyo Edge Freestyle BMX  RC !  So it will be quite fun and interesting to have a 2wd and a 4wd Blaze. Thanks once again and I appreciate your offer of the spare.

The qr is the way to go if you don't mind spending on them. I have a load of spare E1 due to qr replacements.

If you can, it's worth getting a set of these tyres as they fit straight on the WT01 2.2 rims and give you great scale MT performance. Transforms the 2WD performance due to grip and contact area. Bargain at Hobbyking at the moment.

I need to update that build blog as a few other bits have been changed since. :-) you might need washers to space out the clips as I found them a little too snug on the battery.

I've got those tyres on my WR-01 wheels.

They are HUGE !

Thanks, I will look out for that and your blog update.
