Element RC Enduro Battery Relocation
Description
Here is an alternate battery mount for the Element RC Enduro frame that should work for both the Sendero and Trailwalker. This should bring the center of gravity more in line with the middle of the truck, directly over the front axle. After a few weeks of using it, it seems to keep the front wheels down a lot better than my wife's stock Enduro. I needed to add a little weight to the space between the rear body posts to help with going downhill to make it perform how I wanted. Update: I've been running the V2 version for a couple outings, and noticed there was space to lower the battery farther. I lowered the battery 10mm on the V3. Hopefully, that helps with the fact that now its a bit TOO nose heavy. Update 2: V3 version was a little lower than I'd have liked and apparently was rubbing just a little on the driveshaft. I've made a V4 that brings the lowered distance to only 7mm. It shouldnt have the same problem. I'm currently printing this out. I've also replaced my modified bumper mount. You wont be able to use a post mounted bumper, but it works great with the bumper linked below and other bumpers that use the same mounting. https://www.amazon.com/Shaluoman-Bumper-Crawler-Wrangler-Traxxas/dp/B0872W6G8H/ You'll also need the servo mount from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4536491 You can use the one included in my upload, but its modified to mount my stinger bumper. Supports are needed I printed with 50% infill and 5 walls. I'm unsure if this will be overkill or not.
