TOPIC:

Just managed to pick one of these kits up unbuilt from a friend who never got around to building it as i fancied something a little different. I have everything i need apart from the battery which was a specific 6 cell 7.2v pack like a normal stick pack but built to fit the micro chassis if anyone has one to sell id be interested or if anyone knows how i can get one made up id appreciate the advice pic below is of the original tamiya item:

Look for a RX battery pack.

Thats a great idea stingray saw this on ebay seems like a good deal but the batteries are laid out in a different way so not sure if it would fit it is a good price though the originals are over £20.00 and only 1700mah

I know the Tamiya max climber version has a different layout for the battery mounting see pic below im just wondering if this could be adapted to fit the rockbuster. the rockbuster design seems a little stupid just adds more expense to the build but then again it is a Tamiya

if you're any good with a soldering iron, its not so hard making your own accu packs.

I think there is also a UK based online shop that makes all kinds of battery pack configs, the other TB guru's may remember the name of the shop. (cant come up with it right now)

This place is based in Wales and i've used them before,im not sure if they make their own battery packs or not,worth asking.

I never made a good soldering to make my own sticks.
I had the same matter with my BRP but the différents types of rx batteries help me and I had a pyramidal stick.

Battery plate for the RockBuster is not too difficult to make. I made one of 52x150mm fiberglass.
Zip ties were uses to attach it to the lower rear chassis crossmember and it just rested on the motor mount in the front. It could easily have been be made prettier, but I used long screws poking out from the sides of the chassis and attached the battery with strong rubber bands.

Thanks guys that homemade battery tray looks great

I will have to wait a few weeks but will order that battery with my next paycheque i think thanks andyaus it seems like a good deal at around $28 usd just wish the mah where a little higher 1700 is quite small now.

got a great deal on the bearing set from Rcbearings.co.uk using the promo code from the site
