Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / March 2007the Savage has. . .
The WORST battery/receiver box layout I've ever seen. How the heck is all the servo leads/battery lead/antenna lead supposed to fit in there? Mine has an empty servo slot, and I still can't figure out a way to fit all that in there. > The WORST battery/receiver box layout I've ever seen.

Get a box from a Savage X, bolts straight in, MUCH better lid design (no body clips) Oh and shorten your servo, receiver battery wires, makes things much neater and easy to get to... HTH :) Cheers Dre > The WORST battery/receiver box layout I've ever seen. How the heck is > all the servo leads/battery lead/antenna lead supposed to fit in > there?

You get used to it hehe :-)  SignatureDan Formerly DanTXD > The WORST battery/receiver box layout I've ever seen.

Standing in front of the truck looking at it, run the wires underneath the left side of the rx tray and then UP to the receiver on the left side. All of your wires should be coming from the left-lower portion of the battery box up to the rx. Here's a HUGE pointer. Drill two holes in the left side of the battery box lid and run the battery connections through either hole so you can charge the rx pack without having to pop the lid off the battery box.

Plus the lid is wider (since there are no body pins) so its HEAPS easier to get the wires and sh.t in underneath. Also, you can get a battery indicator bar that also screws straight in (they have a blank if you dont use this) which I've put in so no more having to pull the battery to check volts. Seriously, if you have a Savage, this box is a MUST MOD! Cheers Dre > >> The WORST battery/receiver box layout I've ever seen.

Though the orig bat box was harder to get the cables all in, I never had much of a problem doing so and i didn't even shorten any leads!. Maybe if something to do with the amount of practice i had in taking the lid on and of...........I ran alkalines for months :) > > The WORST battery/receiver box layout I've ever seen.

Works good, except having the RX upside-down made all the servos work backwards. Thanks. |
