Adapter to allow using battery straps in RC cars. Work in progress.
Redesigned in Fusion 360 for CHAMFERRRRRS and eventually turned out in multiple versions - use as needed, remix as needed.
Replace standard battery posts:
with these two printed parts and you can use a battery strap (more flexible and sturdy).
Battery straps are "BangGood specials" - 4 USD for 10 straps, very cheap and good ESUN Yellow ABS, battery is the (quite large) Zippy 6000 mAh 2S2P 35C hardcase.
The car is the always awesome HPI Maverick Strada MT Brushless, also known as Redcat Volcano EPX Pro, HSP Brontosaurus, Exceed Infinitive, Himoto EMXT-1, Amewi Torche Pro (which are basically the same car).
I've included all intermediary models in case somebody finds them useful.
The final versions are: BattHole_M26_shifted.stl and BattHook_M26_shifted.stl which have an offset screw in order to fit properly into the chassis.
