uhoh_45 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) plans in near future are to cut out the spare tire area and slap in a battery box, roughly 35x30x12 so decently big trying fit 6+ batteries in there and was wondering what thickness steel you guys used and how you braced it ? i was thinking 3/16" was strong/light enough Edited January 30, 2012 by uhoh_45 R.I.P!

kryptonite Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Use angle iron Sa the main support and skeleton, than 12 gauge sheet on the outside to weather tight it. 3/16" plate is a lot Edit: better idea lol Edited January 30, 2012 by kryptonite DC SOUND LAB NUT HUGGERCurrently Own 4 - 18" lvl 6s (m3) w/full Carbon Fiber option 2 - DC 5k lvl 4 motor lvl 2 motor On 8/2/2013 at 8:13 PM, n8ball2013 said: this is much worse.

skittlesRgood Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 i almost did this once. really glad i didnt though. i was going to do the skeleton idea myself. make sure the batteries cant jump up when you hit a bump or if you get in an accident. if you compete, check the rules for your class. this may put you in an extreme class. it would have for me in meca. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
