 The
battery pack for the 540r is simple to make. Please click on
the link below to download a 1:1 scale drawing of how the pack is
configured to fit into the battery cutouts in the chassis.
It's basically a 3x1 saddle-style configuration, with (3) of the
cells mounted right next to each other and soldered together using
battery bars and the last cell is soldered with a short wire
approximately 13mm away from the other (3) cells.

Everybody knows that it's not just about how much power you have
but how much weight that power has to push around. All of
the x3 series conversion kits are much lighter than any typical
1/10 scale car/truck, so the power-to-weight ratio with a whopping
540 motor, regardless of turn, is very high for all these kits. Ultimately it comes down to what you think will be the best setup
for you.

 This is
a simple spreadsheet that uses Excel to calculate predicted speeds
given certain criteria such as motor RPM, number of cells, tire
diameter, drag, etc. A must-have tool for any hobbyist.
