Fitting a Trackpower 4900 Lipo in an Origanal E4 PHOTOSHere is how to fit a Lipo in an Origanal E4 :DParts to Dremmel are 1. Centre Brace this needs to be taken down to as thin as you dare on the inside of the top . 
2. Underside of Steering mounts under top deck need to be taken down as low as you dare . 
3. Battery tray needs slight grinding in the centre and to the front .  
4. Middle shaft mount need to be squared up on the rear the top curve that would have wrapped round the cells needs removing . 
5. The Aluminuim plate that 2 screws go into which hold the rear of the battery tray in needs slight grinding ( Only Slight ) . 
6 The rear aluminium upper deck mount needs grinding back as far as you dare ( There won'y be a lot of it left ) BE CAREFUL . 
7. The Top deck needs lifting up by 3mm ( The shim used on the rear Upper deck mount that you have grinded off needs grinding also ) & add a 3mm spacer under the ball stud onto the steering hub to try and keep the bump steer the same 
8. Top deck needs to be drilled to allow for the 2 battery holes in the Trackpower ( I have also drilled out for the ballencer lead ) . 
9. The centre brace will also need shimming up and slight dremmeling to stop the side belt rubbing on it where its been raised up . 
I think thats it ......... This seems like a lot when you read it but my second E4 only took about 40 minutes to Mod :) Or you could buy the E4RS which will take most Lipos ( Not the Trackpower 4900 ) still needs the deck shimming so i have been told by TM :D |
