Better battery tray?

[stadiumyamaha]

Anybody have an easy way to replace the stock battery tray. Mine has come apart and there is no stock replacement.

Hi mamba2200,
on You Tube, there is a few videos of URC forums made by Jang.
He did nice batt. tray for his Rev.30 in carbon fiber.
And also successeded to run his Rev.60 MPH.
Just find that videos and you'll see.
Salute, Niky.

Thanks. I've seen those but was just looking for a drop in. I'm going to use the cf batt tray I have here, put some notches in it for straps and epoxy it in. Ill shoot a pic when done.
Thanks again.

Hi stadiumyamaha,
OK, as you want.
I'd like to ask you: for you the Rev.30 is really good boat, did you had some problems with it?
I'm planing to buy a new boat and I really don't want to repeat the mistake of purchasing the Spartan.
Now, I'm following what the people say on this forum about Rev.30 and it seems that the Rev.is what i need.
Thanks, Niky.

The revolt like most aquacrafts have some really cool things about it and some things I hate. Like the battery tray. But I think that will be the case with any rtr. I sort of like my spartan but know its limitations. It's a great basher on 4s with a big prop.
The revolt is really fun once set up. I've put a ul1 motor in mine and it really goes now. One of the coolest things about it is its so light that if you set it up right it will run a very long time on one 4s 5000mah battery with zero heat issues. With my set up I'm getting the best all round performance running a x642 prop.
If you get one make sure you check every fastener on the thing. Mine and others have had an issue with this.

Sorry I didn't understand what you wanted to say in the last line.
Anyway when I buy it I intend to convert it to 6s (T ESC 180A+Leopard 1600KV motor).
I got just the 3s (6 pacs), another bad memory of Spartan, wanted to go fast and then burned ESC.
OK, thank you again salute Niky.

This is what I came up with to replace the stock tray that failed. Should work well, sits low in the hull and has good stem to stern adjustability.
