Syncro Syncron 4. Shell doesn't fit properly with 4s battery.

[unusualsquirrel]

Shell sticks out with battery in place. Ive been using duck tape to keep the shell down when i go bashing. Any ideas how i could get it to fit. Or if theres a new shell i could use. Ive been tempted to make some holes and use a cable tie.

Getting a less oversized batterij isn't an option?

These should fit perfectly:

(there are frequent sales where you can get them for like 30$)

Could use body post risers that come on Asuga to raise it a bit.

Great idea thanks.

Velcro along the sides. Solves the flappy body issue. I use DXF golds which are quite a sizeable 4s battery. Been using the Velcro solution, since I got my Syncro 4.

Even without slightly larger batteries, using velcro on the sides is advisable

Hard case 4S packs don’t fit well in the Syncro.

I use 5000mah soft case packs which fit perfectly. They are nice and light too so keeping the overall weight down, better for durability and handling.

There is a guy in the UK who makes 3D printed body post extensions which raise the shell up, that could be an easy solution?

Saw someone else install battery tray from the sbx825 buggy it sits a little lower apparently

Having tried some of the above I can confirm that velcro works great. Costs about a tenner on amazon to get a roll.

Thanks for this suggestion
