Mounting Electronics (4 cell & Saddle LiPo) The “Center Mass“ chassis layout of the DB10R is one of the features that really puts this car ahead of the pack. This chassis design moves the batteries forward and places the electronics between the battery and the motor pod. This accomplishes two things. 1. The batteries are moved forward to obtain the proper weight distribution. 2. The electronics are located in the most efficient location (short power wires, tidy receiver wiring). This lay ou

Mounting Electronics (Stick LiPo) This is the recommended electronics installation when the DB10R is powered by a stick LiPo battery. You will need to purchase the “Stick LiPo Mounting Kit” (www.bmiracing.com, DB5900) in order to fit the battery. The “Stick LiPo Mounting Kit” consists of 2 longer alloy stand offs that makes room for the taller battery. Note that this lay out is not ideal as you will need to add weight equal to the weight of your speed control to the right side of the car to
