Dual motor problem

[Kowal]

Hello! I'm building a fireteam with 2 motors and I don't know where to mount the batteries (4x 3s 5000mah). Does anyone have a Mojave/Fireteam with 2 motors? share your photos

Is top mounted batteries layout good?

How did you manage to figure out how to mount and hook up 2 motors to 2 different ESC's but can't figure out how to mount batteries?

Share your photos of what you got so far.

How is your motors positioned currently?
Traditional
or Rotated/facing front??

Photos would help us..

Rotated, bot i couldn't fit them traditional way too

That’s the longest chassis in the 6s line. Take out the factory battery boxes and take a long look at your layout. Change it if necessary. There are guys that have done dual motor SWB (328mm) builds. You are blessed with a whole lot more real estate to work with. You can do it.

How they do that? (It doesn't fit between motor mount and rear axle

First, you'll need to get rid of the hand-brake gadget.
Then do a bit of trimming of the plastic chassis sideguards to better install battery trays..

Yup, like @Tex Koder said, get rid of the handbrake assembly. Thats a good start. Then eliminate the T2T bar and replace it with a flat carbon brace. Then you can mount electronics on that and free up room on the chassis. What’s the rig going to be for? On road speed running on an XLWB chassis? If so you can also add GT side skirts and get a lot more room.
If this is going to remain an off road basher and you want to keep the stock FT body I think you would have been much better off to not go dual motor in the first place. It would be pretty easy by comparison to put in a single big can motor and either an XLX2 or even a Max 4 and go 12s.

1. Ditch the hand brake
2. Screw on some custom plate material to make more room in the rear.
3. use Saga or Scorched battery tie downs

It might be tough with the fireteam body as it is pretty restrictive. Have you considered a different body that would allow more vertical and horizontal clearance? Or at least remove the army dudes to free up space.

Additionally, I would consider using two small 6S batteries instead of four 3S batteries.
