Re: 870C and Hotdog build
First time i try this on my mobile...
but you get the idea. Beside the battery posts i used 4 servo posts and scrap graphite material. The servo and servo saver were swapped over from right to left
The battery top strap is missing; i havent run the car for awhile

Re: 870C and Hotdog build
I found a better app. This should be bigger...
The chassis of the hotdog is large enough to do this, but I don't know whether the body will still fit.

It looks better with the battery in place and wiring cleaned up
