  • Battery tray / wires from ESC

    Just curious, to any Diabolo / Triabolo owners; How are you finding the sliding LiPo tray as opposed to not using the sliding tray and strapping them in with the big o-ring things?

    Also, how do you have your battery wires routed from the ESC? If you put the ESC in front with the battery side facing forward, which seems the most common way, it ends up being a looooong reach to the rearmost pack.

    The other thing in the big picture of all this is ease of use on a regular basis. Ideally I'd rather not have to remove the canopy over and over again to connect packs, disconnect packs etc. I vastly prefer to be able to connect the final pack to arm the ESC with the canopy on as I don't like to have it armed in the pits. And after a flight I don't want to have to take the canopy off and try to carry everything, it just invites getting the canopy scratched (I'm totally OK with that on a Trex 500, but not a behemoth like the Triabolo).
