FUELL CELL Updates! (Patreon)

Some more progress on the fuel cell for the Drift Truck! Firstly, we got it 100% welded up. Secondly we began the process of mounting it. I started off by removing the factory frame brace and ugly battery mount I had made. After that, I bent up this tube that goes up and over the driveshaft area. In the future a driveshaft hoop will come off this tube.

After that, I tried to build brackets off the fuel cell to mount to that tube, unfortunately that failed. The wall thickness of the fuel cell is too thin. Whenever I weld something in the center of the side, it warps really badly and creates a huge gap. As you can see, I had a couple of frustrating try’s lol.

So the new idea is to mount it with a strap and some foam. Kinda basic, but easy and requires no welding to the tank!
