Battery locations

[prairieshaul]

I just got some pro-match 4200's. I have been trying to come up with different locations for the batteries, but no good ideas yet.
What are the most common spot the mount a split 6 or 7 cell pack?
Also what are some of the pro and cons of those?

i take it there c sized batterys,you wont be able to get them on the axels very easy even if you use a split pack as theres not enough room most people use 2/3 sized battery as they fit on the axels

i have the plate for the axle on mine and use a 1000 mah 11.1 lipo fits perfect between the servo and the tire no rub at all

Any Sub-C pack is going to severely limit your mounting locations. That's why you see the smaller 2/3A cells and lipo are more popular options.

Only two places I've seen Sub-c packs is length wise on the front upper links over the steering servo, or the stock location which is very bad as it put weight up too high.

get alot of wire and try to configure them on the front and rear axle to help split the load.... the further forward the better, but if needed, 2-3 batteries on the rear would work also.

I have seen guys doing what they call a "bridge pack". They run four across the servo and one on each side of the servo.
Kinda like this..Sorry for the simplafied drawing. S represents the servo.
