|  Battery question
Would I be able to fit 3 sub-c cells on either side of the servo on front axle? This would be with the tcs battery plates  I am thinking that the cells would fit best if they were in a brick configuragion (triangle) and with the cells pointing up and down. Thoughts?

Go with an 8 cell of IB 1400's or even a 10 cell pack like I did. We do custom packs but all you pay for is the cells and hardware no charge for the pack construction. Check us out. www.maxamps.com Jason |

My understanding is that more cells means more power and less runtime? FYI; my charger has a max of 7 cells and my esc has a max of 6 cells so I have to stick with a 6 cell

If I were you, i'd take an older, not much used battery, cut it up into individual cells, and lay 4 across the top of your servo, and then 2 on the sides of your servo, thats what i did, works like a champ. It is heavier than 2/3 cells though, but just take some weight out of your wheels or there is your wheight instead of wheel weights .

Alright guys 3 questions: 1) Is there a lipo saddle pack that will fit on the ckrcc battery plates on the front axle? 2) I am considering doing away with the battery plates on the front axle and going with axials battery/servo tray and mounting a lipo that way. Which lipo do you recommend in this configuration? 3) Would 4 or 6 cell nimh 4200's pack be too much weight on the front end? I have heard you want and try to keep the rig as light as possible. You will have to excuse me I am new to lipos and know nothing about them. Thanks for the help Last edited by BMAC; 04-16-2008 at 02:20 AM. |

The only Li-po saddle pack that will fit on the front plates is this one: http://www.maxamps.com/proddetail.ph...dlePack&cat=82 This link will show you what will fit on the Axial optional tray: http://www.nitrokillers.com/showthread.php?t=1135 and stick with 2/3rd cells on the front if you go the NimH route we have those available also.
