I'm in the same boat as the last guy, but I use the Vislero 3s 1300mah lipo pack available from cheapbatterypacks.com (I got mine from Holmes) and it is a great fit. Check out CBP, as this pack is about the biggest I'd put in that spot, and the site should have the measurments.

We've got this 2000 in a 3S or 2S and on the front servo battery tray it's only 4mm longer than the battery area on the tray. It does work. http://www.maxamps.com/proddetail.ph...ro-Pack&cat=82 Jason |

yes the vislero is the biggest one you can put on there the dimensions are 7cm Length X 3.5cm width x 2cm height. you can play with the height of the batt but 7cm is the max before you will hit the whel when turning heres some refrence pics for you :     |

Hi again ok great thanks for the measurments. I also have a Lipo that measures Dimension: 64mm X 31mm X 18mm that one maybe my best bet! thanks for the photo shots of the battery plate with lipo attatched. how do you like it? its just a little higher than mounting saddle packs what do you think of it? |

It rules. Having gone with 11 volts I'll never go back. The wheelspeed allows me to run right up stuff I couldn't get up before. Huge difference from my stick packs mounted up high. Do it.

well i like it a lot! because lipos dont weight anything its ok its a tiny bit higher than a sadle pack. the only downfall to mounting any batt on the axle is it might get damaded on a roll over ect. other than that i like it a lot  |

Don't forget that the offset of the wheels you are running is going to make a difference too.  |

i just bought the max amps 3 cell 2100 lipo and it is AMAZING. runtime and POWER are OUTSTANDING. i cant stress this enough. i will never run another battery. here is the link http://www.maxamps.com/Lipo-2100-111-Pack.htm @ 34mm X 98mm X 24mm its too big to mount over the front axle, but i like that better because then it is protected from roll-overs. THIS BATTERY IS AMAZING  |
