I am assuming by "normal battery pack" you mean a sub c stick pack. (If you aren't sure what size, ie; sub c, 2/3 a etc. you can check here and compare your cell dimensions against what is listed) http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/main.asp?sid=662924& If you have sub c cells it is going to be extremely difficult to get a saddle pack configuration to work on your front axle. The people who do use saddle packs on the front axle usually use 2/3 a cells. Here is a pic of a saddle pack on my son's Ax-10. |

The sub c will rub. 2/3a will work best. Check out cheapbatterypacks.com. |

wiring is very easy. Start with 4 cells laying flat and solder them together. Line them up on top of the servo and fit another cell on one side and figure your angle required for the battery bar. repeat on the other side as well. Once that is done solder your leads that hook to the ESC and Deans or whatever connector you want to use. heres a pic to maybe help a bit. (sorry for the roughness of it I spent like 3 minutes in PS working that up for an example) Also get some good velcro to add to the top of the servo and bottom of the battery. When my digi cam springs back to life I'll snap you a pic of my batteries. Hope this helps some.  |
