Ax10 Battery relocation kit? Lipo dimensions?
 
I was wondering if someone would be able to give me the dimensions (width and length) of what the max space is for a lipo on the Ax10 battery relocation kit (the axial branded kit). I have recently purchased an ax10 and it is on route to me - I wanted to order 2 more 3s lipo's now for it so they would show up at the same time as the rig so I am not able to get the measurements myself at this time.

I just purchased mine and they were out of the 1300mah so I went ahead and got the 2200mah with it that measures 105mm x 35mm x 15mm it's a little tight, but has no clearance issues. I don't think you would want to try anything bigger than that.


Also wanted to note that the stock setup is only good for 2s LiPo's...

You're referring to the battery plate for on top of the front axle, correct? Or are you asking what will fit on top of the front upper links?

105mm's? Is that on the battery plate with the servo relocated off to one side? Or is yours (battery) on top of the front links?

I ask 'cause the battery plate I made for mine seems to pretty well fill the area between the wheels, and I only have room for about a 75 or so mm battery.

I had only enough room for a 70mm battery, so I checked out all the batteries on ebay as most have dimensions. The biggest I found was a 1500mh 3s. Havnt had a proper run on this one but I got a couple of 1100mh as well and they last about 20ins each (havnt exactly timed it).
Problem is now I have vp knuckles and cvds I cant use all the steering as it hits the battery and servo wheel spacer time..

The battery size I listed was placed on the upper links using the supplied battery plate.

Bigger isn't always better, as I'm sure you are finding out with your clearance issues. You should be able to fit a 1000 - 1300 on the front axle with no problems, and it should give you decent run times. Not sure why you're only getting 20 minutes (I think that's what you meant) out of a 1500, but I get longer than that with my 1300's, and usually only use my 1000's.

I am planning on running the battery on the front axle - from what I can tell the servo is offset as far possible to the right and it also has behind the axle steering

I was actually looking at some batteries that were 70 mm long 22mm wide and 34mm high so it looks like I may have already been on the right track

Thanks guys

I think what your looking for is the 1300 lipo. You got the measurements correctly. I recently had the same questions and thats the conclusion I had.

Nik6189 11-05-2011 03:42 AM

The estimated 20mins run time was with the 1300 I still havnt run a full 1500 pack as I keep breaking!
Saying that the actual deminsions of the 800mh ad 1500mh are very close. I got the 800s second hand so not sure what run time youd get on a new one but I get about 10mins out of them.
