Then why not just order the Axial 13T, 12T and/or 11T? They should be off the same metal, right?

My money says they are the same material.

Exactly my point. Axial/Horizon Hobby is sending me the 11T (free) for having brought another error to their attention. If the 14T towns out to be "too fast", and the 11T towns out to be "too slow", gonna have to figure out whether to get the 12T or 13T. Hopefully, the 11T hits the 'sweet spot' (will be running Mamba X w/ 2280kV Slate, on both 2S & 3S).

be so kind to tell me exact type of baterry and is possible position pictures? many thanks

Floureon 35c 3s 1500mah packs (borrowed for test fit) fit with plenty of room for wires next to it in the battery tray: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-3S-11-1V...8AAOSw5TtdR82s

I also have a pair of these Zeee 100c 3s 1500mah packs coming to try out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2PCS-1500mA...=1018979275025

My Value Hobby/Gforce 30c 3s 2200mah fits in the battery compartment with a little pressure, but the wires have to stick up through the hood (currently removed) and connect through the windshield. This is just my temporary solution while I wait for the smaller packs.

Value Hobby/Gforce 30c 3s 1300mah packs (borrowed for test fit) fit easily too: GForce 30C 1300mAh 3S 11.1V LiPO (XT60 Connector) | Value Hobby

What I'm taking away from this is that a 75mm (not 98mm like the full width of the tray) battery is about the right size to still have room for wires and connectors, without having to push on the hood. I'm cheap, so I'm okay with a pocket full of cheap/lower mah batteries instead of one expensive, yet still small, higher mah battery.

Question was directly to Sneetches he wrote "With the battery tray set to fit them snug they are 102mm x 35mm (wide) x 20mm" so I´m consider if my 102 mm batery fits into Capra baterry space.. I didn´t see mounted such as long baterry so far https://haiso.rajce.idnes.cz/Ruzne/#...5C-Baterry.jpg

I will double check the length later. They're these packs: GForce Elite Series 30C 1600mAh 3S 11.1V LiPO | Value Hobby

Perfect if you can upload same battery picture as mine and position of battery in Capra it would be great

[haiso]

Hi Sneetches can you give me pictures ?

I double checked my batteries and despite the listed "102mm" length, they are only 96mm.

[Lashlee]

I'll add that the Gens Ace Adventure 3600mah fits with some extra room to spare.

[volumeknob]

Just figured I'd drop this here, I ordered one, it fits just fine. Smaller @ 1800mah but only $24...I'm fine with it.

Has anyone tried the Goldbat 2200 3S? I have a couple of these floating around already. I'm trying to pre-purchase some of my electronics and accessories prior to getting the kit, but if I can use batteries I already have...

GoldBat 3S

The cables exit more out of the top than the end. Dimensions listed as 104 x 34 x 25.

[elementti]

I have a few 2S shorties. Can I use bullet connectors or is there room only for 'end-leaving' (soft pack) cables?

[JatoTheRipper]

Would this battery work for my Capra with the HobbyWing WP1080 ESC and Reedy Radon 16T 5-slot motor? The C-rating is 17.

I was thinking of buying one to test. bump before I do. Anyone tried these?

Never really looked into the math of this before but your question made me curious, this is what I've come up with.

At a 16C constant burst and 2000mah the battery can safely discharge 32amps continously, with a 60 amp max burst discharge. The HW1080 has a constant draw of 80 amps for forward and 30 amps for reverse. For a crawler with an efficient motor like a 5 slot you could be okay for a while but I'm not sure it would be recommended.

With that in mind, I use 2200mah 25c battery in a 1080 with a 5 slot, which would support a 55 amp continuous draw. I haven't had any problems yet, but usually the capra doesn't see much throttle.

Yeah it seems to be cutting it close for usability in my Capra. Thank you for the math.

No problem, happy to learn something new.

I’ve been using Helios 1500ma 3s in mine with a BRXL and Holmes magnum 540 13T with an 11t pinion and it works well. Doesn’t last a super long time, but i have a few of them and they are lightweight. My Protek 4100ma fits and probably better suited for power, but I only have one, it’s heavier, and use it in my honcho. The Helios 1500 seems to work perfect for the slow crawling that i do.
