At basically the same price, and ~19% more capacity, it seems like a no brainer to use the 4300 over the 3600 if you're looking for max endurance. |

Re: Capra Battery Thread Forgot to post what I'm using. The HobbyStar 3S 3700mah LiPo battery fits perfectly! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...72255d19_b.jpg |
Re: Capra Battery Thread Figure I would etch this bit of knowledge into the internet for anyone else looking. Bought a Dynamite 2S 4000mAh battery from LHS just to get things running. It barely fit out of the box. And by barely I mean it didn’t really fit or work.... https://i.imgur.com/PQL4q3ol.jpg You really had to cram it in there and you also had to push all the wires through the firewall just to get the hood to close. So....I ripped it’s hard case off. https://i.imgur.com/EmKINH6l.jpg And now it fits fairly well. At $45 a pop I’m not sure it’s really worth it. I plan on going 3S anyway but figure this will be good knowledge for anyone seeking a simple or cheaper solution. https://i.imgur.com/sJWHz4vl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JTt4SoJl.jpg |
Re: Capra Battery Thread Can someone enlighten me. I have the RTR, with that IC3 connector. I'm not buying a new charger. Is there something that works adapter wise or am I changing it to deans? Help!!!! |

Re: Capra Battery Thread So I can get a EC3 male to deans plug that will fit into that stupid IC3 connector and I'm golden like Ponyboy? Anybody have issues with bullet/banana plug style batteries fitting into the battery box or do I need to run a wired deans unit only? Pushing 2 mos. and she's never had juice put through it. |

I think you need something like this. https://www.rcplanet.com/spektrum-ic...g-2-spmxca317/ Note the IC3 connector have a 3rd wire for SMART data. I really like the idea of auto discharge to storage voltage the Spektrum SMART batteries offer, currently converting all my rigs to IC3 or EC3 for older none Spektrum batteries / ESC. |
Capra Battery Thread Another with the dynamite 2s4000mah lipo for the dynamite esc that have ic3. I ran the esc harness under the bulkhead into the batt tray. Balance harness fits nicely to the side with the batt wires up and over the front. Also, I replaced the long hood hinge screws with ones that don’t poke through digging into the wires as seen. Rtr came that way. Does the kit have the same screws that protrude? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...35f21fd3f6.jpg Some wire slack is pushed forward so the hood sits down. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c0527e4e64.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Capra Battery Thread Currently running the 3S 1500mAh Goldbat batteries off of Amazon. They fit with room to spare and last about 30min easily. At this price for two I really don’t need anything else. GOLDBAT 1500mAh 3S 11.1V 100C... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZFDJWR1...p_mob_ap_share https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7e20cd20f8.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f006260338.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4f5d93b58f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1fa012a712.jpg |
Capra Battery Thread A needed mod for my battery tray. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ff1990d0fb.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d60d29995c.jpg What’s left of the front bulk head with an added piece to tie them together and keep the battery off the trans. The screw holes line up with the holes for the wire hold downs on the bottom of the tray. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bf1139b1a5.jpg The dash actually keeps the battery from moving back to far. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...989edbb2fb.jpg Room for lunch now with the battery lower and laying flat. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...990ce72cb3.jpg That is the same battery pictured from my other post above with room to grow now. It falls in and rotates back into its tray above the trans. |
Capra Battery Thread This would be good for batteries that were too fat or too tall for for the Capra tray by a little bit. It still needs room to maneuver down in there. No real length gained but I cut it to still hold my battery snug side to side. |
Re: Capra Battery Thread Just curious, but doesn't that mod make it difficult (very difficult, by the looks of it) to insert & remove the battery? ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place [emoji1690] |
Re: Capra Battery Thread Looks simple enough to reach in from below and push the battery forward and pop it out like a Pez. |
Capra Battery Thread The strut rod between the shocks made it very difficult just to plug it in before this. It’s not difficult. I do use a finger up from below to guide the battery in or out to help rotate it. This case was/is a tight fit. I don’t mind the extra step. Once in place there is more room to connect and store the cable. Edit. Correct brake weight |
Re: Capra Battery Thread One could remove the bulk head just see how their battery would fit. There is a nut on the front of the tranny that spins with the running gear and wouldn’t react well to LiPo. Add plastic to prevent any possible battery contact with that nut. |
Capra Battery Thread Motor swap day. Here is a pic of about how the battery sits from here. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a5f11fbe83.jpg |

Re: Capra Battery Thread Quiet thread back to life. Yes a Gens ace 4300 will fit. I actually went with a couple 4100 LiHV from ProTek. 2 of 3 dimensions are the same, just each cell is a little thinner making the ~2mm thinner in that front-back measure in the battery box. |
