| Capra Battery Thread
Which LiPo batteries have you found to fit in the stock, unmodified battery tray in the Capra without having to jam them in there with lube? Photos and links are a bonus. I'm using Goldbat 3S 1500mAh LiPos and there is plenty of room left so I'm looking for something slightly bigger. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GDYMF3X/ |

Hobbyking zippy pack 2200mah 3s fits tightly. Was also able to squeeze in the Helios 3500mah 3s shorty packs this was super tight but it tucked in. Protek 3600mah lihv 3s fits too. |

ProTek 3600mAh 3S LiHV. This is an older battery, the newer ones (pretty sure they're the same size) are 4100mAh. Tucks in pretty snug. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |

I'm sticking to my 1550mah 3s 45c Tattu. Anything bigger is just unneeded weight IMO.

It looks like SMC has a 3S 4000mAh 50C pack if their specs are to be believed. It's not cheap at $40 though. https://www.smc-racing.net/index.php...product_id=557 |

Ordered 2 Turnigy Nanotech 2S shorty packs. $38 for both. Should just fit, have a few mm to spare in each direction.

SMC cuts out the "middlemen"...they are the manufacturer...so there no additional markup. That's how they keep their prices low. The "downside" (albeit, a very minimal one) is that you usually have to wait a little longer to receive them. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | |

I can also confirm that the Reedy WolfPack Hard Case Shorty 2S 3000mAh fits without any problems. It's tight enough that it's not going to move around, but easy enough to remove. It comes with a Deans Ultra connector...but, for those that want something else, changing the connector to whatever you want is easy enough. Still waiting for the Gens Ace Adventure batteries (3S) to arrive. Will update on fitment once they arrive. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place Last edited by Panther6834; 10-09-2019 at 06:29 PM. |

These are my Zippy packs. I assume these got replaced with the yellow version. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/zippy-fl...-3s1p-40c.html Quote:

The Gens Ace Adventure battery is expensive for a budget brand like Gens Ace. But if it fits that's a lot of mAh in there. | |||

Definitely relevant to battery fitment: how/where are you guys routing your power connection to the esc? I've got a 2200mah 3s from Value Hobby that just squeezes into the tray, but the power wires must exit straight up since there's no room to tuck them into the battery tray. That hasn't been a problem for me yet since I haven't put the body on yet, but I need a tidier and better accessible solution than feeding it through the windshield! Do you just run it under the center of the tray, then loop it back into the battery compartment from the front?

I have not got my Rig yet. Can I ask what is the max Length I can use to put inside this space for the Batter? I was looking at these packs from Promatch 3s (11.1V) 5200 mah 45C hardwired soft case lipo pack https://promatchracing.com/product/3...ase-lipo-pack/ 139mm, 5.47″ L x 45mm, 1.77″ W x 28mm, 1.10″ H Thank you for your time.

Axial says the max size is 98mm x 47mm x 26mm but there is a couple mm extra space depending on how the wires exit the pack. | |

This is other idea. I know with some Sanwa radio people have wired up this Panasonic 18650B 3400mah 3.7v Rechargeable Li-ion Battery https://rcdude.com/panasonic-18650b-...ttery-2pc.html Wire up 3 cells and it will save weight just a idea. Again thank you all. | |
