Bomber Batteries

[UncleJohn]

The best fit is a Lectron Pro 5200mAh 50C 2S. I also use a Floureon 5000mAh 55C 3S, and a Turnigy 3000mAh 30C 3S. When I want to go light weight I wrap some cardboard around a 2000mAh 3S and sometimes a 1350mAh 3S for some great crawling. It's not hard changing batteries on a Bomber.

I heard good things about GensAce batteries and I picked up their 4000mAH 3S packs. So far its been great with a good snug but not tight fit.

I'm using a ZOPpower 3500mah 4s. It gives me plenty of runtime, but most of all I am impressed that it sat for literally 18months and was able to be revived from 7 volts without puffing. It barely barely fits in the battery compartment. But it fits. And they are $30-ish, IIRC. I also have a Venom 4000mah 3s which has worked well, too. It is several years old and sat like the 4s, but didn't discharge as badly. It was also able to be revived successfully. It fits with plenty of room to spare.

I have been using 3S and 4S SMC hardcase packs - 4300mAh and 3600mAh respectively, both fit fine. Excellent batteries!

I use venom 2s 5000mah 35c hard case batteries, fits like a glove in my bomber.

Also I don’t like to “see” the batteries in the firewall area of my bomber or in the front wheel wells of my scx10 so I take an old mountain bike inner tube and cut a sleeve for my batteries making them all but disappear when installed.

Also the rubber sleeve helps prevent the batteries from rattling around in the battery tray of my stampede 4x4.

I have 4 of these batteries and they fit all of my rc’s

3-4hr run times in the scx10, haven’t had a chance to run a full pack through the bomber yet so can’t report on run times for that yet.

Using the ae5 speed controller and a titan 21t 550 so hoping for about an hour in the bomber.

Go for 3s
You will get more than 2x that time and the 550 will really wake up

Looking at 3s LiPo options and found this - measurements suggest it is smaller than my present NiMh - is that usual for LiPo batteries?

It seems big for the bomber. I use venom hardcase 3300mah 3s and they take the full tray.

Anyone know first hand if these packs will fit in the bomber tray? Want to get a few ordered but if they don’t fit I’ll go a different route. Thanks
