| Deadbolt battery tray dimensions and lipo suggestions
Howdy friends, Anyone have a clue on what size the battery compartment is for the lime green deadbolt? Think it’s the gen1 edition. And maybe if you all have any suggestions on brands? I’ve used SMC in the past and thought highly of them. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Don't remember the exact dimensions but the stock SCX10 tray has plenty of length and width for most full size lipo packs (140ish mm L X 50ish mm W) and the height is really only limited by the diameter the velcro straps can hold. There are a few really high capacity out there that are longer than most batteries, just stay away from those and you should have no problem finding something that fits your truck and budget. As for batteries, I'm partial to the Helios 3000mah 3S packs since they are about the size and weight of the average 2200mah have but almost 40% more capacity. |

Thank you, sir! I noticed you called out the “stock battery tray.” Do most folks modify or relocate the tray? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Hi again, friend, do you need a BEC to run 3S? Few folks have mentioned that now. May just stick to 2S in the meantime if running more cells will require further modifications. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

However, a BEC is good to add to pretty much any setup because it will provide your servo with all the power it could need. This becomes more important when you upgrade the servo to something more powerful than the stock servo. | |

I say 2s to start then step up to 3s. This accomplishes two things. 1. You find out whether you got a bad batch on something it definitely can handle 2. You have room to grow into the excitement that higher voltage brings |

Found two SMC’s that I like: 3S 4500mAh 85Amps/90c and the 2S 7400mAh 149 Amps/90C You think these rascals would work well? Just say Send It and go the 3S route? Or one of each? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
