will this battery fit in stock location, as well as behind firewall?

[ussprinceton2004]

I need to order a 3s lipo and was looking at Sky brands at hobbypartz.com...Will this fit the stock (kit version) battery location? Here is a link for a 4000 mAh with the dimensions listed: SKY LIPO 4000mAh 40C 11.1V Hardcase Lipo battery pack

...what about this 5000 mAh? It is 6.76mm thicker, 0.19mm wider, and 0.37 longer, than the 4000 mAh from above.

...here is the link for the 5000 mAh: SKY LIPO 5000mAh 40C 11.1V Hardcase Lipo battery pack

Within this same subject, if those two batteries fit the stock kit location, I will try running the wraith with the weight toward the back and see if I like it. However, if I want to try and move the weight to the front, by moving the two batteries I mentioned, will they fit Bender's battery tray mod? Here's the link to Bender's mod: Step by Step Wraith Kit Build - Part VII - Electronics Install

All answers/input/suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

It's not looking good for either.
The Wraith stock battery tray in the rear is 145mm x 44.5mm wide x 23mm high. The limiting factor to the height is due to a cross brace. A shorter LiPo (102mm) could go a lot higher. The opening in front of the dash is 150mm (max) x 36mm wide x 55mm high and Bender's contraption will take up a few mm of height and length, but not much.

You could stack two 2200's in the front area or one in the back and one in the front and run them in parallel.

..I've read some posts of wraith owners here that have 3000 to 5000 range 3s lipo batteries...could someone please provide links online to the largest mAh 3s that will fit in the stock kit location, as well as behind the firewall (Bender mod)?..

Im not sure about the hardcase, but im pretty sure it wont fit.


I'm running these in front of the firewall Sky Lipo 4400mAh 11.1V 30C with no issues. Fit right in that slot like it was designed for it.. I also use a modified (just cut up, trimmed down) CKRC Battery tray https://www.ckrccrawlers.com/ckrc-ba...339fec40f4bb22 but you could easily make your own..

A friend is using these Sky Lipo 5000mAh 11.1V 30C - tight fit, but drop right in.


Everyone's got their own opinion on C rating as well, whats needed, what isn't blah blah blah - I get the highest that's within my budget, At a minimum 20c - again, IMO.

will the Sky 3s 4400 30C battery you linked from HobbyPartz.com fit in the stock (kit) battery location?

Hey boat guy. I gave you the dimensions of both compartments so YOU can figure out what LiPo will fit. Now your in two threads asking the same question.

If you're confused, just take the dimensions I gave you yesterday and check the battery size on whatever website you desire and see if it will fit.

Rocket science? Nah.

[crawlhog]

check the specs of the batteies VS were you want to put it and that will answer your questions. like SOLITAIRE said , not rocket science.

yes they will fit. my brother ran the sky lipo 4000mah hardcase, i ran the 4400mah hardcase. they will fit the stock battery location, but it's tight. they fit under the hood just fine. i was getting over an hour and a half runtimes with my brushless motor also!!

Nope. But i did show you a picture of my 4400, and did mention the 5000 fits.. And you can see with the information provided on the website they are very similar in size..
