LIPO question for wraithzilla chasis

[slapjack]

I am going to have a wraithzilla chasis in about a week and I am wondering where the best spot is to mount the electronics and LIPO. I am also wondering what mah 3cell LIPO I can get that will fit. I think Lue builds a cradle in the front area under the hood just behind the firewall so I think that is where it will be going.
I am also trying to figure out where to put the receiver. I was looking at theatres alum fuel cell from rc4wd. But I am also considering some other box that is waterproof. What is a good option? I will be conformal coating my Rx circuit board so I maybe able to still use the alum fuel cell but not sure yet

Check out my Wraithzilla build page Vera + Mattzilla = Verazilla!. I made an aluminum hanger to put the ESC and the battery straps in nicely up front. I shoved all the electronics in a rear mounted project box. A fuel cell might work if you just have a receiver.

What MAH 3s should I run? Will something like a 5000mah fit? Or even something bigger or will I need like a 2200 or something small like that?i will most likely have it under the hood area

A 5000 mAh 3s definitely won't fit. I run these 2200s and there's some room to spare so you could go a little larger if you want, 2800 mAh should fit easily.

I have a 3400mah hardcase that barely fits behind the firewall- it puts a bulge in the hood. I carry it as a spare. My 2200 lasts over an hour which is usually plenty for me. Its effin hot out!

Ok thanks guys. I guess I'll get a couple 2200s what brand is normal for crawling and trail riding? I come from a racing background and use mostly Smc, Trakpower, orca, etc... But I don't think they make that low of mah packs.
I found this. Is this what a lot of people use?
