What battery are you currently using? Where do you want to move your battery? On the AX-10 many people run their batteries either on the front axle or a tray mounted on the top links. If you want to run a lipo battery (highly recommended) you are going to be limited by space. Figure out where you want to put your battery and make a few measurements, then go shopping. Here are some places to buy batteries: www.cheapbatterypacks.com (lipo and NiMH) www.valuehobby.com www.hobbypartz.com www.hobbyking.com |

Also knowing if this is a fun rig or comp rig as well helps us help you. Do you have a LiPO capable charger? How much run time/pack are you looking for? How heavy is your rig? A 3S LiPO for a comp rig may be ~800 - 1000MAH. |

I was looking at a battery like this...http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/pro...V-2S-pack.aspx. i like the compact design of it. Quote:
Currently im using a 3300 maH 7.4v ni-mH battery. I definately want to go to lipo power. I havent quite decided exactly where i will mount the battery but it will be a tight fit im sure. Thanks for the websites! | ||
