Measure how much room you have, then go shopping. Most reputable battery retailers list measurements.

i did measure but i dont want to buy one and have it not fit like i did once because i relied on the specs on a website. iam looking for one that people already have tried and i know to fit. i dont like the trial and error thing when spending this much on batteries

I used to run an 1800mah 30c Thunder Power in mine. Fit nice and lasted hours.

They are sketchy on anything over 6 volts I heard. Your experience? Did you run a BEC off the lipo then to the radio?

Nope. I sold the radio and battery setup to JermeyH. If he still has it he could measure it for you. It fits in the radio no problem, even with the Reedy 6.0v regulator.
Search the specs on google, I am sure you can find it somewhere.

Stormer has some.

Gilbert the 2200 2s flightmax packs fit but the wires are a bit big. I can get you a link when i get home. I cut them off and replace with 20 ga. Yeah more work but whatever. J.B was using some 2500 2s packs with small wires and JST plug installed but cant remember the brand. Post up on Warcrc or shoot him a PM.

This would be a perfect one, it will fit. I just bought a bunch of Hyperion lipo's and love them. Pretty cheap for a quality lipo too.

Big wire but will fit with slight trimming or rewrapping and shrinking.

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=16778

Will fit as is smaller wire 14 ga a bit big if you run a JST on you bec.

Both in stock in the USA wharehouse so you should get them in 1-2 days. Whatever you run make sure you unplug the bec from the battery or it will drain it down over time and possibly damage your lipo.

I said I'd do that too, until one day I didn't and wiped out a pack. Now there is a big sticker across the top of mine that says "BATTERY!!!!".
