Battery suggestions

[smoedog]

What are you guys using for battery packs on your rigs. I'm converting a crawler king into a rock racer/crawler using a blown up mantis chassis. Don't know how I'm gonna kit a standard hard pack in there. I have 2 20c 1300packs I was thinking bout running in parallel. They are maybe 1.5 x 2.5in. I'm looking for something along these lines. And suggestions.

I would be interested to know what a "blown up" Mantis chassis is and how you are going to convert a CK into one.

I ended up scaling it up 140% before printing it out

Ahhhh...."Blown up" = "enlarged based off a standard chassis"......

Your current 20C 1300mah packs will likely lack punch if you have decent motors in the rig, I would look for 45C+ for that capacity.

If you're comping, a ~400mah 3S pack is enough for a course or 2. If going that small, I would look for 65C+.

My 850mah 3S packs can get me 2 courses+, but I usually swap between runs anyway.

Ya. I'm not chomping just bashing. I'll see if I can find a couple 1500 40c and wire them parallel and see how it goes
