|  Small lipo choices??
So ive been wasting time trying to fit my newbright jk body with a full size lipo battery, ive got it to fit but dont like how it sits (think its to high and its sideways) so what choices do i have for a smaller lipo pack with out losing runtime?

Only way you're not going to lose runtime, is by maintaining the same mAh you're running now. So you're either going to have to.... run Saddle Packs the same mAh rating as you have now, or run multiple smaller 'crawler style' packs in parallel. |

saddle packs are more than i want to spend. i dont need 1 hr run times but i dont want 10 min either. does the mah ratings just doube when 2 of those smaller packs are put together in parallel?

Yes, when in parallel, the voltage remains the same, "C" rating does not change, but mAh adds up.

do you charge them at the same time using the combined mah rating?

| Re: Small lipo choices?? Para-boards are available for parallel charging, and some say they work great. I'm slow to trust things I don't fully understand, so I still go through mine one pack at a time. (but I do charge at 2C, so it winds up nearly the same, time-wise, as doing both packs at once) |

Set it up with an easy to reach and change smaller pack. One that runs, maybe a half hour. When that one runs down, stop for a few seconds and swap it for a fresh one. Carry a few if you need to stay out longer.

Don't think you're going to find much of a 2s batt in that size...
