MRC pro lipo

[JEB21]

I want to run a lipo up front on my pro that has just been ordered. Anyone have any other similar options to the 600mah overpriced Losi lipo that drops right in there.

I don't want to have to move everything around to cram some maxamps 800mah batts Ive already got.

Is the Losi battery the only thing out there in that nice little square shape???

A number of us are running a 2S 325mah LiPO from CheapBatteryPacks.com
It's tiny and can do 2 comp courses, but we all have 3 packs so we only do a single course per pack.

I fit a 2S Nano-Tech 800 or G-Force 800 (both 25 to 35C) on the front upper links. Weight is forward and doesn't impede the suspension at all. Once I moved the battery there I centered the servo and gained turning radius since the tires no longer hit the servo or battery.

I'm currently running the esc and and RX on the links on my MRC tuber right now but I was hoping to avoid that with the Pro. How are you mounting the batt to the front uppers?

Make a mounting tray out of scrap lexan, zip tie the plate to the links, add a little Velcro... All set

That's exactly how everyone I know does it.

I went out on a limb and got two zippy lipo 180mah off ebay for 5.00 shipped I hope its enough to run a course and should fit beside the servo

Here shots of battery on pro first 2 same position differtent camera angle. It is 360mah rhino Have yet to get chance to run down in 1go on the rocks 2 diff sessions on the rocks were at 11-12min total probably more wasn't really paying attention. Works for me for now I have some loose cells coming going to attempt a 2s2p 480mah

Don't feel like you have to run them on the front, you can run batteries on the rear with no negative effects. They weigh almost nothing and this can be a substitute for additional rear wheel weights.

I just got 4 of their 450 2S packs...I thought I ordered 2. Just wired up all new Deans and got my new Hyperion Balance Board yesterday for them. I plan to run it on my front links and put the receiver on the side. Currently my receiver is on my front links, and I was running a 700 2s on the side. I liked how it balanced the motor, but felt it was just too heavy and I really didn't need 45+ minutes of run time. The Gens Ace packs are almost half the weight.

I ran it a little bit last night, and they were great. I couldn't believe how cheap they were...I think $3.25 each? That's probably why I bought 4 instead of 2

I just ran this 450 at lunch and got 28 minutes out of it.

Do these packs have a balance tap that works with the Hyperion chargers tap? I've got the balance board for 2s-6s packs.
