LiPo pack that fits the Slickrock?
 

I like the way the Slickrock looks, but I run all my other vehicles on LiPo, and I'd like to keep it that way. Does anyone make a LiPo pack that fits the Slickrock?

Re: LiPo pack that fits the Slickrock?
 

They make lipo's to fit anything.. Just depends on how much room you have and how long you want to run it per battery..

I run nanotech 300mah 2s packs, in my mini.. 8 minutes or so, per pack.

I run a Mad Dog RC 1300mAh 2s is my son's Slick Rock. I run it low inside the body/chassis. Also relocacted all the electronics to the fuel cell and mounted it high in the rear of the chassis just in front of the rear shock mounts.

8 minutes isn't nearly enough. I'm looking for at least 1600mAh.

I use a zippy 850mah installed inside the body (the lowest and most forward as possible)
crawling (not scaling) 30/35 min per pack

30-35min is pretty good runtime for such a small battery. What's the top speed of your Slickrock? 3-4mph or thereabouts?

It would be nice if I could fit a MERV LiPo into the Slickrock. That's got 2000mAh of capacity, so it would probably run that vehicle for an hour.

Re: LiPo pack that fits the Slickrock?
 

I get nearly an hour out of my 130mah. Don't really needed any bigger than that.

Re: LiPo pack that fits the Slickrock?
 

I never calculated the speed.
For me, it seems the same as the original batery (maybe even a little faster)
when crawling, speed does not matter (as opposed to scaling)

the advantage of lipo 850 is its weight (only 44gr) and, thanks to its small size, the ability to put it in the bottom of the body to lower the center of gravity

130 or 1300?

Well, I ended up figuring out that the Duratrax Onyx 2000mAh LiPo packs for the MERV fit snugly in the Slickrock, turned sideways. I built a battery tray to hold the battery securely just behind where the windshield would be.
