Just got mine and def top heavy. Need to get the weight lower. Seems too narrow and long in stock config. I bought it for the worm gears and electronics and could care less about the looks.

So I'm looking into what batteries might be a good replacement for the stock ones (I have a bad one and it sounds fairly common with others). I'm looking for one that's similar weight and dimensions ideally. So far the best fit seems like a E Flight 450 mah, but I'm still waiting till I measure the stock battery https://www.amainhobbies.com/eflite-...02sj30/p147151 The E Flight battery specs:W L H= 29.2x54x10.2 and weighs 1 oz But I only checked RPP and Amains Has anyone else found a good replacement battery?

Im using this one with a JST connector I soldered to it. We have the length no problem IF using stock battery placement. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The next one I think I might try is this... https://www.amazon.com/Gens-ace-Batt...gateway&sr=8-7 But I'm also using a wire adapter from my stock ESC that becomes JST instead of the small white plug (no clue what its called). | |

I think that white plug is a PH 2.0. That 2nd one linked is the heaviest one I've seen so far at 1.7 oz, most of the others are close to 1 oz. I personally dont think that I need the extra capacity, I seem to get 45 minutes or so run time with the stock 350 mah. BTW Amain has both of those batteries for less (IMHO Amazon is a terrible place to shop for most RC stuff) https://www.amainhobbies.com/gens-ac...-b1007/p578767 https://www.amainhobbies.com/tattu-2...p-xt30/p635608 Quote: I know the old put some BB's in the tires trick has been cast aside now but I wonder if that might actually work good on a mini. After all the stock wheels dont even use a foam. I also started looking for a sub micro servo and remembered that Amain (Eco Power) just released a sub micro servo for the TRX-4. At the time they released I was thinking well thats just too much torque for the diffs and 2 speed on the TRX-4 but hey this might be nice for this application. It has 64 oz in/13 kg cm which looks to be roughly twice as powerful as most. Though I wasn't able to find any specs on the Axial AS-1 servo so I dont have a point of reference. The Eco Power 640 is unfortunately one of the most expensive sub micro servo's at $29. https://www.amainhobbies.com/ecopowe...p-640t/p859667 Last edited by HumboldtEF; 06-04-2019 at 07:10 PM. | |

JST is the manufacturer, not the style of plug so the white battery and motor plug on the SCX24 (also same motor plug for most micro crawlers) is the JST PH 2.0 and the red JST plug on many lipos like the RC4WD is a JST RCY. For micro battery packs I've been using ValueHobby GeForce packs since the Losi micro days and they've been great. I happened to have this 350mah for $4.50 with the same specs and dimensions, but it's currently out of stock (check the email reminder) http://www.valuehobby.com/30c-350mah-2s-jst.html Another option is this 500mah for $5.55 It's the same length and width, just a little thicker, but stilt fits under the body while giving an extra 150mah. http://www.valuehobby.com/power-syst...h-2s-lipo.html If you want something around the same capacity for cheap this 350mah is only $3.60 http://www.valuehobby.com/power-syst...0mah-lipo.html Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk |

This is the 350mah I had laying around. Identical in size and spec. That 500mah is the same, but thicker. Still fits under the body however. Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk |

Lots more good info, I'd keep the 2S lipo around stock size as it's getting good runtime and keeps the weight down. Buy a couple if you want more time. That AMain Ecopower servo sounds good, gotta pay to play sometimes and if it lasts, it's worth not replacing cheap crap 3-4 times. |

I'm usually a fan of the smallest size pack for the intended run time. 90% of my micro lipos are 350mah about the shape of the Losi Micro NIMH and get me roughly 30 minutes depending on the rig, terrain, and driving which imo is plenty especially when you have spares to swap. I do however like my flat cell packs like the GeForce and scx24 dynamite. They fit well nice and low. I've run GeForce packs in my micros and 1/10 for many years without failures (excluding one that was my fault) but for micros I've also run HobbyKing, Rhino, and TURNIGY nanotech. That $17 e-flight is pretty expensive for such a small pack compared that 5$ pack. I don't think the extra 2c charging rate with 100mah less capacity is worth an extra $12 Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk |

| Re: New Axial scx 24 deadbolt I just made a small slit in the inner sidewall large enough for a bb to fit through. I made mine right in the middle T in Nitto. And after shoving 20 bb’s in each wheel then another 10, then removing those 10, none of the holes ripped any further. It’ll close itself right back up and you’ll never tell it was there. I guess if you’re worried about it or plan on running through water you could put a dab of rubber cement over the slit if you so inclined.

The more I look and read on this thing the more I want one. Even the individual parts at Horizon are competitively priced. Axles and tranny for about $65. I personally like the pizza cutter tires. If the wheels are slightly smaller then the tires should be, too. I’m ordering a set to play around white on my couple of rigs. |
