FMS Atlas 6X6 spare battery?

[lightbg]

Has anyone been able to source this? I believe the Kitana also uses this size, but a Google search reveals nothing. Also, I’d like to use my charger instead of the USB supplied, but I can’t locate the 2 pin Molex connector for the power connector.

Thanks in advance.

Same battery as the HobbyPlus CR-18. Others should fit fine and the battery box will easily unscrew.
The plug is JST DS 2 pin.
Fwiw the SCX24 and others uses the JST PH 2.0 2 pin, and the popular red JST is JST-RCY

Thanks to a tip from Spoo76 about the ValueHobby Geforce lipos, I went ahead and ordered two of their 2 cell 7.4 800mAh 30C batteries. They are taller than the originals and about 8mm longer, but also 200mAh more powerful. I had to install the JST DS 2 pin connectors and grind off the rear panel of the stock battery tray to fit the longer battery, but everything fits fine. Cab clearance is maintained similar to stock, and there is no issue with the magnetic clamp for the cab. For $6.00 USD its a quick and easy swap.

Size difference:


Tray modification:


Geforce installed showing overhang:


Battery installed and secured:


Plenty of clearance"

Hi,
if one really wants "stock batteries" with this "Tamiya style plug", you can get them at Asiatees.
However, changing plugs is probably the better solution.
