Most of the good online store offer return policy, you can try to contact hobby King and arrange with them?

Hey Teng, yeah they'll take them back luckily but I had to pay for shipping. I need to check the size of these batteries more carefully before I order them apparently.

I'm gonna give this guy a try, the measurements look right for the tf2 and I like how the wire terminals are facing upwards instead of up against the body - http://a.co/e7hZM9f

Anyone know if the newer Traxxas 5800 2S lipo batteries (the one with Traxxas's "ID" plug) will fit the in the TF2? At the moment all my batteries are these Traxxas 2S lipos and would like to keep it that way.

JoeR6 that’s a huge battery, Id run something smaller and lighter. It’s easier to fit physically and less weight up high, truck will crawl much better.

I’m going to use Protek 3600mah 3s lihv with battery tray flipped so battery forward. Don’t think it will fit rear positions under the bed due to thickness.

Edit, truck balances better with battery tray towards the rear, now my Protek batteries are too thick Looking for good 3S lipo to fit.

I also had a hard time finding a battery that would fit. I have venom 4000 3s batteries that have treated me good. One of the lhs guys hooked me up with them. Got with no problems.

The dimensions on that turnigy battery (138x47x23mm) isn't too far off from the Traxxas 5800 2cell lipo (135x45x25mm)

I'm sure mine is much cheaper than the Traxxas battery and has a higher C-rating to boot.

I'm only using the RC4WD stock dash and the optional RC4WD seat with driver and this battery works no problem. I don't have the full right-hand-drive interior from the LWB in mine.

OK will do. One of my friends is going to paint some of the details for me so it might be a week or so.
