5000 mAh NiMH in CC01

[raymate]

Hi,

Using NiMHs and have a few different packs, mainly Duratrax.

Just got a 5000 mAh Duratrax Onyx and it will not fit, saying that I can jam it is but it gets stuck. Measuring it it's a few mm bigger than my 3000 mAh Duratrax Onyx.

There website does not give sizes of the batteries.

Anyone else using a 5000 NiMH that fits OK, what brand is it.

I emailed Duratrax and they didnt respond.

The reason I use Duratrax is they are sold in most of the hobby store locally so easy to pick up. And so far there 3000 and 2000 packs I use for me I have been very happy with

Any recommendations for 4000 or 5000 that are not a snug fit.

Thanks

You could always dremel down some of the curved ribs a bit if that's where it's getting stuck. I just squared the whole battery compartment off so that I could fit a larger hardpack lipo.

I wouldn't go for a 5000 NiMH anyway... cells with more than 3000/3500 mAh are way over their capacity limit and need a lot of attention charging/discharging and don't last very long. At least that's my experience
