Bronco front battery tray size??
 

Can anyone get the x,y,z measurements for the front secondary battery tray with the bronco body on? I'd like to get a 2S battery for that spot before I get home.

I can measure it when I get home if somebody doesn't beat me to it.

Re: Bronco front battery tray size??
 

Yeah thatd be nice. Ive been guessing at the battery size i could fit there. I only have my phone on me and am not aware of an app I can use to get dimensions from a picture that already has some measurements laid out.

Do it right and get this battery, 3S. "thumbsup"

Yeah that battery should fit, Natedog. Thats exactly what Ive been looking for. Thanks for the info.

Re: Bronco front battery tray size??
 

Nice. But 100C, is that a bit much or will it not affect anything? All my other batteries are 20C so I have no idea.

Re: Bronco front battery tray size??
 

The more C, the better, can't hurt anything. :)

Re: Bronco front battery tray size??
 

Motor/ESC only pulls the amps it needs. A higher C rating only means the battery can deliver more current/amps on demand, without any damage to the battery.

Height: 26.5mm from plate to top of inner fenders (nothing on the chassis limits height though)

Width: 95mm measured at center of plate (tough to measure with my calipers. Front edge of inner fender has about a 4mm narrower section for a total of about 8mm narrower at the front)

Depth: 51.6mm front of plate to servo

It's a good looking battery, but I prefer to run full size packs on my trail rigs. Changing batteries is a PITA when you're at the wrong spot and it's so easy to lose clips.

I'm working on my own low profile battery tray. "thumbsup"

Re: Bronco front battery tray size??
 

I'm getting at least 2 hours out of the Protek 3S, larger packs don't crawl as well. I always carry spare body clips, screws, CVDs, spur gear and a few other parts.

Let's see it! :)

Re: Bronco front battery tray size??
 

2 hours out of that battery? Impressive!

I bring spare parts as well, but still.

It's only a solid model that I have at home. I won't post it until it's installed.

Can anyone confirm that the protek battery fits the front tray without modifications? They now sell a 4100 mah for the same $59.99.

The 3600 fit and performed great while it worked, however I lost a cell after only a few months. I believe Natedog also had issues with one of more of these. Just a heads up.

Re: Bronco front battery tray size??
 

I love my protek 3600 I do want to pick up a 4100. My cheap 2200’s usually last 2 hours in my axial rig not sure on run time in the trx but the protek is easily over 2 hours.

Do you have to have a lihv charger or will a LIPO charger work? I have a venom pro from about 10 years ago that still works great.

Re: Bronco front battery tray size??
 

It will work with a normal lipo balance charge but to take advantage of the HV and charge it to 13.05v instead of 12.6v you’d most likely need a lihv capable charger.

I have a keenstone up100AC from Amazon for around $40 that will do LIHV cycles.

Gotcha, thanks. I was looking at it mainly for the size to mah capacity to fit in the tray of the Bronco. The added voltage would just be a bonus. "thumbsup"
