Hi, I bought the bronco yesterday. I'm curious, if you have a scale, do you mind weighing your rig once it's completed? I'm interested in seeing if and how much your weight increased due to all of the upgrades. Thanks.

I looked and didn't find any hardcase shorty 3S packs...unfortunately...but there are packs that will fit the tray, just have to sort through the batttery dimensions on HobbyKing, SMC, Value Hobby, etc. Better a tiny bit short than too long.

I use these 2 packs in my Ascender, both fit the stock tray easily:

GForce Elite Series 30C 2600mAh 3S 11.1V LiPO (T-Connector)

GForce 30C 2200mAh 3S 11.1V LiPO (T Connector)

Are their pack dimensions pretty accurate? Have you found any around 4000mah that fit?
