I haven't measured my packs against the specs but I would say they are more accurate than Hobbyking on their published specs.

You may be able to fit 2 of the 2200 packs in the tray, I'll have to check on that when I get home.

Edit: I remember some build on here used this pack in their Ascender.

2 2200mah 3s packs are a tight fit but not bad at all. 4400mah of 3s runtime or 6s power if you are sadistic.

That's what I was thinking HK measurements are sometimes off.

Hmmmm....6S, love it! Those fit nicely looks like, only worry is will they hit the motor when suspension compresses. My 3S packs are little too long and I put them in diagonally and then they hit motor slightly during suspension compression which is not good for softpack lipo.

Oooh, you could also do a pair of 2S for 4S, that would be nice.

I got front end done last night will take pics tonight then assemble everything and get it ready to play. I am very happy with the gpm products everything lined up great everything came with new hardware i have not extended frame i will do that next week so all in all the only bad spot on all my bolt ons so far was the shocks but that was my fault for not checking the caps lots of pics tonight of finshed product before i play

Wheels and tires look good! BTW, your upper shock mounts need to use a ball mount (like stock) or a piece of fuel line as a bushing (and don't over-tighten mounting screw) so that when the axle articulates (flexes) the upper shock mount can swivel a bit and not bind the shock shaft. Otherwise your suspension will bind and shocks will wear and leak much quicker.
