Measure how much room you have, then go shopping. Most reputable battery retailers list measurements. "thumbsup"

i did measure but i dont want to buy one and have it not fit like i did once because i relied on the specs on a website. iam looking for one that people already have tried and i know to fit. i dont like the trial and error thing when spending this much on batteries

I used to run an 1800mah 30c Thunder Power in mine. Fit nice and lasted hours.

They are sketchy on anything over 6 volts I heard. Your experience? Did you run a BEC off the lipo then to the radio?

 

[CrawlHer]

do you happen to remember where you purchased it from War Pig?


my bec is setup between the lipo and radio. plug battery into bec and bec is always plugged into the radio. bec is set to 6v

do you happen to have dimensions on the battery you used? reedy says they are out of stock.

Nope. I sold the radio and battery setup to JermeyH. If he still has it he could measure it for you. It fits in the radio no problem, even with the Reedy 6.0v regulator.
Search the specs on google, I am sure you can find it somewhere.

Stormer has some.

Gilbert the 2200 2s flightmax packs fit but the wires are a bit big. I can get you a link when i get home. I cut them off and replace with 20 ga. Yeah more work but whatever. J.B was using some 2500 2s packs with small wires and JST plug installed but cant remember the brand. Post up on Warcrc or shoot him a PM.

i texted JB last night and he is using some packs from fusion-pack.com but there website seems to be down. those are the ones i wanted to use. do you happen to know what batteries diamond dave uses in his react?

if you can get me a link that would be great.

Thanks

This would be a perfect one, it will fit. I just bought a bunch of Hyperion lipo's and love them. Pretty cheap for a quality lipo too.

Big wire but will fit with slight trimming or rewrapping and shrinking.

Will fit as is smaller wire 14 ga a bit big if you run a JST on you bec.

Both in stock in the USA wharehouse so you should get them in 1-2 days. Whatever you run make sure you unplug the bec from the battery or it will drain it down over time and possibly damage your lipo.

I said I'd do that too, until one day I didn't and wiped out a pack. Now there is a big sticker across the top of mine that says "BATTERY!!!!".
