Zippy-R Pack dimensions
 

Hey everyone, I have a question about the Zippy-R packs. I know on HobbyCity it says the packs are 170mm long, but are they really that in the real world? Because I know that when I got my TP packs, it was stated that they were 160mm in length, but in the real world when I got them they measured more like 165... So does anyone know if the Zippy-Rs are really 170mm? I don't want to drop $200+ on three packs if they are going to be too long.
Thanks!

Well it depends where you measure to. I just went and measured mine and I came up with 165mm (6.5") if you measure from the end of the pack to in between the balance and charge plugs. But if I measure from the end of the pack to the end of the shrink wrap around the charge plug leads I get 177mm (7").

So if you were using a low tray so that the balance and charge leads could just hang over the end of the tray, I would say 165mm and then use a velcro strap down the length of the pack in between the 2 plugs.

I have not been able to run this pack yet because of a faulty charger I recieved so I cannot give you any performance data on it yet. Oh and I have the 4s 4800 Zippy-R.

Thanks, that's the exact answer I was looking for. :yipi:
It sounds like they are the exact dimensions of my TP packs. I am also going to be getting the 4s 4800mah. :)
Thanks again.

so will this fit in a tray designed for the new enderland packs? (168mm compared to zippy's 170mm... personally i think they are using similar cells.

Wont fit because they are 50m wide.
I just had Mike make me two custom trays so i could fit my new PQ pack ( Enelrand cells ) and Zippy packs.

The Zippy-Rs are stated to be 45mm wide...
Are they really 50mm?

My bad , sorry . Mine are the H packs not R :oops:

So, you measured till the blue stripe, right? That was 165mm? But can you say me the length of the pack from the end to that black cell? ( Look picture )

Ty in advance!

I'm fairly sure that he meant that the red stripe was 165mm long, and to the blue stripe it was 177mm long.

Ok ty! :smile:

Sorry, but my Englisch is not that good.. :lol:


Anyway.. It won't fit in my E-Firestorm or Rustler VXL :(

From the end of the pack to where you can see that black stuff in between the two leads, I measured 165mm. But from the end of the pack to where you have your blue line drawn, I measured 177mm.

so they are the same dimensions as the new poly quest packs? (i.e. if i buy a 168x 45m box it will fit? thanks for the help guys!

(so far its looking VERY good.)

Has anyone tried cramming a 4800mah 3s zippy-r into an e-revo?

A couple of reviews from the hobbycity site regarding the 3S 4800mAh pack:

"I use it on my Traxxas E-revo in combination with a 36-74-1900kv motor. It fits perfectly with no modifications. At this price, it is way better than most of what's available. Highly recommended."

"Use it on my e-revo. it fit without any problem. Does not come with any plug, so I put deans on them. The wires are very thick, indicating they should put out some serious power."

Thank you, guess I should have opened my eyes a little when I was looking at them!
