Will a zippy fit in a Slash?
 

Does anyone know if the zippy packs will fit in a Slash battery tray? I want to get this pack but I don't know if it will fit or not.

They do fit but you need to dremel a bit for clearance for the wires to exit the pack. They fit well in the Slash, but the Stampede / Rustler / Bandit need a fair bit of dremel work all round.

they are one millimeter wider then the 4000packs, the 3s 4k pack is a snug fit in my slash.. it just might be possible... might need some light dremel sanding though.

You will need a notch for the wires to come out through.

The 5000 mAH 25-35C packs fit in my Rustler very tightly, I'd say that with a little Dremel work that should fit yours just fine.

Maybe I will just go for the 4000 to be on the safe side.

Man.. I really need a dremel...

I have a few packs that need notches, and I has no dremel.

shenanigans.

Dang that doesn't look safe. Wheres the shrink on the motor wires?:lol:
Don't run it until you dremel the notch in the side. It'll pinch the wires and most likely destroy the battery(check the biggest blunders thread for the full story:diablo:).

You can pick up a dremel knock off super cheap at Harbor Freight and Tool.

I have that 23.99 red one, I keep out in the shed. It's my
workhorse/sacrificial dremel and have had it 4-5 yrs and it has ben used a LOT, still works great and lots a power.

I didn't want to chance compromising the structural integrity of the chassis by dremeling the sides, so I just mounted the battery on edge and added a little bit of rubber-foam weatherstripping padding on the sides:

Also for a cheap dremel check Autozone if there is one around you. I got the one I used for $16. Its super cheap and works great. I have had it for about a year now and use it a couple times a week and it has held up great. Has about 7 or 8 speed adjustments on it also. Cant beat it for the price.

Edit: Here is the one I was talking aout. It lists for $19.99. Come with a case and assorment of bits.
