E-Revo with 4s2p pack, fit ideas...

[10kman]

I have an E-Revo I just got in today, and was planning on using my existing 4s2p pack from my Monster GT conversion.

BUT, I'm conerned about the pack sitting on top of the chassis, with nothing more than the body to really protect it in the event of a hard hit on the lid.

I have some breathing room between the battery pack and the stock body if I do velcro it down, but I'm wondering if others have done it and been okay. I also have to run the motor on the front of the tranny, rather than the rear (if you use the single motor plate). Using the stocker I can use the front position, and have that open spot for the battery.

If there was a rollbar of sorts I'd be less paranoid of an issue, but with it sitting there, I know something will happen sooner or later.

I'm not quite confident enough to take the 4s2p pack apart and redo it, but that's an option as well. Then I could run the packs in their stock compartments and not have any problems.

Any thoughts?

Thanks all,

What is the battery mah? Got pics?

8000mah pack. It's like a giant brick I'm trying to get in there.

I don't think a picture would capture the clearance between the battery and the body, which is my main issue.

The MGT had room for pretty much anything I could throw at it, but I'm still excited for the e-Revo.

If it's an actual e-revo I don't know where you'll mount it. Haven't looked at the chassis much. If it is a converted revo, you'll be in luck.... Someone else would know.

Nah, this is a "real" e-Revo, not a conversion. Probably where my problem lies.....

I have a 5s2p pack im my Revo. Its a converted one though. My pack is the truerc one. I did once scrape some of the shrink wrap off and its been ok since then. Uts held up to tons of abuse and is still going strong.

You could send it into linc and he can split the pack up into two 4000mah 4s1p. That should fit in there. Measure carefully though.
