Does E-revo chassis fit A123 cells?

I tried them in an E-Revo that was sitting in the hobby shop. So it likely had the foam on the inside. Remove the foam and you get to the 1mm difference. Then add on your wrapping material - likely another mm or two.

I think a pair of velcro straps in lieu of the door would work just fine - might be difficult to find a spot to attach the straps though.

Okay... so they don't fit with door, check. Velcro sounds like a not bad idea, and I'm sure if I did this I could find a way to attach the velcro to chassis.

Lucariel, that's good to hear it can handle 8s a123 pack, thanks for link... btw, your eagletree seems to be off as far as voltage reading, I see 25 volts, should be 26+volts.

Man oh man this bugs the heck out of me that Traxxas couldn't give a little extra head space for A123 packs... I wonder if A123 is ever going to come out with the prismatic (flat) cells?

BTW, Lucariel... is there a LiPo settings and a NiMH setting on the MMM? I'm assuming yes, but just making sure. Was there any issues running 8s? Glitching, stuttering?
