How to mount 12 or 14 cells in stock revo?

IIRC, you are using a 14 cell "brick" right? If so, a 4s1p Maxamps 10Ah pack is just about a perfect replacement size-wise if mounted on edge. The pack will be a bit taller (59x158x42) than the 14 cell brick (46x161x44), but the length and width are just about perfect. And the weight (813g) is very close to the same as 14 cells (910g). A 5s pack will be about 10mm wider and 100g heavier, but the voltage and runtime would be well worth it IMO.

Yeah, the (14) brick is about 880g. I'm going to stick with the 4S packs I think. MaxAmps 10Ah pack is 820g, the 8Ah is only 725g. I'm not sure which one I'll get yet. I was wrong about shedding as much weight as I thought going to lipo, I'm glad the single pack has turned out to be as balanced as it is.
