Yes... Mike can make you a tray to fit whatever you need.

And as far as those batteries go... I have 2 of them I bought a few weeks ago just cuz they were so cheap compared to other packs I had to try them. And... So far so good! No puffing or overheating. Power and run times are comparable to my 20C Polyquest packs (just by feel, no actuall measurments to support this). For the money I think they are decent. I haven't tested them with an eagle tree yet to get a true evaluation of the performance and I only have a couple cycles on them, but initial impression is they are pretty dang good for the money. They are a weird size and use weird balance taps (you will need an adpater to balance them with most balancers out there, but they do sell the adapter for like $4 on the same site), but other than that...


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I appreciate your thoughts on that and would normally agree. However, their lipos always have incredibly good user feedback. Also, I've ordered some stuff from them before (including a 3s lipo pack) and everything is incredibly high value.

That's great to hear! I've had good luck with their lipos as well.

So do you by chance have any of those battery trays I mentioned? Do the batteries fit, or does it fit oddly or unsafely?

Thanks!

Fair enough. Also, given the experience jhautz has with them, I could see trying them out.
