Anyone know the dimensions of the Hyper STe battery box?

Check out my other post.. in this forum for the battery tray detail and other info.. PS I'm running my STe on 2s lipo.. I think 4s would be pretty insaine unless you have a SUPER low Kv motor, if you are racing you don't want it uncontrollable. I have the Medusa 50mm 4800kv and it's stick fast on 2s lipo, zero heat issues with a mamba max esc. Keep your system to 3s or less to keep costs down as well, no need for more iMO, up to you though :)

dittos on the 3s set up. at my track 'ocrc raceway' they are running 2s on tenth scale esc's and 6.5 2s seems to be as much as you could possibly handle.im running 3s w/novak 7,5 hv and to be driveable i turn down the EPA bellow 80 %.My rcm .5 without the arm kit weighs 5lbs 13 oz and the 10th scale stuff worked but during bash sesions would run 190 very quickly plus i have all the ofna aluminum hopups and wile i rarely brake it weighs a tone so i went HV.if i could afford a NEU set up this probubly wouldnt be an issue but i cant and novak is just up the street.The hyper w/10th scale weighs 4lbs 5 oz or ther abouts so it takes less to push it .i do think a .5 in stock trim would wiegh up simalarly andwork quite well on a gtb
