Castle 5th scale

[Riko]

hi!

well I have also done research on measurements of lipo-dimensions and if they would fit the battery case (I got the specs from rc mike arct1k) and I assume you will set up the lipo's in series.
Those would fit very well even in series.
Even the Hyperion VX 6500 mah would fit in series(but there is no EX equivalent of that much mah) although you would have to cut out the sides from the tray
So I assume it would fit without cutting with the Castle conversion since they dont include a battery tray.
I also assume you will get the RC Mike conversion kit with tray.


And a question about Deans, is that good enough as a connector or are there different kinds of deans connectors?

Hi, yeah I picked the 4200mah Hyperions because they are going to be used in my other cars as well and I like the smaller dimensions and lighter weight of them. If they were to be used only in the baja I would have gotten at least 5000mah+. I am also going to be using two 4s pack in series for 8s 4200mah total so you have that right :)
And I am going to be using Mike's conversion kit.
There are just 2 deans that I am aware of. The micro Deans and the regular Deans, I'll just be using regular and I think they will hold up just fine. If not, I will switch up to deans connectors.
