IMO. Great bang for the buck. Mine have been great, and Dan over there is a good guy as well. Been running 2 (2s + 3s, 8k) sets like this for 6 months now. For the money, you can't go wrong.

do you know if they would fit in the e-maxx battery trays?

[squeeforever]

They should.

[jhautz]

No. If I remember right, they were just a little to big in both length and width. The exact measurements of my packs are 2.0in x 5.7in including the bulges on the ends where the wires are under the shrink wrap. Measure your battery tray. Also, it would have been a tight squeeze for the 3s pack to go in and out without damaging it on the edge of the motor plate.

I haven't tryed it in a long time and I don't have a stock chassis around here any more to check it out.

well length and hight are ok (the transmission on my custom chassis is higher than on the stock chassis) but the width is off by 2mm:035: :035: :035:

what should i do...........

[jhautz]

You could load them in the tray standing on edge. :005: You would have to come up witha strap of some sort to hold it though. And it would raise the COG a touch.

i could do that, it would not really raise my cog because i am running 16 cells now with 6 flat and 2 on top. BTW i am going run the gorillamaxx straps and if you look at the pics on the first page, i dremeled out the back of the chassis so i could fit 7 cells flat. (i think i could fit 9 flat it i made a plate for the cells so they would not hand off the end of the chassis)

I remember TrueRC was selling pairs of 2S2P 8ah packs a while back. They were supposed to fit the stock chassis...

2s2p 8000's, so that would be 16000 mah?

or you mean 2s2p 4000's? the are a 1>1 fit.

i think Squee means using 2 2s2p 8k batteries for a total of 4s2p............

yes, that was the part i did understand. But is the 2p paralel 8000 or is the 2p 16000.

here is a link to the packs (the ones at the very bottom)

Yea, the 2P conbine to make 8k. They do have 8ah cells though...

Very cool set-up! Very creative...job well done.

I have to wonder about the durability of your chassis "connections" though. Plexiglas fractures fairly easily when it's part used as a structural member.

Let us know how it holds up! Good luck with it!

I wanna know if he ran it yet! :)
