JoeDreamer Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi there. I'm pretty new to RC cars and got my first proper RC car today. I'm wondering if there are any short length, high capacity NiMH batteries about. My current bay holds a battery that's 100mm long (plus its 7.2v). I've seen most are about 130mm so just a general question . If there is could anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

oodboo Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Most nimh batteries are about the same, higher capacity tend to be a bit longer though. Not sure I've seen 30mm difference. What car is it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDreamer Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Just a cheap Chinese branded rc called the HSP Reptile. I just wanna see if the hobby is for me without spending a ton on something I'm not going to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicideneil Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Not sure if end to end or side by side cells ( in a 6 cell pack ) would fit better, but that gives you 2 options atleast. You can also get 'hump' packs which have the 6th cell on top, making the pack shorter but taller- something you might be able to make work judging by some google images of your model ( modding = winning ).Take a look at these guys for different options, best cells vs price of any seller pretty much:http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Vapextech-Batteries-and-Chargers?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
