(Page 3) That's great, however mine didn't come with a holder at all on the end there (assume lost years ago), so I "made" my own with my first ever dremel job from a coat hanger, lol! Looks quite similar shape. It's the actualy batteries, not had, so will look into that over lander Cheers for that Edited September 7, 2020 by gunja99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to make an order this week, so will try again to get the right kind of Lipo to fit the stick format... Good luck, I think you need in tamiya style to fit but it's a limited choice. I have some 4000mah 3s batts from an old quad, never been used. I think I'm going buy replacements parts for bull so I can modify them to fit big oblong lipos.

gunja99 Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 yeah choice does seem limited, bought a box style one which just squeezes into the Sand viper (just), with a little dremel mod. the viper easier to mod than the Mad Bull. The length is slightly more with Lipos, than the NiMah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I think I can get a turnigy 4000mah block Lipo into the battery tray if I cut the top out of the plastic 'loop'. I want a spare part to practice on though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I use these in my Tamyia cars/trucks like the TT01e and Pumpkin/Lunchbox Pumpkin/Lunch box i think have very similar battery tray to Viper/Mad Bull We did try 5000mah in them but they are more square batteries and didnt fit but the 4000 is rounded at sides 🍻 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/gens-ace-lipo-2s-pack-7-4v-4000-50c-deans-plug/rc-car-products/444355 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunja99 Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Mad Bull has a very different setup to the Viper on the battery front. Slides in at the back, but will check out that battery as migth fit. The overlanders look a good shape TBH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
