mk2 polo power Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hi As per title. Is there enough room to run a 10cm long nimh 2/3a pack down the centre of the chassis? Or will it fit width ways if the side plastic flange sections are trimmed down. Or do square nimh 2/3a fit as used in the fix outback ranger crawler Regards Joe.

MrCake Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I can check mine later but would say it would be a struggle. I have the brushed version which I assume has less space than the brushless due to mine having the separate ESC. Will report back for sure later this evening.

MrCake Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Oops just realised I have a Mini-T. Not sure if they have a different chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 i dont have the mini t but generally the truggy chassis is longer than the buggy chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 As I suspected, I think you will be out of luck. Width for a battery is only around 57mm and the square packs are definitely a bust. With the stock electrics, I am not sure you could program out the LIPO cut either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou very much that is really kind and useful. A few points: That photo is a Mini T? Same chassis width as a Mini B, for the area between motor and servo? Definitely shorter length than a Mini B, but by how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 polo power Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 I meant to add, I watched this youtube video, which isn't precise on dimensions. It's clear the mini B chassis is longer, but I also think it's wider too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCake Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Surprised how much bigger that looks so I guess you might get lucky.? Is there a specific reason you want to run these on NIMH? Runtime on the supplied LIPO is surprisingly long considering the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 polo power Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just generally anti lipo - mainly safety reasons. Also when travelling and playing with children I prefer nimh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
