Echlin W Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thanks for the reply mate;) Those sizes suck dont they?? Struggling to find batteries to fit with decent price and power etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyhabitz Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 You shouldn't have battery size problems with the flux,I run 3 different brands (2s & 3s) of lipo with NO problems. HPI Plazma 2s Hyperion 3s and Neu Energy 3s The Neu Energys are a big lipo but fit with no problems into the fluxes battery boxes. I hope this helps. PS. The HPI plazma 7.4 5300mAh is a great battery IMO. 20-25 min run times and nice and punchy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echlin W Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 The battery i was hoping to get is the Turnigy in this link.....here The dimensions seem just too large. Has anyone used them or similar. Alot of turnigy's are the same size so hopefully. Do they fit? Thanks lads, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone used them or similar. Alot of turnigy's are the same size so hopefully. Do they fit? Thanks lads, My Neu Energys are 165x48x30 and fit with room to spare so those Turnigy's will fit fine. I've never used Turnigy's so I have no idea if they are good,bad or other but the price sounds good. Will you get hit for import duties and postal handling fees? Don't think you have to run 6s to get the best out of the flux tho EW,it's really lively on 4s and is totally INSANE on 6s!! In fact 6s can be to much of a handfull sometimes,depending on where you are and what your doing. 6s will help keep you fit tho as you'll have to keep running after it to put it back on it's wheels...again. And again. And again LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 i belive there 207mm x 30mm x 42mm give or take a few mm<br> Is this the correct sizes? I've been doing some reasearch on batteries preparing for my conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicideneil Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Are these the correct sizes = there is more than a single dimension Is this the correct size = there is only dimension And yes, I believe they are correct ( assuming the dimensions haven't been altered by HPI over time ).... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
