It may fit if you dremel the little back wall out of the chassis, and sand down the sidewalls of the battery compartment some. I usually remove that back wall on my Rustler chassis anyways.

160 is really pushing it though

A 7 cell NiMH flat pack is about 155-160mm long (generally right in the middle, at approx. 157mm), and I have fit those in a Rustler chassis with the back wall dremeled out no problem (still had a few mm to spare too!).

Just throwing that out there as an option.

ohh ok, i didnt understand what u were sayin

dirt101 05.19.2008 03:39 PM

on mine I actually dremeled out the front wall. it was for my true rc 6400s which are just slightly to long. Now they fit in perfect up against the servo mount. I havent had any problems with chassis flex pushing on the battery as I have a couple MM's in there. just an idea if you end up with a pack just slightly to long.

brushlessboy16 05.19.2008 03:41 PM

hmm great idea dirt, sorry about the BIke

That was going to be my suggestion, after my bank balance recovers from my BL XB8 build I plan to get a rusty with an FLM chassis so I can cram 6s into it:intello:

Anything will fit with a hacksaw/grinder:wink: (or a dremel for you fancy people:whistle:)

I haven't ran the stock 48 pitch for awhile and too lazy to look up the equivalent tooth count, butt 16/40 seams to be on the slower side.

I run the same gearing in mine and it has done a good job in keeping the wheelies in check

brushlessboy16 05.19.2008 08:31 PM

but wheeles are fun... lol

dirt101 05.20.2008 06:46 AM

that is is if you have a nice wheely bar. I cant find one strong enough for me. Traxxas ones last a couple of days, and the swami last until I take it to my 1/8th track down the road(theres a HUGE quad I go for everytime. p.s. it takes 3s to clear, 2s comes up a couple of feet short). Now I take the swami bar off when I go to the track.
