Don't know exactly. You need just enough room for the cups. But make them not bigger then neccecarily!! Otherwise your ball-bearings will come out too, hahaha

Nice truck. I'm thinking about converting a Savage for a friend. What is the battery compartment size? I have a 6s pack that I'd like to use if I do the conversion.....

I had about 5/5.5cm width, 17 cm length. Don't know exactly the length anymore, cause i haven't got my flm savvy anymore. The width is with the spacers installed, and 16/47 gearing.

From memory, with 18 nimh cells/lehner 2230/mgm16025, it was about 7.5kg...

i have been running a neu 1515 on 4s 9000 packs with a MMM lately tho, and am not sure on the weight of that, but it is a bit lighter i think...

ok thanks how fast did it go with 18cells nimh?

Was pretty quick with 18 cells - easily had enough balls to still lift the front, and the cells were old and not very well balanced at all... not sure on speed, as i... well, i have never really bothered worrying about it too much...

On 4S tho, it's just as good... the Neu is a 2650kv finned can - IMHO, any more speed is pretty useless for anything except showing off to ppl/mates in the park or something for 5 minutes - then you get over it...

The only reason i would ever really go with a 6S setup, is for the efficiency side of things... there is plenty of power and speed on 4S. (that is almost a contradictory statement, as i need 6S packs to match up to the 2230 motor, which i have no intentions of getting rid of -lol-)
