Battery size

[RANGERMAN87]

Probably a stupid question but what is the average lipo pack size as in physical dimensions.I'm converting my monster pirate to brushless and so that way I can figure where the pack would go.Are they close to the old ni-cad and metal hydride size?

Yep, they tend to be around the same footprint as a 7.2v Ni-Mh pack, sometimes more than twice as thick, usually longer rather than wider.

Get the project going, I'd love to see a converted monster pirate!

Right on,thanks.I've installed the crt5 motor mount and just gotta find the servo mount so I can cut it down plus buy a battery tray.Lil by lil,it'll get done.Is a digital servo programmer worth the money,the reason I ask is 'cause I've got an 8 2.0 with an airtronics m11/spektrum and dual hitec 7955's and would like to install one for steering.I paid $40 for the car,a parts car(roller),pit box with a shitload of parts(5 trays) plus the small losi parts bins,2 m11's,wheels/tires and various other parts,it was used for racing.I'd like to utilize some of the parts on the truck and possibly convert the 8.I think it was a good deal,bitchin deal actually!

No, it's not worth buying a programmer. Your M11 radios have most of the features a servo programmer has built in.

Just program from the M11
