I hope so.... they are good enough for E-Savage owners from what I have read.

the savage is quite a bit heavier though.

Anyone know if this TRUERC 8000mah pack will fit in with this conversion?

TrueRC 14.8V 4S2P 8000mAh OR should I just get the smaller 5000mah 4S pack for this conversion?

Which ones? the 10 or 15 c's? the 10 c's should fit without a problem.

I expect the 15c's to fit too. Once i've got my chassis i'll get you the dimensions on what size cells you can use.

I was looking at this one.

Size


44mm x 50mm x 145mm

(1.73in x 1.96in x 5.7in)

Weight


Aprox 24oz / 680g

Discharge


Up to 80A Continuous

120A Max burst


Didn't know there was a 10 and 15.... not sure which one this pack is than.

That's not all that big. It'll fit no problem. I just set my TrueRC pack on the lipo plate for my kit (I havent started assembling yet) and it looks like you should have no problem at all with that.

What pack is it that you have from TRUERC?

Just can't decide... 8000mah or 5000mah more weight and runtime or lighter weight and less runtime. uuuurrrrrr

8000mah. The 5000mah at 10c dont have the current capability. I typicially think anything with 80A or greater constant rating and 120A burst is adequete for 1/8 brushless. Less and you risk damaging the pack by putting to large of a load on it IMO.

Ive never had a 5000, but I can tell yo the 8000 are excellent value for the $. Ive had a set for a couple years now and they are still runnin strong.

jhautz, thanks for the help. You just made me spend $140!

:D

And you got yourself some serious nice lipo's their old cells are capable of delivering 2800 watts in burst as a 4S2P pack.

I use a truerc 10c 4s2p 8000mAh lipo. I needed to use the supplied spacers to space out the TVP so I could get proper gear mesh and gear low enough. I use a neu 1515/1y/f and the lowest gearing I could fit without the motor hitting the battery was 52 spur, 18 pinion. This gives me about 38mph with the 3speed.

I was out bashing for a solid 35min. and only put back 4850mAh in to the battery. Also, the truerc 4s2p 8000mAh lipo is good for 3.425v/cell @ 124amp burst, they hold 3.525v/cell @ 100amp burst too. Not bad for $140....

Bye
