I saw your buggy build that u used mike's tray, are u still use it. Thanks for the info, but i will be using the RCPD one which is about the same dimension as mikes, but i don't know if it is as easy to shave down as mike's.

If you want HV, try the Impulse lipos. I have a 3s 3200mah pack and it's lower profile than a 6c pack.

I'm assuming you want 8s? Higher?

To me, for hight restrictions the Impulse packs have the skinniest cells available.

Well 8s would be fine if i had somewhere to put it. This is the tray i will be using and have already ordered....

That is micke_b's RC8

i put mikes tray in my truggy and now im using the rcpd one it sits way out and it needs a bit of shaving to fit the zippy 5000 its a nice tray though i wish the battery was moved over about 5mm

Well, i got my buggy, now i just have to wait on everything else.

• This is what i plan on using;
• Mike's Motor Mount
• Flightpower 5s 4350mah Lipo
• RCPD Ultimate Battery Tray
• Motor ???
• Mamba Monster
