Ah yes, I forgot it was you who had the gargantuan cap bank! I think it should work fine LOL.

Thats the configuration my 2S2P's are in - 2x2.

Is that a brick, or stick pack?

I finally found that Sticky you were talking about Brian... SuicideNiel did a great job on that one, thumbs up man!

According to the sticky, and if the measurements were done correctly, two M1 cells are 1mm (52mm), yes 1mm too wide for the compartment. (51mm)

Thiessen, you said 1/2 inch, I really am confused here now....

Then if I look at the lid, from what I can see another 8mm of headspace in itself. So, wouldn't 4s pack fit in each side? Am I making a mistake somewhere?

From what I remember the erevo compartments were not 51mm deep. A std 45mm wide pack was a decent fit, maybe 1-2mm spare. I doubt that 2 of the m1 cells side x side would fit with the door closed.

I tried them in an E-Revo that was sitting in the hobby shop. So it likely had the foam on the inside. Remove the foam and you get to the 1mm difference. Then add on your wrapping material - likely another mm or two.

I think a pair of velcro straps in lieu of the door would work just fine - might be difficult to find a spot to attach the straps though.
