Hey guys, would anyone be so kind as to tell me the dimensions of the battery tray?
width, height and depth would be awesome,

thanks so much, Daniel

Hi!

Here is 2 pics about the dimensions.
I hope it can help you.

Thanks for the pics

Guys haven't ordered any batts yet, Based on these dimensions will these fit? I know they will slide in, but will they slide in far enough for cg, before I hit the tapered part, don't want to do any grinding. I don't own or have a batt this size to judge. I'm sure it would be fine but no such thing as sending batts back to hong kong

I may be mistaken (still haven't built) but isn't 40C overkill?... like 200 amps?

I think you can get by for 20C or maybe a bit more (saves weight and maybe money)... HFG or someone will know for sure.

I run 25C packs and they only get a touch warm after a hard flight.

s0laris · 12-10-2009, 01:28 PM

running 25C here too.. and if you saw it flying at 2400 rpms i think you will agree 25c is plenty.

I have an ice 100 coming so I will do some data logs and see!

running 40C packs here, they come down just above ambient temperature, maybe 90*F

I don't think it's overkill. With care, it should mean that the battery will last longer, and provide a more consistent performance for the same flight duration or longer. You won't draw any more amps than full pitch. On mine, that's been 120+ amps. I think the rating game is rather crazy, but the fact is the battery should outlast and outperform lower rated batteries. I would probably become concerned at some point about the weight, but I don't think it will be a problem for someone like me who only is capable of smack flying on the simulator.
