Re: Lipo Battery and RC10 bulkhead ?

Post by dldiaz »

I use a Venom [2s2p] 5400mah 20C LiPo pack that fits perfectly in a stock RC10;
my battery pack has the following specs on the label:
Weight: 10.4 oz.
Dimensions: 133.5 x 44 x 23 mm

Funny thing is, when I look up the part number (VEN-15008) on Tower Hobbies,
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXXLJ0&P=7;

the picture shows a similar battery with the following specs:
Weight: 14.74 oz.
Dimensions: 44 x 137 x 24 mm

I think the larger dimensions would not fit properly in a stock RC10...
Could Venom be using a different battery manufacturer that supplies a slightly different size pack???

I also have a Venom 5000mah 40c and it fits in perfect with the RPM rear bulk head(same size as OEM). Just had to cut the end of the battery cup since the battery is longer.
