Hotrod, I dug those batteries out, one was bad, showed open on the charger and the other is a 7 cell hump battery with unknown history, charging now. I wasn't sure if you could use a hump battery or not, voltage wise? Plus it's kind of rough looking. Let me know to throw it in the box or toss it.

Eta found some new red/ black Deans Wet Noodle for ya, lol.

No sense paying more shipping if it's not a good battery. We can use 6 or 7 cell it wont make much difference honestly I'd just gear down a little more or use less motor. Shape and style won't matter either. Battery tray I use is a flate plate with Velcro.

Awesome, the other is still on the charger on a light charge, so far so good. I'll toss it in the box before it ships buddy.

Jerry I have a pretty good size box here that may fit all this.

Thank you guys. I got the box today. This will get two trucks finished.

that is a good looking crawler!~ glad we could help. sorry there wasnt more we could throw in the box. but im glad we where able to make a difference with what we had. seeing a kids face light up with joy from receiveing his first rc truck is priceless compared to seeing $12.28 hit my pay pal account from some old parts laying around the shop. it's the little things the world has forgotten about i think. a simple smile, a honest hand shake, a meaningful thank you. thats what its all about. seeing someone happy.
