Don't think so.

Def not, at least, no 4S I've ever seen. They're too tick to fit in the batt boxes.

I can barely get my 3S to fit.

Maybe because a single 4s is cheaper than 2 x 2s lipos

How about the balance then? Not practical, even if it would fit.

The compartments were designed for 2 - 2cells, one on each side. They are not tall enough for one 4 cell.

If your good soldering, buy a 4 cell and take it apart. Put 2 cells in each side, they will fit, and you would have saved some money.

The batt boxes are designed for 2 3S lipos, Flux is designed to run 6S like the ERBE. I have "car" size 3S lipos and they are tight, have to reverse the boxes so the lids can open fully, but otherwise they really fit better than 2S lipos since they're snug in the boxes.

Based on dimensions, these should fit:

They do in the E-Revo.

Still, I question the balance. Thats 437grams on one side, 15.5oz thats not balanced, its going to be noticeable in the air...... prob notoceable in how it turns as well.

You know you can buy a series connector and charge 2 2S lipos as a single 4S so you effectively charge only 'one' lipo? That way you could use a pr of higher capacity like 6000mah lipos and get 50% more capacity over the single 4000mah 4S. I'm pretty sure the SMCs 6000s fit. I run 2 2S 5000mah lipos.

If it does fit, you can buy two and run in parallel to get 8000mAh of stupidly long run time...."If"

But the OP wants to get by with a single lipo......

The 2 cells are tight, but you right why would they say you can run 6 total, but only have room for 4.

Typing with out thinking out side the box - thanks.

Some 3S packs barely fit in there, so a 4S has no chance in hell of fitting, not unless you mod the crap outa the tray's, which they need anyway.
