Default Lipo for 3PM @ HobbyCity??

Looking for a lipo for my 3pm Radio and hopefully from HobbyCity since im waiting on the 4s 5000 packs to come back into stock I can order it then.

I'm "nervous" about ordering just any 11.1v lipo that "looks" like it should fit.
I would prefer one with 2500mah or so.

Any web wonders post a link to "the" pack?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, But...

I don't think that will fit in the 3PM... The 3PM's radio tray is shallow.. thin.. etc..

Oye.. this is my problem..

I'm running 3S lipo in both my 3PK and 3PJS - 3PM batt is the same size. If you have been using a tray, you remove that and use a piece of foam rubber. Connect the lipo, use the lipo to compress the foam, then slide the cover in place - the foam is needed to keep the lipo from moving around. Lipo by itself - it'll move around which is not acceptable

Here's the size that fits 3PK/3PM - Dimension(mm): 114 x 57 x 13mm


Don't think you'll find on on HC - this is more of a specialty batt. Look in A-Main, where I got mine, they are 3300mah and last a looooong time. Mine came with the foam included.

I have been running this one from Common Sense. Been good. Has built in cut off on the pack. Fits the 3PM great.

Eh and full circle yet again..
Checked the ProTek RC lipo, nice nice nice... for $65
and checked the Common Sense Lipo.. nice too but again for $60

I really don't want to do the Bay thing for the $20 lipo's..
but it's looking more and more like a possibility
