They are talking about making the F1 Mains longer like 10 min, and I know my 3500 Mah might work but I want to make sure I have full power at the end of the race.
Now I see these
http://www.tqrcracing.com/shop/product_view.asp Peak Power Max 4200 Mah 45 C Bats that look the same size as my 3500 Mah Gen Ace but I want to know the exact dimensions so I'm sure it will fit in my F104 Pro, anybody have the dimensions or use this in there F104Pro?
Would I need a bigger / higher C rated battery than that?
or
Instead of getting a battery that fits the my F104 pro can I or should I possibly look into getting a different shorter top plate that would make it like a F104X1? Can that be done easily or would I need to change alot?
that Peak pack you listed is perfect for the F1, without any modifications. Its shaped like a nimh pack (rounded edges) and made to fit inside a Tamiya M03/M05 - if it fits that it'll fit the F1...I've used it and didn't have any problems..
You can get the split upper deck with makes putting batteries in/out alot easier, it also gives the chassis more flex which equals better traction
I have the counter weight - didn't see a vast improvement over not running it. i will NOT be putting it back on my chassis when i finish my rebuild
"C" rating does not equal more run time...mah is what you need for run time...and 4200mah should be more then enough for 15-20, maybe longer mains...
