Fishymamba.

That battery your looking at the Reedy one.It will work but you will need to go with the oversized battery config.You'll find out about in the assembly.You will need some zip ties,or strapping tape/velcro. Read the instructions though and look at everything closely.

I went with a cheapo route. I got the 5400 lipo series venom racing lipo. That fits with the standard battery set-up but you need to trim a few things because that certain battery does not have rounded edges.It hard to find a lipo with rounded edges or so it seems for me. You would need to to trim out the battery holder a little more then what it says, and also some more on the additional pieces and it will work and it will still be a tight fit.

If you ever find something that will work with no moding. Fits and is the normal size of a 7.2 or 7.4 nimh battery please share it with everyone.
