Measure your battery tray and then check hobbycity for their battery measurements. They list all the dimensions for you.

be aware hobbycity's measurements aren't always the closest. nothing they have that is 4000mah and up, 3s, is going to fit. You might get lucky with the rhino 3700's or 3000 flightmaxxes.

+1 - they usually wind up slightly larger than what the HC site shows them to be.

I just bought a pr of 1600 3S 30C lipos that were suppose dto fit my mini erevo, but they're slightly too wide to fit right.

Long as it's less than 46mm wide, you could use it.

I picked up a 2S 3600mAh there but if you want 3S, try this one

Not crazy long runtime, but will fit and is 3S

I just got 2 of the 2s 5200's and they fit perfect in my SC10 a lil fat for the strap but it closes. I have been getting 30+ min run times out of those.

You should get the softpack 3s. I would post a link but it is too easy to find out for yourself

Good luck amigo
