I just ordered the 8200 50C soft pack from SPC Racing to try out. $44 is not too shabby for extra capacity and very little weight increase.

Here's a little thing I did to help make the bumper a little longer. I used 2 pieces of fuel tubing about 1cm long and just put it inside the bumper screw hole. The front of my body is already badly scratched and cracked, but this will definitely help keep a new one from destruction on nose-dives.

Considering running my SCT410 on 3s with the Tekin Pro4HD 3000kv. Will gear to around 38 mph. Was hoping for more efficient and cooler electronics. Any thoughts on that?
Also, what is the largest physical dimensions for a battery to fit in the battery tray?

As long as the tracks you frequent are ok with it, that would be optimum. That gets you to about the same rpm as a 2s with a 4000+ kv motor.
That's the same tray as the 1/8 buggy so you can fit any 3s hard case lipo that you want especially if you haven't cut the straps that it came with.
SMC makes a 3s pack in a 2s case that's just a hair heavier than a 2s pack. That's the route I would take but there are plenty of other 3s to pick from.

Anyone ever put this truck fully loaded on scales to check for weight distribution? I'm just wondering if the battery tray mod helps to even it out both front and back, and side to side or if it kinda throws the weight more towards the left rear?

What kind of body do you run? Is this enough to put the bumper in front of the body?

The tray is limited to ~138mm long. Depending on width may get close to center diff outdrive at full length. The buggy body imposes height limits the truck doesn't have. Weight is probably biggest deal. I'd guess 3-400g is a good range for Tekin setup. Servo and RX weight matter of course.

This 3s in a 2s case has the the same dimensions and is 6g heavier from memory (weights been removed from site).

This layout was designed around a heavier lipo so I would think a little more weight would benefit the balance.
