Didn't someone introduce some "low profile" shorty 2 cell packs around a year ago. I am thinking Reedy, but I am probably wrong. But the Dude is right about the post for the F1 car providing the correct height for the top plate over the regular 2 cell batteries. And it will fit on the Xti inline chassis. There are people running 25.5 motors with 2 cell batteries in the Gen10 RT that use this post.

This isn't a complex or controversial issue, you can only fit a certain sized pack in a 1/12 car and if you think you're going to save $40 by using a pack meant for an F1 or touring car then you will probably be quite disappointed in your outcomes, even if you used the tall F1 car center post height.

Most of the 4,000mah 2s shorty ULCG packs are the same dimensions as a standard 1s: 93mm x 47mm x18.5mm. This make sense as they simply rewire the two internal cells from 1s2p to 2s1p for half the capacity and twice the voltage. Reedy has a 3,600. Gens Ace has a 4,000. Fantom has a 4,000. Guessing there are others. Once you get into the 4,500mah 2s packs, the height increases to around 25mm and in many cases they are 3-4mm longer as well.

Trinity has had a the 4100 LCG battery for some time. that's all I run in my F1.

The new cells are the latest from CRC .

Those batteries have been around over 5 years. I was using them at the Indoor Champs in F1 around 16. The LCG shorty reduces traction rolling by a huge amount. Dumper has given me grief about it all these years. He says that they don't have the punch and he used to be right. My latest set have I.R.s in the low 1's per cell. I can say that they pass the juice out. I am coming off at 6 minutes with 7.7v resting. But a practice run Saturday on the HWC layout had a 8.3 fast lap and a 8.5 final lap after 6-1/2 minutes. Data from the esc showed a low voltage of 7.3. That is using it up but delivering the goods.

[QUOTE=DesertRat;15948686]Doing this to both sides didn't even save 2g but hell, 2g is 2g. I am still of the opinion that the slider pod is more chunky than it needs to be.

Reminds me of my Delta car's rear pod. Too many years ago to think about.

I will report after this weekend. I did my usual thing of buying an RC item and not using it until it's basically obsolete.
Edit: it is worth noting that with the lowrider motor and spool, the pod is very close to balanced. Within 2g.

Nice what did you do to lengthen the center shock? I have the red part but it is a 4/40 thread? Anyone make a longer shaft?
