im wanting to put a battery pack in the rx instead of 4 aa batteries. theres the traxxas pack that goes in there- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHFP6&P=7, but its kinda pricey. im looking at the duratrax pack- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...1060&search=Go

but im not sure if it will fit and plug into the port thats on the rx box.

oh man, that sucks! theres other aluminum boxes by other companies. i would almost need to take the measurements from the battery and compare them with the battery box.

Aluminum adds weight and is JUNK.... You waste money on alum arms and other stuff and all it does is slow you down and break and is expensive. Stick to plastic (it has some give when you smack objects)

oh i agree. im putting rpm where ever i can. the only aluminum im doing for strenth is the bulkheads because i already cracked the front one in 2 places. the rest is just for looks and will be under the body.

stay away from integy when you get bulks.
FLM,traxxas, hard core racing are good bulks and there strong
