I am running a 2s lipo in my M11x, the size is 90mm x 50mm x 8mm, the dimensions of life pack you posted are: 83mm x 44mm x 14mm. Length and width wise is smaller than my lipo pack, it is slightly thicker but not an issue. Yes, it will fit.
My M11x comes with a 6 cells battery tray, 6 x 1.5v = 9v, if you use rechargeable battery 6 x 1.2v = 7.2v. That said, 2S 7.4V Lipo is perfectly fine in there.

thanks for the info, i guess ill stick with what i have. i could of sworn it was a 6V battery that came with it but i must of been thinking about the MX3X i had. i hate LiPos and i was wanting a LiFe pack sense I'm already using them in my buggy and all.

M11x can only take upto 2S 7.4V lipo, anymore than that might kill it...

Anyone here tried a lipo in the MX-3X? They claim it is lipo ready, but the settings say for 4 cell alkaline or 6 cell nimh, I didnt see a lipo setting when scrolling through it?
I have a 2S that i used in a mini and fits in the tray, but i would have to wire a connector to the end instead of the deans plug, or vice versa, put a deans on the radio. (I really would rather mess up the battery than the radio
)
Im kinda hung on the idea at the moment, I have four rechargeable 2100 mah AA's that im using now and it works fine.

i know when i had the MX3X you have to change the setting for the higher voltage for LiFe and LiPo or it wont turn on and come up with a error, had it happen to me, but i cannot tell you how to change it. that radio was a little confusing to use.

Putting it to 6 cell i guess kinda fools it, since overall voltages are pretty close. I guess i will have to watch it and see if it starts beeping at me somewhere in the 6.4v range.
