The GensAce 3s batts should work well, as well as the Turnigy Nanotechs. But I don't own a Flux, so I can't say for sure. I just know what has worked in the Revo, which has a similar size compartment, afaik.
The best I could measure and be fairly certain a batt would fit is 208mm x 51mm x 31mm.
Anything hardcase 3s I've found needs to be less than 4000mah or of lower c rating and thus not up to the task. I'm figuring off hpi recommendation of 150amp rating. 4000mah would have to be 40c. Soft packs solve the problem but I'm hesitant to run like that. I thought batteries would be easy. I'm looking into kits that bring the lipos in board, I would run soft packs then.
