My Lipo packs are here so I have been doing alittle figuring on how to add the 140grams (5oz) needed to bring a lipo pack up to 4200 weight (both my truck and buggy are dialed at the local track).....

----------------------------

How much do the LiPo’s weigh compared to normal Ni-MH batteries?
The Team Orion 4800 Li-Po pack weighs 258g, versus 401 g for NiMH 7.2 volt assembled cells.

Mass = 140g (5oz)
Density = 8 g/cc (Stainless Steel 301)
Volume (Area*Height) = 17.5 CC (64.625cm[area]*.270cm)

D=M/V

Dimensions 4800mAh:
Length - 13.75cm (5.41in)
Width - 4.7cm (1.85in)

Height of Plate - .270cm (.106in)
