Thanks, It would help out a lot, Ive searched all over but couldnt find a straight answer. I have some batteries from my E-maxx that I was gonna use, but sounds like you didnt like the idea of 2 batteries stacked in there.
The largest battery is 165L x 44.4w and as tall as you want to go around 95.mm tall is the bigges 6s I've had in there with no chassis spacers used. You can go wider depending on the pinion size you end up with. With 5s 4200 45c I'm running 20t and 25t on the tekin 1350kv truggy motor, with this motor esc and motor and 20t the temps are at 100esc/motor all day long. With 25t the motor hits 145, esc110. 70deg weather. I found that with the 2200kv hpi motor and the bigger cen tires/wheels the temps were to high. Temps were ok with the stock terrapins or smaller on 6s 35c 5000. But I really like the cen wheels and tires, they make it a beast! I'll put up my test run videos here in a bit!
