I'm not 100% satisfied with any of the shorty packs I have used to be honest. Its one of my disappointments with this car. 1/8 anything is hard on packs and especially so with Shortys
These have been the best but they are 26mm thick - I remove the labels so they slide in and out better but if they get a slight puff under load it can be tricky.
These are 25mm thick but less capacity
I have some other shorty packs but these 2 are the best both in testing and in use.
It has been a while since I have been out for a run so I dont have the details memorised - but the only time I was concerned about pack temp was when a local 'pro' driver took my car around the track above - he was on it. I will pay more attention next time.
The Turnigy Panther are the best packs I have and the best I have seen tested - but they dont come in hard case or shorty...

I'm not having battery problems - more capacity is better but I am not a fan of HV packs - I'm more interested in longevity than runtime.
When you find the Turnigy packs on sale they are less than half the price of the IP ones. I can then run twice as often in the one trip to the track
next time I get out to use it I will take some numbers for interest.

So disappointed with the design of the car. I like this home made conversion better

Yep, back into it after a few years off... 1/12th not popular enough here in Sydney, so 8th scale it is. Funnily enough LIPO are my last item to sort out. I have nearly pulled the pin on the IP6200 shortys 2s but, looks like a IP6200 4s shorty is getting released. Trying to confirm length of 4s currently.

Belt tensioner filed to allow for 2250. Might swap to a 2600 which is slightly shorter.
HW XR8 Plus needing a top tray modification in order to fit. Still more to do with a choice of lipo likely to be the intellect 6200 4s shorty.

Does anyone know if the spur gear on the rx8e (mod 0.8) has the same centre bore and screw pcd as the early nitro versions (mod1) second gear. (nitro first and second gear are different from each other). I have a converted rx8 14 and would like to use the spur adapter from the rx8e instead of getting mine custom built. Or can anyone tell me the RX8e shaft diameter, diameter of onside hole on rc8e spur, and locating holes pcd. I know the rx8e length is shorter so will have to add spacer or chorten shaft. Thanks
