Well this bites. My battery packs didnt fit in my vendetta st. Now what?
I got these batterys packs http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMUE3&P=7 and they wont fit in my vendetta st. They were the same specs as the vendetta battery. What other batterys will fit? I liked those because there 1400mah. Any suggestions?

I suggest removing the end caps if that is possible , it may help enough to fit. Maybe resoldering the leads might help?

Can I use this one? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMUE2&P=7
If not I could get this one http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXMHH3&P=ML
I like the intellect battery because its 1400mah. If I could use the first one I linked I will get that. If not I can get the Vendetta battery.

The Integy is the same one you have , without the end caps. Strange, they are all showing 86 mm. How long is your battery tray?

I'm showing the battery as 3.4 inches. Is it the length of the pack that is the problem?

yea its like the pack is HUGE and the tray is tiny. It just doesnt want to fit. I tryed sanding a little bit of plasitc off of the tray and it still doesnt want to go in.

You could ask toyotanos about this. He had the 1200 version of the pack in his ride he posted in the brushless Vendetta thread. I'm not sure if his is the buggy or ST, though.

This is the same battery without the caps right? Would this work?

just take off the end caps like the other dude said. It should fit. If not, remove all the shrink wrap. It doesn't need it.
Oh and ChrisB17,
that pack you linked in the last post is good, but the connector is wrong. That's a receiver battery for use on nitro cars. If you don't mind changing the connectors, then go for it. But think you should just stick with the battery you have now.
