Hey all i figured i should start a new thread, whould [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNYJ4&P=SM]This[/link] lipo fit in the stock Compartment of the axe? 85x40x21mm (3.4x1.6x.8" ) There's the demensions if you don't feel like clicking on thel ink.thanks.

Here are the dimensions for my Electrifly BP 910 that I'm using:
Pack Dimensions: 66x37x22mm (2.6x1.5x.9")
I'm using the BP 910 and it's a pretty snug fit. You may be able to squezz it in there, but I can't say for sure.

What about the TP 1320 people are talking about? How big is it?

Mike,
Did you ever get the parts listing? I was sending out to everyone that asked for it. I have a section on lipo batteries and their demensions and specs.

Ted

Where is the section strat?

I have a Mega-Power 1350 15c 3s pack that's a little swollen. It's 25.4mm (1.00") thick, 35.5mm tall (1.40"), and 76.2mm long (3.00"). It JUST barely fits in the front, there's a insulator of DS sticky foam tape & FG between motor & Lipo, about 3mm thick (1/8"). The canopy can be a PITA to put on, depending upon where the balance charger plug is at the front of the canopy up/down,etc.

I am using a Thunder power 3c 1320 mah pack here's the dimensions TP1320-3SPL 11.1V 1320mAh 3-Cell 84grams 19 x34 x65 $49.95

It balances in the compartment well. and stays in with a couple rubber bands.. Not to mention it gives me around 20-28 minute flight... Not just hovering but in 3D maneuvers.

I Emailed Hobbico's "helihotline" and got this response.


Hello, Thanks for your email.

The battery will fit but it is a little heavy and will shift your CG of the
helicopter.

Does any company sell the TP1320 pre solered with Deans? I don't want to have my first attempt at soldering at a lipo if you know what i mean.

Awsome i just found a place that sells the TP1320 Packs with connectors. If i got it i need the deans micro 2R right?

I'm sure if you looked around on the net. You could find a company that would... But it's really not that bad... If you know how to solder it's pretty straight forward... Biggest thing is to make sure you don't short out the pack... I've soldered up 5 of these packs and haven't had a problem yet.. getting ready to buy another this weekend because I accidentally left one plugged in, in my Mini T and it fried it.. I just use some electrical tape and tape one lead down to the table don't strip it or anything... pre-solder your connections on the deans connector. ( meaning put a dab of solder on the deans connector before you try to attach a wire to it, It makes life 100 times easier. because instead of you trying to hold the deans connector, wire, solder, and iron all with your 8 hands, u just need to heat the solder back up on the connector and stick the wire in. ) .. Use a pair of alligator clips if you have them to help hold the deans in place a pair of pliers helps to hold the alligator clips when soldering the connections... Go slow take you time and do one at a time.. You'll do fine.. Don't get yourself all worried before you do it, be assertive and know you can without any problems... I'm not the greatest with a soldering iron nor very graceful with it but if i can do it you can do it.
