Default Rechargeable Battery for Volcano

I want to put some rechargeable batteries inside my Volcano and make it so i dont need to pull them out to recharge. I saw a review on the Volcano that they guy did this but didn't give any details. Anyone know how I can accomplish this? And what products I need

Do you have room for a hump pack? Something like a 1600mah? I know on Towerhobbies you can get a "Y" adapotor to intergrate it on the truck and it gives you an output to plug the battery in a charger. Just like the Traxxas nitros are, Revo/T-Maxx. I'll try and find a link to post. But look around.

Here are some Hump packs. The Traxxas one is a little pricey but it'll work nice. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHFP6&P=7 The Integy one is the same but cheaper. Not currently in stock on towerhobbies but I'm sure you find it else where. Ebay is always cheap. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXTFZ2&P=7

While I was looking for some hump packs on Ebay I found this for myself. Hahaha SCORED.... http://cgi.ebay.com/Intellect-7-4v-2...3A1%7C294%3A50

2300mah 7.4v 2S Lipo. I'll be using that in my 1/8 buggy. Has a 25c discharge rate. Should be super nice.

Thanks for the links! But those are both 6V isn't that over doing it? Isn't each AA equal to 1.2 V? And the Volcano take 4 AA to run. I could be wrong, but i dont think those would fit in the Volcano. But you got me on the right track, thanks!

No one really runs the 4 AA packs. Besides all servos are rated for 4.8-6v. And most will work on or up to 8.4v. The hump packs are the same length as the plastic holder for the AA's. And the high shouldnt be an issue either. I hope I was a help and once you get done, post some pics.
