Sooo I bought these Zeee 3s batteries that I thought for sure I could fit... But they don't. Just about 1/8" too thick.
Have not been able to find any 3s that fit. Starting to worry because a lot of the ones I have seen that would fit, are sold out or not available.

Maybe I'm bad at finding batteries, but I've sure tried.

Does someone know where I can find some?
 
Sorry, haven't been on here in a... bit. lol!

I ran these, but got ones with xt60 (I think) connectors.

Going to try these now though:

Got a few more parts for it for my b-day last month.

New pushrods, axle carriers, summit axles, motor cooler, rewired/routed again so I could remove the motor fan without opening the dreadful receiver box, also moved the servo so the wiring wasn't stupid.

My wife ordered the carriers and couldn't get both in red... oh well, the rears are gunmetal, both sets are from atomikrc and fit really well. Hoping they allow it to center better as I couldn't get the RPM carriers on it to not bind ever so slightly. Now they don't bind at all.

Also made a little plate to tie the front skid to the center. Read somewhere that it helps keep the chassis/bulkheads from breaking. Apparently someone used to make a chassis brace that went under the shocks to help this, but they don't make it anymore. And the t-bone skid plate system doesn't exist anymore as that was another solution. Will see how this does...

Page 57, post 1122. This what was recommended to me. I haven't bought any yet.
 
Ahah!
S.O.L. it is! Lol

My rig is sick on 2s anyway.. 🙎‍♂️


I did end up buying a Vendetta for the itch, it's on the way.
I'll be ok 🤣

Congrats. I however won't do 2s on my mini. That's prolly why I spent over 150 on rings and pinions! 🤣🫠 3s makes her boogie.
 
I really want to try it though.

Currently working front to back, rebuilding diffs, switching to aluminum shock bodies, new motor plate, new slipper assembly, and a HR helical in the rear.

Was ALSO going to run it 3s, but I'll wait for that I suppose.
