Who makes the lowest profile 2s shorty packs?

[BarnFabRC]

I’m looking for a really thin shorty pack for my RC10. Doesn’t need to be anymore than 4000mah. I’ve seen a few on AMain that look like they’re pretty thin but it’s hard to tell. It’s going to be a fairly light load on it and it only needs to last for max an 8minute main. Ultimately I’ll be putting a juststock 17.5 setup in it and moving the XR10pro into the T6.4.

So what have you seen around that looked pretty thin?

This Redline looks like it might fit the bill but no one really lists dimensions or it’s the dimensions of the box it comes in…

ProTek is .72 in tall and the G E N S A C E is the same .72in tall.

This is the Maclan one. I think these 3 are the lowest profile batteries. (Gens, ProTek and Maclan)
LRP maybe?

Yea I was down for the GA but it’s out of stock. I’ve been happy with the ProTek’s I have. Maybe I’ll take a stab at that. Also need to see what Pit Stop has in the case on Saturday.

I would suggest CHNL since I use them in mine. But I don't think they have a low profile or LCG /ULCG pack.

Been my experience the 7.6v HV graphene packs are a bit thinner. Exception being if the pack is 2S1P or 2S. Check the config as well as the dimensions. 2S1P will come off a bit thicker but offer a higher C-rating. Best check and double check your track rules regarding use of 7.6v HV in competition. Even charged to 7.4v a 2S1P pack will offer less voltage sag over a 7.4v 2S standard.

MM to Imperial - divide by 25.4
Imperial to MM - multiply by 25.4

Industry standard are called "LCG" Shorty, plenty of brands offer them where my personal favorite is Trinity which markets theirs as ULCG with a height of 19mm:

If you want to go with a budget brand, then this will gitterdone, just note they don't specify the charge rating so it's probably limited to 1C where Trinity can handle 3C charge rates without breaking a sweat:

*** I personally stay away from ProTek and Gen$ace

They do but it’s also out of stock everywhere but Australia

Haha I machine curtainwall from European extrusions designed by American architects. 25.4 is on speed dial on my calculator

I have a Trinity white carbon 4300 and it’s a full inch thick. That’s honestly why I had written them off for this application. Maybe worth a second look.

The outdoor track I run at is pretty open. No stock classes. I’m running an 8.5 in my 4wheel bug, a 6.5 in the mini truggy and currently a 13.5 in the RC10. Man that 8.5 was such a step up from the 13.5 I was running last summer. I (accidentally) actually did a full backflip with it coming out of the rhythm section two weeks ago. I’ll never be able to pull that off again probably
