There's another FCONEGY on Amazon, specifically, FCONEGY 2PCS 7.4V 4200mAh 2S 40C LI-Ion Battery Pack with Deans Plug for RC Car RC Truck RC Hobby (4200mAh 40C 2PCS) but the dimensions are not compelling: 139 x 47 x 25 mm / 5.08 x 1.85 z 0.98 in. It appears that this version has both the balance and main wires from one of the ends (not from both), but the 139mm in length makes it a non starter for me.

Hello Chaps, I've been building a list of potential batteries for Tamiyas (I've got an Amarok and recently picked up a Blackfoot) and the only one that is ideal in terms of length is the Core-RC CR293. Unfortunately, they're are not available in the U.S. (and they cannot be shipped across the pond due to Airmail restrictions). 138mm in length fits the TW-01 (Amarok) as well as the Blackfoot with small tweaks to the battery stops. The TW-01 needs stick-type batteries with rounded corners. The Blackfoot does not need rounded corners. The real-estate available for a battery on the Blackfoot is as follows: 136 x 60 x 26mm x 60mm (can be adapted to gain a few more mm in length by tweaking the battery stops). Here's the list that I've been compiling: - Core RC 20C/40C 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo or Core RC 30C/60C 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo SKU: CR293; Dimensions: 23.3 x 46 x 133.7mm - Venom Power 2S 20C Soft Case w/UNI 2.0 Connector 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo (Rounded Edges for Tamiya) SKU: VNR15085; Dimensions: 132 x 47 x 25 mm Note: the soft case seems to have been replaced by a hard case but Venon keep the same part number. With the hard case, the dimensions change to 138.5 x 47 x 25 mm Soft Case LiPo SKU: 15085 UPC CODE: 845623011015 Hard Case LiPo SKU: 15085 UPC CODE: 885204472774 - Peak Racing PowerMax Sport 45C 4200mAh 7.4V LiPo (Tamiya Plug) SKU: PEK00568; Dimensions: 138 x 46 x 25mm (this one is easily available in the U.S.) - ANTIX BY LRP GRAPHENE 45C 5200mAh 7.6V LIHV LIPO HARDCASE SKU: 430405 or LRP-430405; Dimensions: 137.5 x 46.5 x 24.5mm - Turnigy nano-tech 2S 25C Hardcase 4200mAh 7.4V Lipo SKU: 9067000114-0; Dimensions: 138x47x25mm - Associated WolfPack 2S 35C 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo SKU: ASC752; Dimensions: 139 x 47 x 24.5mm - GARTPOT 2S 50C Hardcase Deans T Plug 4000mAh 7.4V Lipo; Dimensions: 134x 34mm x 20mm Note: I've seen conflicting information on the actual dimensions, need to physically measure it to be certain. Most people get it from Aliexpress. - Gens ace 2S 45C Deans T Plug 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo SKU: GEA40002S45D; Dimensions: 138 x 48mm x 22mm - Yuki BRAINERGY 2S-1P 30C Deans T Plug 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo SKU: 801004 Dimensions: 134 x 46 x 23.5 mm (only available in Europe) Note: someone on here measured with calipers and it turned out to be 133.5mm in length. - Yuki BRAINERGY Akku 2S-1P 40C Deans T Plug 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo SKU: 801004-20 or YM-801004-20; Dimensions: 134 x 46 x 23.5 mm (only available in Europe; will not ship due to Airmail restrictions) - Yuki BRAINERGY 2S-1P 45C Hardcase Deans T Plug 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo SKU: 801004; Dimensions: 134 x 46 x 23.5 mm (only available in Europe; will not ship due to Airmail restrictions) As always, any other thoughts or suggestions are most welcome and appreciated... Hope this helps. Best regards.

Chaps, has anyone tried these LiPos: Peak Racing PowerMax Sport 4200 LiPo 7.4V (Tamiya Plug) 45C Battery PEK00568 (138 x 46 x 25mm / 5.45 x 1.8 x 0.98") They sell on this side of the pond for about US$30.00... I'd love to know if anyone on here has tried them and any thoughts they may have. Thanks in advance.

Just emailed Amain Hobbies about it. Also, I emailed Core-RC (Schumacher) about it too in the vent that they can point us in the right direction. It is disappointing that LiPo stick batteries that Tamiya compatible (in terms of form factor) are so hard to find... Most definitively, I'll keep everyone posted on what I find out... Happy New Year to everyone!

Hello Chaps, Does anybody know where can I buy Core-RC batteries on this side of the pond? Due to Airmail restrictions, LiPo batteries cannot be shipped from the U.K. (or elsewhere in Europe) to the U.S. Also, they are sold out on eBay. Specifically, I am seeking Core RC 30C/60C 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo (CR293) or Core RC 20C/40C 4000mAh 7.4V LiPo. They are both 23.3 x 46 x 133.7mm and they nicely fit many Tamiya models, hence the question. Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide... Happy New Year!

Chaps, thanks so much for all the help... You're the BEST!

Hello, I am trying to find steel pinion options, but have been unsuccessful in the process. Specifically, the part is called MG7 (Tamiya Part No: 50355) which corresponds to 18T, 19T Pinions. Also, for a different chassis, I need a BC11 (Tamiya Part No: 13505014) 10T Pinion. I'd be very grateful for any suggestions of where I can purchase them... It appears that Tamiya does not make them in steel and only offers pinions in aluminum Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction... Happy Sunday!

Wow, I am blown away by all your help! Thank you TurnipJF and Mad Ax... Greatly appreciated...

87lc2, great thoughts and suggestions! Thank you. Immensely appreciated...

Hello, I am new on here and this is my first post... :) Concisely, I just bought a Tamiya WT-01N Volkswagen Amarok (ITEM# 58603) and am wondering if you could please point me in the right direction on the following: a) Can it be converted into 4WD and how? b) What is the best battery option for it? It requires a 7.2V battery (the one with rounded-case, which I think it is called Sub-C stick) and I'd love to use a LiPo battery if all possible. c) Also, what is a top-notch charger that you could recommend me? d) What are the most recommended upgrades for the WT-01N chassis and where it would be a cost-effective place to get them? (do you have a few websites that would be good options) e) Would any polycarbonate 1/10 or WT-01 body fit on it? f) Any particular makers of polycarbonate bodies that you would recommend? Thanks in advance for all the help! Very much appreciated...
