[tamiya monkey]

i have a fav which i do love to run, problem is only an old tired 3000mah pack thats lost its punch fits in the battery bay, i have 6 3700mah vapextech batteries that are too big and a reedy black label 2 3300mah pack that is a sqeeze to fit, has anyone found a battery with the same dimensions as the old batteries that fit this model.

Best advice is to hang on a few months. The battery manufacturers have been taking liberties with the tolerances in the battery dimensions for years. EFRA (and therefore the BRCA) have decided that from next April all approved racing cells must meet the ISO standards for Sub-C cell size and once the approval lists are announced on the BRCA website we should know which cells are race legal, and therefore the smaller size.

Thanks for the info terry, will keep my eyes glued for the outcome.
