magnumb 97 Posted April 12, 2017 What 2S Lipo would fit nicely into an ORV chassis? Looking to get some more cells for my Blackfoot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leckster 34 Posted April 12, 2017 My boy and I run Turnigy Nanotech 4200 2s 7.4v 25c stick packs in our Blackfoot and Monster Beetle with great success. They are a snug fit length ways, but nothing a couple of spacers can't fix. Happy to send a pic of them installed tomorrow if you like with part number. About £16 and last 40+ mins hard running on the stock motor!.... If only it could have been like that when I was a nipper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theibault 1535 Posted April 13, 2017 Pretty much any battery fits if you use some of the brass bushings that come in the kit (provided you have replaced them with bearings) as spacers on the battery mounts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1499 Posted April 13, 2017 Use the Brass 850 bush as Theibault has said . Works great !. As you would have put in 850 Ball bearing's in other kits . So you have a stash of bushes . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeaMonster 506 Posted April 13, 2017 As above, I used the nylon bushes as spacers on my frog for a lipo to fit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magnumb 97 Posted April 13, 2017 Now I think I might try a 550 sized 21T motor and would like to run 11.1v....any 3s batterys that would work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njmlondon 570 Posted April 17, 2017 Core RC batteries are exactly the same dimensions as the old stick packs and fit an ORV perfectly with no alterations at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njmlondon 570 Posted April 18, 2017 9 hours ago, Pintopower said: Wow and they are hard case? Ill need to order some! Yup, hard case. 136mm long and exactly the same shape as the old stick packs. Even fit perfectly inside a 959 which has the tightest battery space I have ever come across. More than enough power too for most classic / re-re buggies, trucks and cars.

magnumb 97 Posted April 18, 2017 For a 3S pack this thing looks super slim. Wonder if it would fit the ORV??? http://www.smc-racing.net/index.php?route=product/product&path=67_99&product_id=433 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magnumb 97 Posted April 19, 2017 I'm hoping with MIP Diff it will be able to take it....also running a 550 21T, so if it goes it will go quick:) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njmlondon 570 Posted April 19, 2017 What ORV gearing is it? The Beetle / Blackfoot or Frog / Brat Take a video! That is a power! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magnumb 97 Posted April 19, 2017 2016 Blackfoot. May also use a transmission brace that runs through the idler gear. Going to try a 15 tooth pinion at 1st and see what temps I get. From my understanding the Holmes Hobbies 550 21T run fairly cool. Going to gear up until I get to about 140 degrees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cesco 187 Posted April 23, 2017 Alternative for the Core RC one, exactly the same size: Available at Tamico, Ebay or yuki-model.de. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ann3x 220 Posted May 12, 2017 Read this: http://www.blackholesun.fr/en/41-en/rc-tech-guides/208-nicd-nimh-life-lipo-batteries-and-plugs?start=7 Make sure that what you get is 134mm long or shorter (or you'll need extenders for an ORV/wont fit at all on some models). Core RC, Yuki, Jamara, Robitronic options are available (+ others i expect if you search). The key is to check the length, many packs state "tamiya compatible" but are 4-5mm too long for a direct fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will a 550 motor like the traxxas 12t titan fit in the orv? Id be interested for my monster beetle. I know it has a longer shaft so that concerns me fitting the pinion to the spur gear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
