You need to use a LIPO tray to replace the battery trays in the car

Rudebits do a nice brass one to keep the weight low.

Associated do a carbon fibre version

Ive got the associated carbon tray , retails for around 18.99

Its a nice piece of carbon , however on reflection the brass ones probably a better bet as you could do with the weight to balance the b44 when jumping/ landing.

Mines is nose diving at the moment , perhaps down to the mid44 chassis.

I have the Rudebits lipo tray, I'd go for that for the extra £6, you will need the weight with lipo batterys. Most of the AE team use the Rudebits tray so it
must work!!

I cant remember if you can fit the 4800 in with the standard battery standoffs or not.

The tray is ok, same as the AE one really, but the standoffs are taller.

TBH, you might as well get the Rudebits tray and then use spacers to raise the AE standoffs.

Alot of guys are using the Rudebits tray cos its ace

The AE tray works perfectly with my Reedy 35c 4200 lipos. don't need any washers to raise the posts or anything.

You 100% need longer battery posts

I'm sure I have some somewhere I'll dig them out and take a pic


Use the original blue Alu posts but need a longer screw going into it with washer at top to stop it pulling through battery strap
