Lipo Height in the SX/SXII?

[008-Racer]

Hi looking to get a used SX/SXII when funds allow

Can anyone please let me know what the maximum height on the lipo can be?

I have one of the new LRP 6200 I hope it will fit :-(

Many Thanks

I don't think you have a chance with that lipo.

You are looking at anything under 25mm. The sxII chassis accommodates the bumps / locaters as on some stick packs.

I just took a look at the spec on your battery, surprised it's only 25.1 high. I'd physically measure it yourself or try it in a chassis. You are really relying on manufacturer tolerances there.

maximum height is 24 mm. some of the bigger capacity lipo's wont fit unfortunately

Bugger the new lipos are 24.98mm high!!

Is it the pulley then that restricts the height?

Yes, its the front layshaft pulley that it fouls on.
I've read that some guys put aluminium tape onto the top of the battery so that the pulley rubs on this rather than the batt hardcase, and a friend of mine uses his harcase batt upside down (i.e. locator bumps pointing up!) and this just squeezes under.)

Definately get one with the locater bumps if your chassis is setup for that.
I went for the Speed Power 45C 5300mAH.
Good batt, and BRCA legal too.

I ran the same batteries in my SXII for nearly a year and not a single problem....

Does any one have a list of Lipo's that will fit, I'm looking for the same info as I want to buy a second Lipo. I'm using a HPI Plazma 7.4v 4000mah 20C Lipo Stick Pack and it only just fits..
