Dang that is small.......and i see that it didnt cost so much either.

[m18_racer]

its actually about as wide as the micro-t. that just shows how small a micro-t is... 1.2" wide.

[TheSteve]

The size does look pretty good. I see it says 6 volts minimum, any idea how it will do on 4.8 volts, or even 4 volts as thats all the Micro-T has under load from the stock battery pack.

as far as stock battery compartment goes u will need something of smaller size. you could make a pack out of http://www.wattsup.co.nz/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1051&osCsid=cd7db5472ac826d8f90fdcb00b5399a5 .

Be aware that the ETEC 210mah Lipos are only rated at 800ma discharge max and the 250mah Lipos from ETEC only have a 1500ma discharge rate.

Not so good if you want max performance from your Micro-T.

[m18_racer]

whats wrong with the etec 250 :confused:

[TheSteve]

Nothing wrong with it, it just has very poor ratings compared to many other LiPo's. If you look at the discharge graphs for it(don't remember where I've seen them) you'll see anything over 5C the voltage really sags. You can get other cells that are rated 10C continuous and 20C burst, as a result they hold voltage much better under load and don't get hot.

I thought one of you guys mentioned before that this esc 's forward is not really proportional! Also the 6 volt min is a turn off. How about the xmc 180 by xray. that's pretty small and min volt is 4.8

also what about these Lipos?

I read people are wheeling on demand with these.

Do they fit in the stock battery compartment? If they are 30mm wide then I assume they are 40mm long or so.

There is a 250mah 10C LiPo that will fit in the stock battery compartment, I just got two for evaluation.

[mugmug]

30mm is the lenght and the 2 cell version is a direct drop in according to the guy who mentioned was using them in othe forums from other sites. According to him the power is extreme with these.

Which batteries did you order?

[alfred]

The xray esc should hold up well in the T........the esc minimum voltage does play an important role, anything below that can cause the esc not too function to it potential.:(
