Smallest 2s lipo?

[Boons]

Hi all,

I'm short of space in a car I'm building but wondered if any of you had knowledge as to what the smallest might be? Or are they all pretty similar?

Hard-cased lipos are all pretty much standard sized (stick, shorty or saddle sized that is). 'Soft packs' do not have the case to protect them, so you need to make sure that they are not in any danger of being damaged whilst in your chassis for racing, but they come in a massive range of shapes and sizes, with varying capacities....
Best thing to do is tell us what chassis you are using, and what sort of racing you plan to do.
Some championships or clubs insist on hardcased only, wheras the micro sections' nationals allow soft packs, but you are required to ensure that they are protected and fully secured inside the chassis.

Thanks for the post mate. It's my vintage Ultima and wi only be ran occasionally. My Turnigy pack doesn't quite leave me the room however my esc is quite big too.

I'm pretty sure there's a low profile 2s shorty on the brca list, it has the same foot print as other shorty's tho, can't remember who makes it tho

Search the brca website for the homologation list

What about half a saddle pack ? Pretty sure they're 7.4 v each pack ...

Nope,

Each half of the saddle is 3.7 volts.
