201 Vega (gen 2) chassis & LiPo's

Toon · #1 07-05-2013

Do any of the shorty LiPo packs fit in the Vega 201 gen2 chassis, or is it saddle packs only? I'm running a standard 201 at the moment, but have just bought a Vega equipped 201 from eBay (this one in fact - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vega-201-g...vip=true&rt=nc, a very reasonable price I think!), and am looking at what LiPo's would be suitable.

shorties do fit across rear but need a mod to battery strap

Take care!
All shorty don't feet in the chassis...
Reedy 4200 is ok... Not IP for example...

I have received the Vega now, and the battery 'compartment' measures approx. 94.5mm x 94.5mm

Is there a Reedy 4200 shorty LiPo? There is a Reedy 4100 shorty available (part #602), but the specs say it is 96mm long. I like Reedy electrics (I use a Reedy LiPo & motor in my TC), but would prefer to get a shorty over saddles as they are cheaper!
