Recommend me a battery for a B4 please.

[Spoolio]

Have decided to dust off the old B4 but need a new battery. As I remember it - it was nearly 2 years ago - the LRP 5300 40c stick I used was so tall that there was no room on top of it to slot the end of my Rudebitz battery bar under the rear tower. So I ran it with the rear end unsupported and put all my faith in the front thumbscrews holding it all in. Don't really want to do this again so is anyone running a thinner Lipo pack with a decent output that they can recommend? Ta.

I filled the underside of my B4's shock tower slightly to overcome the same problem.

Any lipo up to 25mm tall should fit fine though, I know 5000mah 50c Intellect's do.

New B4.1 rear shock tower has more clearance for the batteries

Reedy 5500 60c sticks are what I run

Being out of the frame for a while does anybody do saddle packs that would fit the B4 tub now? It'd widen my options if I decided to run 4WD too (if I stick with a stick pack I might have to dust off the old Tamiya Durga too and I really can't be bothered with that).

I have an old B4. I also have some saddle packs. They fit without problems, but I've not ever run it that way (the b4 still has brushed gear in it - must be 3 years since it last turned a wheel in anger!)
