LRP 5300 lipo in Cat S1 Composite?

[ThePromise]

Has anyone ever tried the LRP 5300 LiPo in the S1 Composite LiPo Cat SX? Does the specifically shaped batterystrap fits well with the battery? Does anyone have any pictures?

Thanks, Chris

ive run the nosram version at the last couple off meetings in the s1,
they fit fine just add some foam to the battery strap,

I have just fitted a 5300 in my S! SX. I have fitted it upside down as you can with the lrp lipo. The unly snag was the left bottom battery lump is a tight fit near the pullys. Now I am not saying you should do this but I have carefully trimmed down the lug off the case. The lugs are hollow so it does leave a hole. I was very carefull when doing this !! And I have fiber taped over the hole ! I then glued the lipo retainers as usual to the underside. But the alternative is to drill holes in the chassis so they sit in properly ? So its either chassis or one lug.

Not posotive on this.. but i think it's against the BRCA rules to "modify" the battery case. Dont quote me on that though!
