TOPIC:

If you are in the UK get vapextech batteries, I run their 3300mah NiMh and those are great. I have the 6 cell 7.2v which I use on most of my cars (it has the original classic size) and 5cell 6v which are great for the srb chassis. The 6v is still fast enough on the SRB not to break anything and still realistic speed. They also sell the mentioned 7.2v humpback Battery.
Wouldn't go higher as the 3300.

No one uses Ni-Cd anymore. Be aware that the chargers for NiMH are slightly different so you won't want to use your old classic Ni-Cd charger unless it is rated for NiMH. Some can do both.

Duh!
😂

Hi thanks I'm in the uk what is the length and width of the battery as the box on my car only goes to 120mm long

If you need a new charger check out SkyRC
The S60 (has AC) is quite nice or their IMAX B6.
