Hey guys, I'm using the castle 1717 combo and I'm thinking of finding smaller 4s batteries that will fit the stock box.
Does anyone know of any batteries that fit? especially in the 5,000mah range?
I found some batteries in the 4,000 or 3200 mah range that will fit

Planning on running at 8s on 75% power to get the equivalent of 6s power but at a higher voltage.
EDIT: that battery linked above is spec'd lower than recommended, but the way I see it, I'm increasing the voltage by 33% and decreasing the mah by 25%, then reducing the max power to 75%. So I should have plenty of overhead. Theory anyway.
