Yeah should be no problem

Might have to adjust the battery tray so they’ll fit

If not @dure16 makes some extended battery trays for it.

Thanks @PeighDay

@slick - yeah those batteries should fit the Kraton but you'll need a different battery tray to use them in the outcast. PM me if you need some.

how in hell does that tray slide

how in hell does that tray slide

The one I made? It is just like the stock front half of the tray and does not slide. Only the rear halves of the trays slide and I did not replace those.

However, my front trays are 10mm longer to fit big batteries.

does anyone have a video on sliding this battery tray apart

Loosen the two screws from underneath. Then slide. Then re-tighten the screws.

What are you getting for runtime with these batteries? I'm debating if I was to get an 8s or just guy a Gas truck instead.

+1.
True dat.
Mine sucked.
Is it even worth trying to fit these subpar high capacity lipos?
Just buy proper fitting and better Lipos for this 8s.
9000mah packs are just large. Too large in this case. I agree, a 30+ pound 8s rig just doesn't run long with say 5000mah packs, I get it.
Try for 7000mah give or take. With higher "Legit" C ratings. Can't be cheap about this. Dam the 8s cost a bunch already, Why skimp on the lipos?
ALWAYS Check lipo tray dimensions against a brands dimensions. The larger Mah, the larger the packs dimensions become. And larger Lipos make the rig too heavy at some point., You will be breaking more arms and all this way. There is a trade off with longer run times. Govern yourself accordingly.
I wouldn't search for the largest capacity pack in all cases. 10-15 min run times are normal. If you are looking to run for 30 min, you are being greedy.
Just shooting yourself in the foot.

I get 30-40 minutes running 9600mah batteries in an Outcast 8S. It’s perfect.
