Kraton Max LiPo size for Kraton 8S

[christ0r]

Hey all. Looking at taking the plunge and getting an 8S but one quick question before hand.

I have read that the battery tray can accept up to a 139 x 46 x 38mm sized battery. How true is this. How easy is it to fit a larger battery. Is it the straps that are an issue?

Reason being is that the recommended Spektrum batteries arent very cost friendly and are only 5000mah.

I can get the below batteries which are larger capacity and cheaper too. Only downsize is the physical size.

The tray can be adjusted. Straps are really long. You will be fine ???
