Thanks larry.

yeah...what 93TA said. I PM'd you back on it, Trinity I believe discontinued that item if I am not mistaken. It is basically 5 AAA cells in a 3-2 hump pack. You could make one yourself very easily. I do stand it on edge on the extreme rear left corner of the chassis, behind the motor, and in front of the susp arm.

I did that b/c I am scared of hanging it from the rear tower and having the thing knocked off and watching my ride go radio-less into the wild blue yonder as onlookers attempt to stop the car in the same fashion fumbled footballs are recovered in the NFL. We have all seen it, never pretty.

Trinity has a new pack out (#5307) that is more of a square shape. Not quite sure how they stuff 5 AAA cells into a square, but they do. This is an 850mAH pack. The "Expert" packs I have seen are either 650 or 750 which just means more frequent charging. The new Trinity pack will NOT fit under the front suspension brace for those who like it there.
