"...a Taigen Panther that Dominique at RCTank.de upgraded with an Elmod board." OOOH! Now that's cool. Maybe you could post some photos or a video under "Show off."

Ordered this one:

Almost 14cm long but the vehicle should have enough space for it. I think. :D
There's no build specs for a battery compartment or holder, I'll have to improvise that in the final stages.

you could 3d print yourself a battery tray and use a velcro strap to secure it
Just dont charge it whilst still in the tank tho in case something does go wrong charge it in a lipo sack/bag

It's a custom airbrush model: the 401 Barkmann with side skirts.

ok cool mate looks like your sorted :thumbup:
Just so you know if not using the lipo for a while or after your finished using it put it to storage charge
they dont like being left flat or fully charged for any length of time
