A 500mah battery? Wonder how long that'll run for, 15 maybe 20 min?
I have one of these half tracks on its way now and I agree there has GOT to be a battery for them.

AH HA! Airsoft gun battery packs! When I get it I'll take measurements and I'll find one that fits thats got a good MAH rating.

Hey Horses...not sure how big your compartment is....but Helicopter batteries are smaller than most...you might want to try checking the specs on those

Those helicopter batteries only last like 10 minutes at a shot and then die FAST! I got a couple helicopters and they're all pretty much the same as far as batteries go.
I still think airsoft gun batteries may be the answer as they are designed to last a LONG time so you can battle with them. I have a few airsoft guns as well and their batteries last a good long time.

True that Jack...airsoft batteries last a lot longer...but are much bigger...Now if we are talking lipo.... I have two M3 grease guns that run off 11.1 helicopter batteries..they are tiny... about 2x1x3/4" and they rip for over 2hrs
