Default Ax10 Saddle pack

I bought the mounts for the saddle packs on the AX10 and made a saddle pack from some cells I had. The problem is that the batteries hit the inside of the tires. Do I need to get the axle extenders to widen the wheelbase to eleviate this problem or are the saddle packs from crrccrawlers smaller?

My advice is to use some tie straps, zipties and mover them futher away.

I bought batteries from TCS and they work really well. Here's a link for the batts.... I also took a picture of my Ax so you can see how they fit on mine. They work great. What size batteries are you using?

The cells that are in the pics are 2/3 A Elite 1500's.

If your using larger cells (like sub Cs) then you'll have issues.

Like Fisherkip, I am also having this problem... Can I run four cells instead of 6? I'm currently running GP3300 sub c matched cells. If I do, should I use a receiver battery to help power the High Torque Servo for my steering?

I ran mine yesterday for about an 2 hours off and on and still has plenty of juice. I charged it for nineteen hours the night before verses quick charge. One Saddle pack would definetly get me through a Competion.
