Here is a link to the thread with a piccie of the cells in my car... thepred.proboards38.com/index.cgi?board=speedcontrollers&action=display&thread=1124723910Those cells were used in both my BK2 and my X10. They have since been changed so that they will fit into my Novak Smart Tray, so the +ve connection is on the side nearest the steering link. I don't see why you should be having any trouble fitting them inot your B4, as long as you have the connectors on battery bars (if you are using corallys) |

The B4 battery brace is pretty wide, so it's already 'hard' to find a good place to put the corally's, when I adapted my packs for the B4 they didn't fit the pred anymore.
if i place them like northy the corally on the servo side rubs the steering link.
if I do it like chriss, wires are to long (alot of weight ) and the corally rubs the chassis

if I do it like chriss, wires are to long (alot of weight ) and the corally rubs the chassis  There is not that much weight in the wires! I understand that weight is a problem with these things, and that longer wires can be a pain in the ass, but come on! My son uses my cells in his B4, running the wires off a Novak Cyclone esc (big & bulky), and he "only" runs a 19T "spec" motor. He is regularly in the top 5 qualifiers in the club, most of them running much newer, much smaller and lighter equipment, so to my mind, the weight in the wires is a non-issue. Crashing Less is much more of an issue to my mind! I dont have any clearance issues with the corallys mounted on battery bars with the B4, as far as I can remember....they certainly fit OK in the BK2 |

My cells fit in both the Pred and B4. I can take a picture tonight if you want.
IMHO its better to have the +ve near the motor to keep the wires shorter, not for weight but for resistance.
