Guys, just wondering, what kind of lipo are you using with your Mini? My lipo is too "square" to fit the battery compartment of my mini. Did you modify anything so that it can fit in the lipo? or is there any "mini" specific lipo available? Thanks!

Square ones surely wont fit the minis.. I have exactly 2 of these 3600 yeah racing batts.. and yes it needs a strong push to slide it in my m03's batt hole lol

same thing applies when pulling it out very happy

The 3200's are a miniscule amount smaller and go in easier than the 3600's. Sometime having the battery in a little tighter is better....less chance of it shifting around...

Whatever you do, dont be tempted to cut the chassis to get a square one in, it is possible you will weaken the chassis....

i have these packs and have no issues using them on my M-05, they slide in and out easily - no pushing or pulling!
