Someone else will chime in if that rhino lipo will fit or not.

But you might want to look into something with a bit more mah.
Im not familiar with riggers but i am familiar with batteries.

I run this (http://www.maxamps.com/Lipo-1550-111-Pack.htm) lipo in my Renegade.
Maxamps = 30x20x93
Rhino = 32xz20x89

Your rhino is wider, but shorter than my maxamps, but the issue is with height in the Renegade, and they both are 20mm tall. I say it'll fit. If not, you can always shave the top of the rear sponson boom. :zip-up:

I use a Flightpower in mine that is a slightly different shape than Diego's. I'll try to find a picture.

Yikes! :ohmy: LOL! I've considered that before!

I use a Flightpower EVO Lite 1320mah 3s, 18c-28c.

It is the older version of this:

3mm is new and unless you recently bought it with the request for the 3mm motor shaft, you don't have the 3mm version. :wink:

I ordered my motor with the kit... it is a gold colored motor (2600KV) and it has a 3mm shaft....

Where are yall ordering these boats from? I am interested in getting one as I just bought some small lipos for a 16th scale revo truck. Could someone please post a list of things needed and where to buy. I would be interested in used as well if someone wants to sell one.
