I got that new version and yes, it does not have the fan. Also, I think maybe the battery compartment is a different size now. It seems to allow more standard sized batteries.

I bought this one, and it fits very nicely (143x51x28mm) and is quite cheap:

ZIPPY Flightmax 5800mAh 3S1P 30C




It fits very snugly. I don't think the battery could be any bigger in any dimension. Especially the width. I don't think you could squeeze 29mm in there unless you moved some of the plastic straps.

I replaced the bullet connector with XT60, but you can also buy an adapter with wire or without:
- Adapter with wire
- Adapter without wire



Best regards,
Stein :-)

that would figure, I placed my order mid February so I wonder what style engine cover I'll get. rather the older style to be honest. (newer looks a lil case-ish) Good info on that battery as well.

I like the new rear panel. I personally would replace the red lenses with some clear one's and put the reverse lights there with a slow vehicle triangle on the back

That gives you time to do a one over. Check all your screws and connections to make sure they are tight. Also check your terminal block to make sure nothing is loose, as well as your RX connections. Looking forward to the pics!

Nothing else it gets you to know your machine. Running those lights will require some stuff taken apart and seeing the "guts" to it.

looks like cab removal,rear cover and exhaust platform. and sure of plenty others.would like to run it a few times before tearing it down for light install and inspect for any issues. Shipping only very minimal oil from the vent line leaked. so I'll top it off run it thru it paces and change. clear line from tank to pump shows golden oil so should get thru some testing before a flush, if and when the battery gets here.. pure torture.. I'm not so hot for the radio kinda looks a little toy-ish but main concern was that it got here in one piece and I'll take that..

Yeah I recommend selecting a balance charge if you have the option on your charger. Every cell gets an even charge this way. Check youtube for help videos, there's most likely a video about your charger.

well there goes that idea, got the battery all juiced up and bang-o.. crap sound quality followed by no sound at all.. somthing loose, a good love tap to the cab and I get a lil tease. but everything else is going great. with some of the shipping horrors ive heard with r/c machines ill take a crapped out sound kit any day. sound or not i still love it.

yep the leads to the speaker itslef are loose. easy fix. I would like to swap steering and tilt. anyone know which channel steer and tilt are on? to keep me from pulling one at a time, as i received no info on this radio or any paperwork for that matter.

Here's the wiring diagram for the loader. Steering is channel 1 and I believe tilt represented by "dump bed" channel 4.
