“The battery is quite a bit bigger than the one that comes as standard in the car. Slightly difficult to fit at first, but once wedged in and strapped down it works perfectly. The higher capacity allows for more fun with the RC car. Highly recommended as a 2nd battery.”
“This is a decent upgrade . Cars faster goes for longer , battery is a bit heavier so jumping the car is different, but the extra pace makes up for it . Runs for about 3/4 hour or 20 mins or so flat out. Worth the upgrade in my opinion. Again thanks RC geeks.”
“This battery is sold as an 'extra' for numerous RC models however it is much larger than the standard battery for a BlackZon Slyder. As a result it is too big for the battery holder and falls out of truck.”
“I bought this (as recommended) with the Tracer but it is about twice the size of the original battery and doesn't fit the compartment. It can be balanced or wedged, but it didn't work properly. I should have made do with the supplied battery....”
Good morning David,
Thank you for your review.
I can confirm the upgraded battery does fit in the FTX Tracer, this car comes with a foam insert in the compartment to keep the original battery in place. To fit the higher capacity battery, if you remove the foam insert and the battery should fit inside the car.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
“Car arrived fine, on time etc all good.
Charger doesn't work, so have to upload a video showing how it doesn't work?!??! Not only can I not upload it easily, I have to go through loops to be able to do this!
Car fine, customer service and follow up to issues, not good.”
