Only fit with some modification of the battery box-extensive cutting likely.
Yes, it could handle it. Extra weight offset by the extra power to some extent.

I used to use a 1400 AA pack. Battery door would not close. I just rubber banded it open at about 45 degrees.

Why would you want to? I put in my zip and came up with $12 shipping. So that's like a $47 battery. You need to get a new charger anyway for that one so for a little more you can do better with lipo, and I'm not the person that blithely tells people to go out and get lipo.

IMO shopping for RC stuff on eBay is a shortcut to being disappointed with rare exception.

I agree to an extent, I did not plan on getting it. I was just wondering, Only way to learn is to ask questions, so thats what I was doing. I am looking for a larger Mah hour battery to extend flight times is all What pack are you using? what do you get for flight time?

Thanks

Buy a good charger, because a charger is a wise investment in your hobby. Then start using Lipo batteries (3s 2200mah). This is the best avenue for performance and flight time, without question.

Fly it low !!

One other observation, it seems quite a heavy pack for the size.

Pretty much the largest mA NiMh pack you can stick in there and fit is an 8-cell 1500 elite pack from cheapbatterypacks.com.

The other way to learn is read posts. People have been asking the same questions for a really long time. You learn to cruise and separate the chatter from useful info pretty fast.
