does it take your run time down or no on a 2s LiPo?

Barbara, good question and let do the math. Turns out this kit uses 30ma ... so if you run your car for 1 hour that is 30mah. I have to assume you are using a 5000mah battery so in the end it will only cost 30 / 5000 = 0.6% of the run time or in other words for 1 hour of drive time it costs 60min X 0.006 = 0.3 min. In short *NO* it is not affecting your over all performance of your car.

stock battery is NiMH and it goes for about 20 minutes. I upgraded the batteries to LiPo for the fun factor and goes about 30 minutes. I put a fan on the motor to help the heat. Batteries are expensive but get a decent pair of 3s LiPOs and you will be happy.

Rajesh, The run time depends on the size of your battery not the inverter. Joe

You get 10+ minutes run time with the standard 1300 lipo battery. 15- 20 minutes with a larger 2200. The 1300 takes a half hour to 45 minutes to charge while the 2200 takes an hour or more. I know the run time doesn't sound long, but it feels longer because you can cover alot of water in that time with the excellent speed.

I have the availability of 3s on my TH for the days i just wanna go insanely fast. Most of the time i do run 2s because its enough speed. Also if u ever wont to put the esc in something else you'll have the option for 3s if it can handle it. Hope this makes since. I run 3s instead of 2s in my scx10 for the times i need just a little more brap to get over something i just cant crawl.

You can't use anything but a one cell LiPo, but you can use a larger capacity single cell. A larger cell gives longer flight times, but poorer performance due to the weight. In such a light aircraft every gram counts. The 75 MaH battery that comes with it gives plenty of flight time. Just buy a handful of spares for more flights.

2s lipo for sure, 3s will run hot and cause the esc to do a thermal shutdown after about 2 mins on a Stampede 4x4 geared 11/52 with proline trenchers

I do not know about running it with lipo's. I will say that the fan runs very fast and loud on my NiMH 7.2v. I would just concentrate on the motor temp and call it good.

Probably not. I run a three cell lipo (11volt) in my slash, and it does 60mph. Stay with traxxas though. I had problems with other brands.

Actually, if you are using stock batteries it will only wheelie if it goes backward fast and suddenly changing to full throtle forward . However, if you're planing on using Lipo batteries in the future, then it will be a good idea buying the wheelie bar.

First off, this battery will not fit the Slash 4x4 unless you modify the tray to strap it down.Secondly, you should not drain Lipos. The furthest you can take a Lipo battery is 3.3 volts per cell, in this case, down to a combined total of 6.6 volts.Third, the battery will not cause heating issues if hooked up properly. If your motor is running hot then change the pinion gear with one that has a lower tooth count. Don't go drastic changes either. For example, if you currently have a 20T Pinion, then dropping down to 18 would be good; dropping down to 15, not so much.

This charger most certainly WILL charge both dual 2S and dual 3S lipo batteries however you will need to purchase the appropriate Traxxas dual charging board Traxxas part numbers 2917 and 2918. I personally use 2917 and it charges 2 of my 2S Lipos at the sane time. It works great. Keep in mind the batteries must be of the same make/model/cell count. meaning you have to charge two identical 2S or two identical 3S lipo's at the same time.. You CANNOT charge batteries of different compositions at the same time.. ie charge a nimh at the same time as your 2S lipo.

It depends on how hard you run it but I get a little more out of the Lipo than the stock battery it came with. The big difference is that the Lipo delivers consistent power and doesn't trail off until it discharges.

It won't go 60mph on the standard motor and a 2s lipo. The best you'll get on the standard motor with a 2s is about 35 and a 3s will get you around 45. Both are very fast though. Go to the traxxas website and they will give you the breakdown of the batteries and what speeds you can obtain with each.

With the stock battery around 12 minute's. .i bought a high performance battery as an extra and it runs almost 25 minutes. . Charging varies with battery size.. around an hour i think. You want to let a Lipo battery cool down before you charge it.

You will likely fry the esc. I am not as familiar with nimhs. I run lipos. Are you running in series or parallel?

you can use it with just the motor but if your going to use it with the stock speed control that it comes with it you can only run 2s lipo
