Does it get too hot while running 3s lipo, my I am going to use it in a traxxas, my gear ratio is 26/76, it

I have ran a 3s in my stampede with 23/80 and it does get hot, it is do able but I would take frequent breaks to check. I had a 18/76 in there and ran stone cold. Going to try the 18/80 once I get a new pinion. My 18t took a dump so thats why the 23t is in there. Hope this helped.

I use this 3S lipo in a Slash 4X4, and how you run it dictates run time. In my case, running it hard virtually non-stop nets me about 20 minutes. First runs at more reasonable speeds (getting used to the truck/battery) averaged 30-35 minutes. Be prepared though if you've only used 2S lipos, as this 3S made my Slash 4X4 an animal!

A 2S Lipo is best for this system, I would not go 3s as it will fry the esc

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.

Im pushing 2 12s and I've never had a problem with it getting hot. Good amp for the money

I only ran this once with the stock motor and speed control to test it out because I bought it to run brushless with the all steel gears that it has. It's not very fast out of the box, probably like 15 mph . I never tried it with a Lipo, I removed the factory motor and esc and put in a 3800kv brushless

It only runs hot if you put it in a vehicle over 5 pounds, but you can get fans for the motor and ESC to keep temps down. Also, if you put it in a vehicle over 5 pounds, gear it down, otherwise, it doesn't run hot at all. I recoment a 19t pinion and 86 spur if you have a 2wd.

Yes you can run 2-3s lipos in parallel for longer run time. 3s max tho on that system.

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.

Not sure, I have a Traxxas Rustler VXL and depending on gearing or driving, I get 25 to 30 mins. But it has A LOT of power.

Yo man for me it takes 2hrs to fully charge a 2c 7000mh Lipo pack. Want this car to last? Upgrade ur fRont suspension make it stronger. And buy better shocks bc these will pop out. Oh and the servo will break edventually get a metal gear servo. ThIs buggy with upgrades 520 $ in this car so far for me

Your gear ratio will depend on how hot it will get.Normal operating temp for that device is 140 to 160 anything above that your going to start asking for problems

I assume you have brushed 550 looking to upgrade to run lipos to bash. If that is the case I would not recommend wasting your money on this setup. You will wind burning this up in not time Finding a better a esc / motor combo will save you money and fraustration in long run. I personally have have mamba max + neu motor set in my merv. The power and torque is ridiculous on 3s and the temps do not get out of control.

I have this in my traxxas summit and its pretty fast. It does depend on the gearing you have, its not typically a fast motor, my summit is just made to go fast. Mine probably runs around 25 mph or so, I never really go as fast as it can.

With a 7.4 nimh you get around 40- 2s lipo you get around 55, with a 3s lipo your touching 70, but only if your car is under 5 pounds

The ESC does support 3s, but most of the vids on youtube that speak about recommend against it. You'll be replacing parts alot more frequent if u do...i hav two venom 2000mah 2s lipos in mine and thats plenty wheel poping power...even thow i hav geared down mine. The largest 2s that will fit, according to the forums is 2400mah. And if u decide to go 3s, the largest that fits is 1400mah. I hav not and will not use 3s on mine. This is for the brushless version...the brushed, stick to nimh...lipos will burn out ur motors faster than nimh...check out youtube and forums to get better info

Mamba max pro sct edition with the 2400kv motor is another option since you can run 3S batteries.You can try other gears like higher pinion..My 2WD is 19T and I went high as 26T.The spur is 83T.Get a temp gun and watch for temp of the motor.You can go 5700kv because 5700kv per volt is 1000 rpm.57,000 rpms..more top end or more torque at 2400kv.Change gears first to learn.
