Would anyone know if a 7.4v 25c 2200mah lipo battery would work? Would it be too much of a jump from 1500?

The pack will be too large unless it is ruffle the size of the original battery.but I do believe it will be too big.

2200mah is fine. That is just the capacity of the battery which will allow you to run for longer periods of time between charges. Just make sure that the physical size of the battery will fit in the battery tray. The factory battery is 25C continuous with bursts of 40C. if you have bursts of 25C, you will see a degrade in performance. A voltage increase will give you more speed i.e.. a 3S battery with 11.1 volts but is not recommended if you want to maintain control of this little truck.

It will work but thing is so fast already it's hard to control .. The 1500 makes it crazy to control

Good question. If the battery said 1500 mah on it, how do we really know its 1500mah? Think about it. A lot of batteries are overrated anyways. I don't see how anyone can go wrong at this price point, so just buy it and enjoy =D

This look like it: http://www.amazon.com/Hobbico-Battery-3-7V-140mah-LiPo/dp/B00BFA5DZG/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381848028&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=Great+Planes+ElectriFly+LiPo+1S+3.7V+140mAh+20C

I believe it would work. Although the last helicopter I had, used a 15c battery and this is 20c. The safest bet is to use a battery that is the same "C" or current rating as the factory/stock battery unless you are into modding of RC equipment. The difference between the stock battery and this would be more power and more flight time because of the higher capacity. Hope this helps!

Go to hobby king usa .com you Can find a 3cell 5000 lipo make sure you are on the usa site you will get a good deal on battieys there.all so make sure the burst rate is not over 35 - 65 max any thing over that and the esc will over heat and can couse a fire good luck.the sandman

Remember, Lipo will require a specific charger. Not real pricey and large range to pick from, worthwhile investing a little to not have to replace it again.

Dunno if this one will makeyour truck faster, which kind of batterie areu using right now? If u r still on 6/7cell lithiumion go and switch to 2s lipo packs, for thoseu will need a different loader than the standart one, but buying a lipo loader and 2 lipo packs realyisworth it cause with those u will drive for like 45 minutes, charge them in 1 hour and have like 150% speed and power.GreetingsRoger

I agree with Mr. Young.. mAh is just the capacity and has nothing to do with the actual output.. it's the 2.4v that's important. In theory, this battery should last a but longer than an 800mAh, but battery manufacturer specifications of their battery capacities are not always correct. At the price, these batteries are a great deal!

It is all based on how you drive the vehicle. If you are driving it hard and full throttle all the time your battery will die quickly. You should consider getting a 2s 7200 lipo

Stock batteries are very lame, buy 7.4 LIPO and you will be very happy, if a child is playing with the toy stock batteries would be fine you get about five minutes good power and it goes downhill from there, maybe 10 minutes

I don't have much experience with lipo's. If that's the 11.1v batteries then it might fit but it would be tight. There is a really good video on airsoftgi.com (I think) that goes over several brands side by side so you can see how big they are and which boxes are tougher.

I run it on 2000mAH LiPOs (careful, there is no LiPo low-voltage cut off circuitry) and I get a solid 20 minutes. The original 1600mAH NiMH Duratrax battery I bought with it was closer to about 15 minutes.Yes, 2 batteries is a must.

yes. 2 cell 7.4 will work out of box. have to turn on low voltage detection on the esc so u don't kill your lipo. I ran lipo out of the box then put a brushless velenion system in. fast little truck

You would have to stack the batts and since you at 3 v now, I would not suggest doubling at 6v. I'd look for another battery. Not very dependable.

Depends on whether you buy a reputable brand battery with accurate current rating at this drain rate. Most 4000mAH cells are not rated correctly and will be a disappointment.

I'm sure the voltage would be perfect, but it's a pretty bulky battery so I would measure the space you have before ordering. It went into a Barbie Jeep for me.
