If you put in a traxxas rustler, what is the top speed with a 7.4 volt battery, lipo or NiMH

It really all depends on the gearing you put in. I got in a sc10 with a 7.4 lipo with 87 tooth spur and 22 pinion and it goes about 35-40.

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

Anything new is going to be a brushless motor. I would compare the emax with another traxxas truck the Revo. The Revo seems to be more stable for cornering. Check out Lipo batteries too, they last longer and makes the truck way faster.

The Brushless 71074-1 E-Revo with LiPo's will get you there to 50 MPH!!! Have Fun!

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.

I use the Floureon 11.1v 5500 mah battery. A little on the heavy side but no problem for the 525. Over 12min. flying time. Had a problem with battery plugs until I found the Traxxas Style TRX connector. Tried the Deans plug, Banana plug and Bullet plug. The Traxxas Style TRX came out on top, in my opinion. A little soldering involved but worth the change.

Yes it is all Traxxas parts. You will probally want am extra battery because the 7.4v battery will give you about 25 to 30 minutes max run time and the stock charger takes longer to charge. Purchase an aftermarket quick charger to get charging times under an hour.

Must have accessories are a bastens lipo battery,Traxxas AC/DC fast charger, and slipper clutch assembly. Bastens Lipo 7.4 5000mah-2c max discharge 20c constant/30c burst discharge will make your VXL go 50-60mph and last longer than NIMH stock

Might want to start with a bit smaller battery. 7.4V Lipo, mah number translates into runtime. Save some money with shorter runtime. Lipo will be noticeable difference especially with brushless motors. Nice truck, you'll like it. I recommend the sway bar kit from Traxxas, cheap upgrade, much better handling.

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.

It does come with two NiMH batteries. The Product Description states model 5607 which comes with the batteries. It does not however comes with a charger. I suggest the EZ Peak Plus from Traxxas. It will charge the NiMH batteries that come with the truck and also will charge LiPo´s once you decide to upgrade your batteries later on.

I would recommend the Traxxas TRA2933 charger - It will handle both regular NIMH/NICAD and LiPo batteries, and is AC/DC so you can charge at home and out in the field.

As always it is recommended to stay within the limits set by the manufacturer. This is a brushless speed controller and is best served by lipo batteries. Today's power systems are simply too much for NiMh packs.

Yes it will fit in a rustler. A nimh will work but you will need either a program card, or the usb controller to turn off the lipo cutoff. Make sure you turn the cutoff back on before you run a lipo. Also check out smc batteries, they are inexpensive decent quality lipos. A 5000 mah 40c should work just fine for you and they are under 30$.

45/50ish, u need a 3s lipo,gear change and tires to do 70+. ur battery is weak point. go lipo.

It goes about 30 to 35mph on the stock battery, and, on a surface with lots of traction it will do on-command wheelies. With two 7.2v nimh batteries (Traxxas-2925-Series-1200mAh) and a series connector (Traxxas-Series-Battery-Connection-Harness) and the spur gear (that comes in the part bag) it will do 50 mph. I think it is a great car for both beginners and advanced drivers.

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.

You need a good battery charger. I also purchased two 11.1 V LiPo batteries. You may want to have your son operate the truck with the 7 cell batteries before running with the larger 11.1 LiPo batteries which will make it much faster. I live out in the Texas Hill country and have a front yard 200 ft deep and the truck will do a wheelie the whole distance. I hope this helps.
