Can you run this truck on 6s lipo?

I am not 100% sure but I think this truck will not run on 6s lipos. If I am not mistaken you would have to upgrade the esc.

Sorry for the plain 'ol "yes" answer earlier! That's the only option my phone gave me! To go along with the yes, to be exact you will need a rechargeable LiPo battery and a LiPo charger. If you go to www.axialracing.com they have loads of helpful information to include battery and charger recommendations and then you can shop Amazon for deals on both. Axials website also has a bunch of very helpful hints and tips on the entire truck to guide you through anything you may encounter with your scx10.

I'd say it is a good upgrade. You'll appreciate it more when you use a lithium polymer battery (LiPo). Just make sure that your controller will be compatible with the upgrade set. LiPo battery is not that essential yet. You may also want to check on the battery and motor connectors for compatibility purposes for the whole vehicle.

That part number is no longer available. It is the same truck, they just don't include the LiPo batteries in the box any longer. You have to purchase them separately.

Yes and with the lipo batteries I was surprised to find out it is the fastest 4x4 truck on the planet with reverse. It's amazing. Don't think twice just get it. You won't be disappointed.

The Brushed Motor systems can only handle 2S LiPo's. You would have to go with the 71074-1 brushless e-Revo to get that speed!

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

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.

Yes but you can more the double your drive time with a LiPo battery upgrade. LiPos make the whole experience more fun. The stock NiMH will not hold a charge on the shelf and do not have as much run time. Plus there is the whole conditioning steps that should be followed when charging a NiMH. With a LiPo battery they are easier to use, last longer, and add a little more performance.

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.

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

Much better. Runs cooler and faster. A definite upgrade. Only drawback is ESC isn't waterproof. But it can handle I think up to (at least) 4s lipo (which should only be used with lower kv motors)

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

Well you have to upgrade your pinion and spur gear then add a 3cell lipo and you can archive 60+ mph But i had to put a fan on both my esc and motor to keep them cool because the electronics overheat fast. But research the gear ratios online. Mine goes 63mph as far as i have tested. So much fun. Get a chassis t-bonevprotector tho. At that speed if u spinout u can break your chassis.

Yes...just do what directions say to turn the esc to low volt detection.....I run a 3s lipo in mine

Not unless you are an electrician and know how to wire a battery pack big enough to run it li j ely a deep cycle truck or marine battery. Since you asked I will assume you are not an electrician. So no.

It depends on which motor you are buying. The castle motor is 2200 kv and can handle 6s, my motor is 2150 from hobbyking and it only handles 4s or 12 nimh in series. This esc only handles 4s lipo or 12 nimh in series. I use 2s and 4s lipo at least 30c discharge rate and at least 4000 mah or two 6 cell nimh 5000 mah in series to run this bad boy. Great esc btw I have a 25 tooth pinion and 33 tooth spur and it flies in my revo 3.3 electric conversion, esc doesn't get hot.
