I have heard venom lipos are very bad what do you think

These batteries have been great to me...the only problem I have ever ran. In to is the connectors they are very stiff and hard to connect and if u dont connect them fully the battery will act like an ass lol

I have had no issues with mine. They do tend to have more punch so I had to adjust my slipper clutch. So far all good.

The only way lipos can damage the battery is if you don't change the motor clutch gear to the small one it comes with.. Yes I've seen some people hit 80+mph

I'm not sure but I wouldn't get this battery. Mine broke within a week. It won't charge anymore and I bought it on Amazon so I can't get a refund from venom

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

I am using energizer "ultimate lithium" batteries now. They are expensive, but no harmful effects noted yet.

Yes, I regularly use lipo 4000 mAh 3 cells. they last for 20 min and you'll get a top speed of 30 mph. I have used 4 cells and got up to 40mph.

No and no. And I would avoid this trainer like Ebola. Pay more and get a Kurt or cycleops.

Recharging a lipo that has been puffed, or has less than 1v per cell is DANGEROUS! Once a lipo has reached this point, continued use may result in fire, explosions, serious injury or death.

I am 58 and this was my first RC Car. The standard battery will be fine to learn the controls, however do your research and upgrade your battery once you feel confident. It took me about a week chasing the cats around the living room each evening doing figure 8...LOL I picked up 2 LIPO batteries 25C 7.4V 2S 2-Cell 2200mAh Lipo Batt:TRA 1/16 Modland a Traxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6 Amp LiPo and NiMH ChargerTraxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6 Amp LiPo and NiMH ChargerBEFORE YOU BUY...do you homework on LIPO Batteries.The LIPO's will give you the "kick ass" speed and power you will want and appreciate. I live on a golf course and in between golfers I sometimes race it out on the fairway and open it up..."wow". It goes fast. As far as 4 Wheel Drive...YES, YES & YES!Enjoy!

Yeah, they are pure crap. Spend the money on better batteries. I learned from experience as well.

Yes that is what these liquids are for this 5 pack of oils will probably last around a week if you use your vape alot and kenna ferral the comment below me has no idea what they are talking about you can choose the flavors just dont get strawberry or kiwi those sucked ( in my opinion)

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.

There is no plug on the Venom. There is a row of pond along the bottom that allows you to use the battery cell balance lead to connect it to the lipo battery to monitor each cells voltage, and the total voltage. Hope this helps. Keep flying

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

Yes, your HPI FlUX XS will handle a 3S LiPo which the Venom is - check out this page for details from the manufacture:http://www.hpiracing.com/en/kit/106571

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.

Oh yea it will! Your rustler will just plain get it with this set up! I would just run a 2s lipo though, until you want to make people cry :) I would also recommend the castle link so you can program it with your computer. You will need to set it to the nihm setting and then change it back to lipo so you will be able to run it until you get your lipos.
