why does my lipo 2s 4000 mp batteries die so fast with traxxas summit.

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

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.

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

I just stuck with a Traxxas receiver and linked it to the TQI that came with my XO-1. I use the 5000mah 3s batterys that came with My XO-1 as well. I have a Venom pro charger and love it. Had for many years. I have several Traxxas vehichles and have never had an issue with their electronics so I stick with them. Hope this helps

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.

I would definitely be blaming the stock battery mine only charged like 3 times before it would barely move after charging it. Get a lipo battery.

Yeah it will. I have mine in a traxxas slash lcg it's crazy fast. With the extra weight u have. You should go with a higher lipo. I use a 3 cell.

Best thing is to look at your manual or look it up online. If your motor isn't designed to handle 11.1 lipo then stay away from it.

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 suggest testing the voltage with a multimeter on the main output wires and if its below 6.0v (considering a 2S lipo) your charger may be correct and you have a virtually dead lipo (damaged cells or esc over discharged) or if its above 7,4 it could be your charger (faulty) or one of the wires not making a 100% connection.

The stock Nimh battery lasts about 12 minutes on a full charge. I recommend upgrading to lipo power asap

Traxxas sent out a replacement driveshaft. Broke on first battery. Their suggestion was to upgrade the driveshafts to metal. The hobby shop took care of the motor and speed controller. If they hadn't I would've been out $100, half the cost of a new one through traxxas.

You have to have the traxxas charger that's capable of charging 2 batteries

I run dual lipo's but I only monitor one battery at a time. When the alarm sounds for the one I charge both. The monitor will handle several different cell batteries but I believe only one battery per monitor. It works well for me and a lot cheaper than a new esc.

Hi, These are the extra battery and charger that I ordered (I have the same model car): Traxxas 2923 8.4v 3000 mAh battery and Traxxas 2932 EZ peak fast charger. There are several other options including LiPo batteries, but I did not head in that direction. We've been pretty happy with them. Best of luck, the car is awesome.

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.
