What is the most best non-expensive battery for this rc truck

The best price batteries I bought were from hobbyking for lipos. Prices vary depending on witch size you go with. Most all of them are decently priced.

U can use either reg battery cables or smaller 12V cables, battery has both large & small post. I've had 1 for 2 yrs its a good battery for trolling, get 4 to 5 hours on 50lb motor

Put in two LiPo batteries in parallel and lower the gear ratio and you'll have all the speed and more power than you need. Go to your local RC dealer for the best advice. I would definitely invest in a Traxxas 6 amp battery charger.

The battery provided with the Stampede lasts 30 minutes or so if the truck is driven on a paved surface. If used " off road", the battery life is noticeably less. If a higher capacity battery is desired, the Racer's Edge NiMH 5000 mAh , 8.4 volt hump pack with TRX plug gives a very long runtime. Keep in mind that the longer the truck runs on a charge, the hotter the various electrical components can get without a cool down period. All other thing being the equal, speed comes from battery voltage, runtime comes from the mAh rating of the battery. MAh is milliamp/hour, power over time. So the higher the mAh rating, the longer the battery will last at a given discharge rate.

A 12volt car battery will work. But most people including me, use a deep cycle marine battery. It lasts longer per charge.

Any deep cycle battery will work fine. I use the same one as I use on my trolling motor and don't have any issues.

I get my batteries at Amazon 6v batteries 4Lr44 very reasonable best price, regular price about $9.00 for 1

Don't know if it's the best, but the minnkota.c30 works really well. You have to use a compact battery, I don't think a regular battery would ever work, too heavy.

no need to upgrade battery. If your truck battery Voltage is between DC 10-30V, just connect the electric wire with your truck battery. Thanks ATC LC

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!

All of the vehicles listed are great RC's, however, it comes down to how fast you would like to go for how much money. The Volcano and Blackout (Brushed & Brushless) are both affordable and fast vehicles. The Stampede is a superior vehicle but it also costs twice as much. In our opinion the Redcat vehicles are the best value for the product received.

The battery is of fairly standard physical size. You can get replacements at any hobby shop. There are user websites you can find that give this type of information. Some users even move the battery to lower the center of gravity of the truck.

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.

I'm not an expert, although I play one on the internet, that being said it would make a good accessory battery for a mid level stereo. Someone interested in a battery for a really high end stereo might consider a blue top. I relay like these batteries and have had really good experiences, in one case I pulled one from a vehicle of mine that t-boned another vehicle folding the front bumper even with the front wheels.

AA NiMH. I use Sanyo Eneloop - much better than the stock batteries and I keep the original batteries as a backup.

This is a great battery for your truck. Bought it for my son and it makes a huge difference. Truck is faster and runs x3 as long. For the price it is worth getting 2 batteries. Great for days when you take your Traxxas to the race track. If you are going to take the time to drive somewhere you have hot to make the best of your time. Don't even own the original battery. Life span so short it is not even worth charging

I'm pretty new to RC cars myself, but you will definitely need the right connector on the end to use it. To know for sure, check in the RC car user manual to ensure it can use a 6-cell NiMH battery rated at 5000 mAH.
