Yes, I bought the kit and got the XRP batteries. Very powerful and holds charge longer. Love it.

Mike, I'm sorry, but it's been a while since I bought my Champ and later I bought 2 extra batteries. Was the rubber and double-sided tape in the box with the Champ or were they shipped with the battery? I don't remember seeing either item. They can't be too critical since I've had my Champ for about a year and haven't needed them! I got a small piece of velcro for securing the battery in the Champ. That's important. Sorry I can't be of more help. Phil It just occurred to me that I'm assuming you are talking about a Champ electric RC plane, but maybe not.

The charger is agreat idea, I suspect it only works with older RC. I solved the problem by getting rechargeable batteries and a charger so I always have fresh and just charged my helicopter from the remote unit.

Go to your local hobby store that sells RC cars. They should have different connectors that should work with what is on your ESC. If not you will have to buy and replace all of your connections to the same connectors. I have multiple cars and I use Deans connectors on all of them. They can handle as much battery as you can give them.

I got the E-flite Celectra 2S 7.4V DC Li-Po Charger since it was pretty much the least expensive charger for this particular battery. Just make sure you get a power supply for it if you don't have a compatible power supply since it is not included. For a battery you need a 7.4V 2S 200mAh 25C+ Li-Po

The one I bought came with a wall charger. I bought a separate charger to charge batteries more quickly. You may want to consider doing this. The charger that came with the car is very slow.

To be honest bro if I had to do it over Id buy the more expensive car that's better quality. It doesn't drive all that well, and the battery charger already broke from just regular use after two weeks. I must say it is pretty fast for the price. But you get what you pay for. Good luck bruh

I would recommend getting a smart charger to charge any airsoft/rc battery. They are better than the stock charger

SPC Racing 7200 mAh, 2S hardcase is a great battery and not too expensive. Find a balacing lipo charger capable of sourcing 5-7 amps and you'll be set. Traxxas Lipo chargers are fine.

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. Your 13 year old is going to be blown away on Christmas because this thing is AWESOME! Good luck! Sorry for the plain 'ol "yes" answer earlier! That's the only option my phone gave me!

Adkins, thanks for the information. Gomadic's battery pack seems to be perfect form me. It is small, light and costs only $19.95. I'm going to order it.

My own Red Top was purchased recently, but I understand the vintage Red Tops are like that old VW in the Woody Allen movie Sleepers, worth keeping long after other batteries have cranked their last solenoid. And an absolute stranger told me this Thanksgiving that using a regular charger on any Optima battery is tinkling into the wind. I'll bet the Optima battery charger would revive it for many more miles; mine even resurrected the supposedly dead Interstate battery it replaced. For the record, I've heard the old Red Tops were even better than today. But I like mine just fine, and wish you good luck with yours.

Ryobi's been using the same battery standard for over ten years. They've been through three generations of li-ion and at least one ni-cad in that time, and any tool will take any battery and vice-versa. You may need to buy a charger that will handle the new battery packs, but the entire point of their One+ system, their entire decade-long marketing campaign, is that everything works with everything. The only difference you should notice is that old tools are different colors than your new battery, and that everything works better now. Not a shill, I swear - just an *extremely* satisfied customer burned by discontinued batteries more than I like to think about.

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.
