lipo

My 1/10 EXC Ruckus Monster truck has been upgraded to support 3S. Besides the battery and aluminum wheel hexes, only the ESC has been upgraded because the stock ESC Horizon Hobby limits its ability to 2S, even though the ESC's manual says it supports 3S. I'm not happy about the forced upgrade I...

Hey all, been searching around, but couldn't find answers to some questions I have about upgrading from nimh to 2s lipo. My truck is a stock ECX03014 Ruckus brushless 2wd w/ AVC, with a Tenergy tb6 charger. https://www.horizonhobby.com/products/ECX03014 My goal is to have better and more...

Hello guys! I bought a Ruckus 4WD with 3300kv motor and the tazer dynamite dyns2400. This things can work with a 3S lipo? thanks :)

Hi guys new to this hobby . Bought as hi Tech charger yesterday mini something or other. And a electron 5200 lipo battery...My question is do I need to buy a balance board or not still trying to figure this charger out and what I need to charge at...Thanks for any help. I guess its called a Hi...

I'm soon upgrading my 1/10 ruckus from 7 cell nimh to 2s LiPo. I want to gain a little top end speed considering switching from 87 to 85t spur gear currently have 24t (metal) pinion gear is plastic or metal better for spur gears?

getting ready to upgrade to a 2s lipo anticipating my stock plastic drive shafts breaking before too long suggestions for metal upgrades... seen mixed reviews on Hot Racing pretty new to hobby, so if i have to mod any, i want it to be a pretty simple mod and i've seen problems with some brands...

Well I'm finally gonna make switch to lipo power. I know I need a balance charger and I know I need to reset the lvc on the esc. It already has metal gear tranny. What else do I need to account for? --Different pinion gear or spur gear? --Can plastic driveshafts handle 2s lipo? --Anything else I...

I have been wondering for a while. Does anyone know if the C RATING effects the temperature of the electronics but NOT the battery.

I've had them a while. But I still can't think of a length of time that would be safe to have lipos fully charged. Any suggestions?

Looking for a multi charger so I can charge NIMH & lipo batteries. Anyone have suggestions or links, prefer one that's not going to empty my pockets, but still get the job done!! Thx.

Can i run a 3cell in a 2wd ruckus with a 5xl traxxas esc?

Can i use a lipo with the stock esc ?

Hello everyone, now that I have been more into the hobby I can show you my Amp and a few upgrades that i've done. Before the first run :) ECX Aluminum turbuckles, aftermarket front bearings, Boost control arms and links (shorter) Applied team Losi 40 shock oil, replaced shock screws...

SPC Racing made some of the best LiPo batteries for the price, one of my two favorite brands actually and now they have announced on their home page they are closing up. Hate to see it. "SPC will be soon closing its doors. New restrictive regulations, along with significant changes in our...

My zippy battery started to stay run only for about 3 to 4 min even thought my charger says its fully charged. I checked the volts and they are at full capacity what can be the issue with it ? Its a 500mah lipo

Hey guys, first post. Looking to buy my first AMP coming up and I've studied the forums pretty well, learning what I should and shouldn't do. One thing I'm going to do is upgrade the battery immediately. I read somewhere that if you upgrade to a 2s lipo, you should upgrade other parts as well...

LiPo's batteries range from all price points to really cheap (in every sense of the word) to crazy expensive and some are better than others obviously. For the price I personally think that SPC and SMC LiPo batteries are a great combo for price / quality. So, what's your battery of choice...

Reading all the bits about how good a lipo would be i'm considering just buying one to see the difference it makes. I'm not so much looking for blistering speed but more about longer run time. From the reading i have done the stock Amp can take a 2s lipo and one listed in some of the forums is...

Okay guys second thread here, I still haven't gotten around to doing an intro. I've searched the internet and still can't get any definitive answers. I want to upgrade my battery with an emphasis on run time over power, and kind of a short education on batteries and chargers in general. 1...
