battery

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...

I am fairly new to the hobby and recently purchased a 1/18 Torment for me and my son to mess around with, with a NiHM battery that came with it, but was wondering if I could use a Lipo battery or if there would need to be some electronic parts upgraded or changed before I could do this.

looking to upgrade from nimh only have a brushless ruckus right now, will most likely get 2 lipo batteries maybe get a sct next year narrowed it down to these balance chargers 1--skyrc imax b6ac 2--kinexsis kx80 or maybe 3--tenergy tb6 anybody have experience with any of these? as of now i'm...

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...

Hello I have found my old Ruckus ( 2WD ECX2100 http://www.ecxrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=ECX2100 ) but i didn't found battery could someone help what battery to get (one that i could charge with original charger ) best would be if i could buy it in this shop (translated for you =...

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.

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.

Kind of a newbie so here's my question.....How long should a 5000mah NiMH battery run on a full charge? It seems if I let it charge for about 1.5 hours, I'm lucky to get 10min out of it before the truck starts moving on its own without touching the controller. Any advice?

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...

Hello! I'm new to the forum and RC scene and just got the 2WD BL Ruckus. My questions are, is it standard for the truck to get herky-jerky when the battery is too low or did I break my truck already? Because I would expect it to just slow down when the battery got low but the truck will just...

hey anyone know why, my car won't drive after I charge the battery. I'm running a Nimh venom 5000 8.4 v, it's weird esc turn on with the fan running, and my steering works. Just not getting anything from the motor. Just put a leopard skyrc 9t brushless in it, when it runs its ridiculous fast...

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...

Will the amp take an 8.4 7 cell battery? The chassis seems to have slots for velcro to hold one but not sure if the electronics will either deal with or maximise the use of one of these. Primarily looking for a little extra power during running. The 5000 7.2 battery currently using seems to...

I just got a Ruckus and an extra speedpack 1750mAh battery. I don't want to use the charger that came with my truck because it will take for ever. I have a Piranah Digital Peak charger. I know I will choose NiMh type and 900 or 1750nAh for the Capacity, but what about the current? I can set it...

Hello I just purchased the ecx ruckus torment truck and so far I love it except that the batteries run out in about 15 mins, right now I have the stock battery in it ; does anyone have suggestions for better battery w a longer run time? Price is no issue. Dacanes2004
