that garage looks awesome
Thank you!
Another great vid.. :) many thanks
Thanks! Hope it is helpful for folks.
Happy thanksgiving Troy and family.. great video
Same to you!!!
Great info Troy especially pointing out how you can get a less powerful battery and sort of de-tune the car for a longer life. Interesting how some of this parallels what is done in 1:1 cars. Thanks for all your videos Troy and a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Thanks Rick!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for sharing Sir👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic information 👍🏾👍🏾
Glad it was helpful!
I'm glad I know now what I didn't when I started in wonderful hobby about batteries lol! Great video! 👍
Yes! There is a lot to learn for sure!
@@RoadsideRC happy Thanksgiving to ya'll!

Great info on getting the Right lipo
Thanks for watching!
@@RoadsideRC Happy Thanksgiving
Troy > great stuff as usual. Looking for a link for one of our “Newbies” & you nailed it > thx man.
Glad to help!!
I mostly use Zeee brand batteries at this point. I run their standard shorty 2C batteries in 5500mah with 100C discharge for turbo/boost heavy and bashing. And their small cute little 2C 1800-2200mah 50c batteries when I just wanna slide around the kitchen or crawl. :D The smaller ones have yet to fail during turbo/boost for me but I dont hit it all the time on my slick floors. I do miss the weight the shortys bring though.
Fun! Thanks for sharing.
I have been considering trying some of the
@@RoadsideRC I say it sounds like a new video subject :D I really love the tiny batteries, they last ages and the weight is much less. :D
Great vid, great channel! I have a noob question though, if I may (which you kind of answered in the video I think). I have a Quantum Maverick MT and the manual says it can run on 2S or 3S LiPo, but @ 7.2v… what does it mean to have a 3S run @ 7.2v? The exact excerpt in the manual says “3S LiPo or 9 NI-MH : 540 or 550 size motor ≥ 18T RPM < 2000 @ 7.2v”… If you can help me make sense of that I would be so grateful and will leave you a Thanks donation (: Just trying to learn here so I don’t have to ask my husband everything!
Hi there!
That is some unusual wording in that manual. It would be easy to get confused by that.
It is giving a motor rating for which 3S lipo is safe to run. It is suggesting more than an 18T motor for using a 3S lipo. The truck comes with a 15T motor - so that means it does not recommend using 3S.
@@RoadsideRC That’s so confusing, why say 2S OR 3S in the first place then! Sheesh! Thanks for the info, I’m sure I may have more questions in the future so I left you a small thanks donation (:
This is my personal preference.
Bashing around or any high speed racing - Hard-case Lipo for extra protection
Do you use a hard case or soft case for your bashing vehicles? Thanks
Both. I have not really found a benefit of one vs another.
What types of batteries last the longest. Are there any that last longer than 15-20 mins? Or maybe even an hour?
The higher the "mah" of the battery, the longer it will last.
Measure the battery box dimensions on your vehicle - and compare it to the dimensions of batteries you find. Fitting the biggest mah battery you can get will give you the longest run time.
All 4 of the 6s rc lipo packs I’ve had puffed and dropped cells on me… Unfortunately I’ve talked to numerous other people who had the same problem as me.
I haven't had that issue, fortunately.
@@RoadsideRC good! I should add that I’ve also talked to a few people that haven’t had problems as well. It seems like those of us who have had problems it usually happens in the first couple cycles of the battery. So now whenever I see someone with them I try to warn people to keep a close eye on them because one person said they had one start on fire. Glad yours are working well though and hopefully they stay that way. Happy Thanksgiving!
👍🏻
I've had horrible luck with ovonic packs. I mostly ran them in my 6s arrma mojave. They just can't supply the amps to push the big trucks like my CNHLs or Gen Ace packs. (This really shows in their smaller FPV packs) Even running them in my 1/10 scales trucks the run times is only about 60%. I'm 100% confident you get what you pay for when It comes to lipos! Buy nice or buy twice in this hobby 🤣
Interesting!
I have had good luck with Ovonic, but not great results with CNHL. Odd how that works!
Why is it S, cell starts with C 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
It is silly, but that is how it is.
There is also the "c" rating of a battery for discharge rate. Perhaps to avoid confusion there?
guess could be a bit of a minefield but your information should help a lot
*full view🥸Au💯👍left a like for you*
That is the goal!
