I finally got some Traxxas batteries for my E Revo 2.0 to replace my Venoms after changing my mind about Traxxas batteries. These 50c burst Traxxas batteries really put in some work.
i like traxxas battery and charger combos, easy and plug and play to use, less chance for heckups
Super convenient for sure
That’s why I bought them!
Best way to go for sure
Traxxas ID chargers and batteries offer the simplest user experience in the market for lipo charging thats a fact, and after 20 years dealing with lipos, trying the traxxas chargers and batteries for the first time was like WOW, I ain't coming back to balance cables, correct balance port, playing the cashier simulator pressing buttons and inputting settings in the standard chargers-
About the miss conception of C rating It all comes down to the fact that there is no industry standard for C rating; as a manufacturer I can label my lipos as having 300C…
I have literally tested the traxxas against some fancy graphene 80/160C lipos and there was 0 difference in performance...
@@DashzRight oh absolutely
Always appreciate your enthusiasm and your videos!
So the venom lipos are 35c constant, and would be 70c burst rate. The burst rate is double the constant rate.
Dude, im so glad you are saying this...
I read so many bad comments about traxxas batteries... i have 5 different brands of batteries, and my traxxas ones all have the lowest C rating, but WAY out perform all my others! ♡Traxxas
The cam showing the controller and the way you do jumps and tricks is a great way for us who cant drive like that to learn.
Traxxas batteries have been very reliable for me for a long time if you treat them right they'll last forever
I know this probably doesn’t mean much, but I just got into the hobby, bought the E-REVO because of your videos, & I’ve used the Traxxas batteries from the start. I just love the convenience of their batteries & that dual link charger. It charges them in like 30 minutes & I can get about 45 mins - 1 hour of run time on my E-REVO with the Traxxas batteries. So I’m happy & don’t see a need to change
Yep. I agree.
I brought a e revo 2.0 just waiting on my traxxas batteries. They are 3s 5000mah 50c burst I was just wondering how long run time I would get with them as some ppl say 20 mins some say 45 to hours run time confused 😕
@@phatboi1988ful I can get 30-45 minutes with two 3S (so, 6S) batteries. I can get about an hour with two 2S (so, 4S) batteries.
I know it has been a while now but what was your average lifespan for one run On those batteries
I totally agree! Me and my son have a BRUSHED Mini e-Revo each, and the small 2200ah Traxxas Batteries. They make Wheelys all day long if you want, even though they´re "only" the brushed versions.
Another great benefit for me is the ID Connector. For an Adult it should be no Problem to set the charge rate right on a common charger, but it makes me sleep well to know that my 7yo son won't accidentally burn down the house by setting it wrong! This alone was worth it for me to pay 10€ more than a compareable aftermarket batterie would cost!
Greetings from Germany!
Maik
I agree about the Id connector.
You forgot to mention the far superior plugs Traxxas uses that don't make their battery look like an electric octopus with tentacles hanging out from everywhere. Just a comfortable, ergonomic plug with all the necessary power and balancing wires neatly integrated and safe from accidental damage. I have three RC trucks not made buy Traxxas but I use Traxxas batteries with applicable plug adaptors in each of the three.
agreed. the valance plug built in is awesome
If you are going to spend Traxxas level money, the MaxAmps with a lifetime warranty is definitely a good way to go as well.
Agreed. I dont run any sort of electrical components in my slash or 4x4 rustler including radios or batterys. I change it all out cause there all crap lol
What? The batteries for erevo from traxxas are $140... it’s $300 for max amps erevo batteries....
.
Traxxas batteries are $7 more expensive that the rc juice batteries. Lol.
@@jeffbryner5355 wow no electronics at all you say! Like a Flintstone car...lol
Yes just like that. Surprisingly its way faster then the vxl stuff amd way less smoke.lol
@@jeffbryner5355 So according to your comment you don't run ANY electrics? So how does it move? Do you push it around? Does it just sit on the shelf?
Very good video. The difference is ridiculous! This will help with my battery choice a lot. Thanks!
Thank you for explaining what the difference in c ratings
I think you like higher C batteries, not Traxxas specifically.
👍🏻
You couldn’t have edited this in a better and more simpler way.
Great job on the slow motions, and especially showing the points in time where the vehicles are in the air - including the throttle push & release times with the correlation to car’s orientation in the air.
Very hard to catch in real-time, but thanks to your editing, it’s very easy to see now 🙂!
Learn a lot about batteries in this video.. thanks
I’m using some old 4S 6700MAH Traxxas lipo’s. I charge them with a Traxxas EZ peak Live Dual charger. When I first got my X-Maxx these batteries were included used. I was getting the random voltage error thing. I ran the batteries, and storage charged them. It has totally fixed the problem! They are well worn Traxxas 4S 6700 packs too. My X-Maxx is a beast too. I love these batteries. I’m considering new batteries solely for cosmetic reasons. Mine are not as pretty lol. But outside of the label peeling on the end, and plastic housing, they work so amazing! And (2) 4S 6700’s last forever in an X-Maxx!
I have the Maxx and I love the standard batteries - I use both 3C and 4C. I believe that if you stick to standard and use the products the way they are designed you get the best experience.
Definitely not the best experience. Maybe the longest experience…
Perfect understandingly video! The comparison side by side was cristal clear. I use a 60c in my 2.0 it’s god for some last moment save in skateparks.
Nice crash at 10:40😜 Erevo is though baby!!!
Good video. I use Traxxas batteries as well. Thanks for posting 👍
Buy them at a hobby shop! That way if you have a problem with it new they will have to replace it! Awesome Revo and comparisons!👍👍😎👽
Ive only used traxxas batteries in my 1/16 erevo. Theyve been going good for the last 2yrs with no puffing. But, i use SMC batteries for everything else. Higher c rating and higher mah for a cheaper price. I love em!
The E Revo 2.0 has the perfect balance between wheelies and stability.
@John Lujan gotta pick up the full size version. With the new links and limiting strap chassis brace setup it’s a monster
@@V8chump which one is that?
I never had a problem with Traxxas branded lipos. Of course I only run them in my UDR and up until a few weeks ago in my TRX4. They are expensive when compared to other brands, but it's a direct fit for the UDR. I've got Traxxas, Admiral, Power hobby, and Venom lipos. The only ones I've had a problem with is the Power hobby. They aren't really all that old. Maybe 8 months max, but they are already puffing and the outer skin/shell layer has been cracking and peeling off after a week. They are 6000 mAh and 100c. I bought them for my Losi LST 3XLE and strictly run them in that. I very much doubt they are true 100c because the ESC on the 3X isn't that high of an amp draw. That being said, the 3X will do a standing double backflip with only the front diff oil in 500k as far as drivetrain changes go. I've never run anything else in my 3X yet, but the power hobby lipos get pretty hot. I think last time I checked they were 115°. Now I've also got a Super Rock Rey that runs 8s. Two 5000 mAh 50c that doesn't get hot. I'm pretty sure, not 100% that the 3X is 150 amp and the SRR is definitely 160 amp. The batteries in the SRR stay very cool and that thing has a LOT more power and amp draw than the 3X. It's a low CG rock bouncer that weighs a little more than the X-Maxx and still pulls wheelies if that gives you any idea. Anyways before I get off topic. I do try to run batteries the manufacturer recommends, not because of price, but because of as you said the calibration of the ESC. I really like the Admiral batteries and have been perfectly balanced, powerful, stay cool and are reliable but are hard to find for RCs like my 3XLE. I did find Lectron Pro 7600 75c that fits perfectly but haven't yet bought them. As I type this, I've only got 1 RC that runs Traxxas lipos, most others are EC5/IC5, EC3 or don't run lipos at all. My old Summit (which will be upgraded with a Castle Mamba Monster 2) only is able to run Nihm without external lipo alarms and my Revo 3.3 only runs a tiny Nihm to work the throttle and steering servos. My TRX4 is now running XT60 with the Hobbywing Axe 550 in it.
Oh man just found your channel and you made me want to resurrect my old Erevo broken since two years... It's just waiting for a new ride... 😁
DO it! get that thing back out. Or just buy a 2.0!
I like traxxas batteries.
The key to lipos is storing at around 50-75%. And cycling every now and then. Also C rating is something that should match electronics and car.
Just so people don't misunderstand Traxxas DO NOT SELL 50C lipo batteries. Only 25C with 50C burst there's a difference.
Well said, and so the Venom batteries has a higher C rating...
Just so people know, a 25C 22.2v 6S 5ah battery can power 2,775 watts. Nearly 4hp. With bursts of 5,550 watts, which is over 7hp.
What a great demo in the slow motion. What’s your thoughts 2 years later on running Traxxas batteries exclusively?And, what’s your vote between the E-Revo or the Maxx? Thanks for sharing.
I can buy 2 budget lipos for a price of one traxxas or 1 venom and so far after a year perfect if i bought the expensive brand rc i would be already dead expensive for nothing to my eyes
ZEEE Batteries have been absolutely amazing, I charge my 2s and 3s at 4.5A and they have no issues wonderful batteries so far.
Hoovo 3s 5200mah 50c over a year old still going strong. 30 bucks is a good price. Screw paying an arm and a leg for a Traxxas battery
I've used other good brands of batteries in my Traxxas RCs with no issues. However they are over priced, and having to buy their charger when I already have many chargers. But it's nice that you're approving of their batteries now since you love their RCs.
Wow that's awesome! Waiting on MAXX a Rustler 4×4 VXL and a mini revo brushed all supposed to be delivered this week... going Traxxas all the way! Glad to know it's worth the extra money to get the Traxxas batteries
Thats what I would do.
Great video. I knew the haters would be bashing it. The way I see it is if you can afford the traxxas batteries and want to keep your warranty its a no brainer.
Thats a huge difference 😯 nice vid again
Hello Sir, so my birthday is next Friday and I splurged and ordered a Erevo and a Maxx last week. I recvd the maxx yesterday. Beautiful amazing truck. I had a max amps 4s 6500 battery charged up and took it outside. It stuttered and hesitated to go and when it did was not that fast. My sons rustler 4wd xl5 was faster than the maxx. I got on the maxx facebook group and a couple guys said they have had the same issue and has been comnon the past month. So they said to call traxxas and they had to take out motor and esc mail back to traxxas and then wait 2 wks untill ya get a new esc an motor which fixed there issue. pretty pissed after spending over 600 dollars w battery to finally get this maxx that I been watching youtube videos on since it came out last October
Cool Video!! A lot of people say Traxxas batteries are overpriced, which is understandable, but it's interesting to see what they are like. The E Revo. 2.0 looks like an awesome RC!! Awesome running Vid. Thanks for the comparison. 👍👊😎
Thanks!
Actually on the side of my Venom 5000 30c batteries it says 60c burst rate. But I see what you're saying. It appears that the Traxxas battery is delivering more power. I've been using Venom for several years, but just ordered some Traxxas 7600 2c batteries for my Slash ultimate 4X4. I'll compare the two when I get them
Have around 20+ Traxxas batteries and never had an issue with them. All have great run times with plenty of power too. Thanks for the video.
Which batteries do you have?
Great video. Seems the E REVO suffers from body slap, just like a bunch of other cars. I have a lot of quick fixes, but my favorite and cheap one is to cut small squares of low density packing foam, like you would find in some new battery boxes, no styrofoam, and put them on the base of the body post. It's not perfect, but it works!
Those cars are built to body slap. Its to put less stress on shocks and shock mounts/towers
Great video, well demonstrated but what I take from this is not just Traxxas batteris but 50C batteries are an improvement. I have no Traxxas batteries and won't buy them due to the price but I have 50C Gens ace batteries 50C & 60C HRB batteries and some 50C & 60C Zop power batteries (save your money and don't buy any of these!). I think you can still go non Traxxas batteries and get that punch you like at a better price.
The main reason I havent used Traxxas batteries in a long time is price. I know they are great packs, but often twice as much as others. For example right now I am running Ovonic 4s 4500mah 50c packs in my Maxx. I paid about $70 for a pair. Before the Maxx I was using these on my Outcast 4s and have had no issues at all. As of right now one Traxxas 4s 5000 is about $120. I can get 3 other 4s packs for that price. I know they wont be as good, but its 3 to 1. Anyway thats my thoughts on them.
Why wouldn’t you compare 50c to 50c battery instead of 30c to 50c?
yep, not an accurate comparison unless they are the same C rating!!
but he was compating 30vs50c
@@fromfin90 Marko gets it.
Traxxas 20c out performs smc 100c battery. That's why.
It's amazing how many of you don't understand he was COMPARING A 30C TO A 50C TO SHOW THE DIFFERENCES! 😆😆😆 Reading comprehension isn't being taught anymore.
I have 8 3s 5000mah batteries with traxxas connecters.
2 traxxas, 2 HRB's and 4 yowoo Graphenes. They are all good. But i like yowoo's the most. Hard case and still fit the e-revo. All are close on power. I think HRB and yowoo are made in the same manufacturing plant.
my traxxas 3S was 2 months old and it almost went up in smoke
it was in my M41 boat and that thing takes A LOT of power
so the traxxas LIPO cant handle that.
What do you think about ACE batteries ?
Also if you drop the C w/o increasing the Mah, it won't have a high enough amp rating to support the amp draw of the motor.
To my knowledge, the C rating specifies the amount of current that can SAFELY be drawen by an appliance. By shorting any LiPo it will happly deliver several hundred C... and eventually go on fire.
Nice video! Can you please let me know the partnumber of the 50C burst battery? Thx
Man brother. I was just going to ask. This or the maxx. Then I seen your other video. So I came back to this one and had to ask. How you feel now with these battery’s for the e revo. I had these battery’s sense I got these Revo and it’s fast, has to be faster then the max. Cuz I can tell in the video from mines to the 35 cc. Big difference
You should do this with a data logging esc. I think the issue with cheaper batteries is voltage sag... you gun it and the voltage drops... if resistance is constant then ohms law says current will drop with voltage (v=i*r). Current = torque and voltage = rpm so you’re losing rpm and torque with voltage sag and your old batteries are behaving like a discharged new battery.
I have Traxxas several batteries that are over two yrs old and working like new.
I think the comparison is not apples to apples. The continuous rate on the Traxxas is 25C and burst is 50C. On the Venom continuous is 35C and burst is 70C (I checked their website before posting). The extra C means nothing if you are not drawing that current therefore on stock the E-Revo 2.0 needs 25C, if you provide it with a battery capable of 35C it will still only take 25C, the rest is headroom.
Where you have higher demand than the battery can supply is when you get brownouts. All in all, too little is bad, too much doesnt hurt but is money down the drain (especially if you are buying expensive batteries)
That said, HUGE fan of your channel, keep up the good work!
I know its supposed to be 70c from the venom, but these batteries do not act like it. They are about 8 months old. They should not be performing the same as the Venom batteries that I have had for over 3 years.
There is no industry standard for C rating, that means manufacturers can say that their lipos have 300C if they want. I believe Traxxas is a bit more realistic and conservative.
Highly noticeable, I AM a fan of the traxxas batteries, it's a never ending battle!! Anyone should see the difference in your video, easily
Yeah. I do know that I can get 50c Venom, but I like how the Traxxas batteries fit.
That f150 is nice as hell.
I’m a traxxas battery fan.. I put my sledge batteries in my sons kraton 6 with adaptors and he said it had more jam with my traxxas bats than his lectron 5200 50c with the proper ec5 connectors
Thank you
How much run time on the big batteries for the Xmaxx compared to the other brand batteries with a 9000mah?
You should also mention the safety aspect of Traxxas and Venom batteries. I've yet to see one burst into flames. They puff up after a while of use and abuse. But I've never seen one catch on fire.
my traxxas 3S was 2 months old and it almost went up in smoke
it was in my M41 boat and that thing takes A LOT of power
so they cant handle that
Afcourse 50c is more powerfull.
Just buy a 50c venom battery.
It will do the same asTraxxas.
And you can buy two for the same price
I use a traxxas lipo 6400 3cell in my rustler there amazing an with the traxxas charger you have no problems
RCtalk has a thread on battery testing with a ton of data. Most packs on the market, regardless of C rating actually test out to about 25c, including traxxas batteries. So, they’re not actually lower than most packs on the market, traxxas is actually being honest about their discharge rates while lots of popular packs are grossly over exaggerating their discharge rates. So most people are likely only running 25c packs anyways 🤷♂️
AFAIK there’s one or two manufacturers that he’s tested, where the C rating is as high as they are claiming. I like my traxxas batteries, I know they fit in the vehicle I’m running and they’ve never given me an issue. I continually get more run time than higher capacity lectron pro packs with my “weak and inferior traxxas packs” and all the while they consistently stay cooler and don’t trip the LVC under heavy load.
They do have rpm rod ends try them for the channel
I bought my traxxas rustler vxl packed with 2 3cell 5000 MAh battery 50c burst and a dual id charger two years ago booth batteries are still good.
Do you ever have any problems with the Traxxas battery the new ones 3cell 5000 on the battery?? I have the Revo 2.0 so it takes two batteries and when I plug one battery into my charger it beeps shows one light flashing .. I was just wondering if anybody else had that problem ??
Running lower cell burst capacity batteries won't burn up the esc. The drain on the batteries will cause the esc to go into low voltage mode which protects the batteries.
The bird disagrees with you.
MaxxAmps makes some really good batteries if you're going to get the expensive batteries you might give maxxamps batteries a go. They make them to fit most popular vehicles well and they usually are 100C discharge.
Do you have the TRX battery connectors/balance plug on your batteries or have you swapped them out?
I have traxxas connections on two of my venoms.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but unless those Traxxas batteries are a new type, they have always been 25c with a BURST of 50c. The Venom one with 35c is probably also continues and then has a BURST of 70c wich is better then the Traxxas. I now use Gens Ace with 50c and a burst of 100c. The batteries for the 1/16 VXL series don't puff because that system isn't that power hungry probably. (The 25c 1400Mah, 3s and 2200Mah, 2s) But i bought 3 Traxxas batteries for my 1/10 Stampede 4x4 VXL TSM, and they all started puffing from the first rides. I always treated them well, putting them in storage the same day of use, etc. Especially the 4x4 VXL system asks a lot of the battery and 25c of the Traxxas batteries just isn't enough and makes them puff. No problems with the Gens Ace, they are very consisting, also with charging times. When the Traxxas batteries are puffed, they also have inconsisting charging times because they don't balance that well anymore. Yes, i still use them, but always watch them carefully. They still fit the battery compartment, although tighter. One of them i only use for working on the car and testing.
The venom are supposed to be 70c burst, but they dont burst like it. They are only 8 months old and perform the same as my 3+ year old venoms.
Burst c rating and regular c rating are different. A standard c rating should be sustainable. Burst just means it can hit that current for a moment. The issue is all manufactures use different criteria for rating and most manufacturers outright lie. Unfortunately c ratings don't really mean a lot.
how do manufacturers use different "criteria" for a c rating? its a measurement of how fast it can discharge, its a math equation. thats like saying manufactures use different criteria for measuring 6 inches.
@@dirtrider88 they lie. There's no standard for if it's sustained, burst what's burst means, measure how or where etc so most is the number are made up.
very interesting video
good video bro!
i have had 2 traxxas batteries, one 2s 2200mah, and one 2s 7600mah both of them puffed up after less than a year. i generaly use gens ace batteries, they usualy have around 50c discharge rate. So far none of my gens ace batteries have puffed, and i have 5 of them. And the traxxas batteries costs almost twice as much as the gens ace batteries.
Nice informative video, but I run HRB and they’re great,and a lot cheaper!,my rc’s perform very well with the hrb’s to each his own. I like to save a little money 🤷🏾♂️
oh man I thought I lost one of my 6700 4s traxxas battiers the other day after playing in a mud puddle then hosing it off and then blown it dry w air compressor. I put it on my traxxas plus 4s charger and it kept blinking the 3rd light and not charging it. So I put it on another charger I had just straight charged it no balance mode for 40 mins. Put it back on traxxas charger and blue tooth on my phone read the cells as 4.1. and let me charger the battiery back up to 4.2. this battiery is over 2 years old. Thank Goodness I was able to save it.
Thats a close call
I buy Hoovo batterys off Amazon and they are good as new over a year old. 3s 5200 50c battery for 34 bucks is a steal
What car do you use them in? I’m looking for some inexpensive ones for my e revo
Hey I have a question do you know if there is a way I can get my new 4s traxxas ID lipo to charge again? I only used it once and I guess I ran it too dead now it won’t charge. Is there a way to save this battery or do I have to get another one?? I was told I could possibly charge it for 60 seconds on NiMH charger enough to raise the colts up so the live charger will charge it after that. Is that actor a bad ideal??
That's supposed to work, did you ever try it?
Urc got so big bc Jang said what he thought, ignored all others, based on facts and personal experience. He then left RC because of all the comments and BS. I watch your channel bc you have opinions and are not afraid to criticize products. It’s important to do that, they cost a lot of money and are just toys in the end. Anyone can show a vehicle running around the driveway and jumping off stuff it’s your content that matters.
Keep up the good work thanks
jang, was kind of arrogant. I think it's cool. Traxxas sort of made a car that he designed and built. But honestly him in contrast to RC Sparks was huge Hershey Sparks was fun and playful and talk to you like your buddy next-door Jan talk to you from a place of I know this and you don't know. I did watch most of his videos in my early years of TH-cam but it was almost like wincing every time I listen to him I'm kind of glad he switched over to Lego. I think that's a better fit for him.
Hey, my Traxxas Erevo 2.0 motor got fried… thinking about putting Hobbywing max8 with 2200kV combo. It comes with xt90 connecter and I am thinking if I should keep it and get some GensAce batteries or change Hobbywing ESC connector to Traxxas. And use Traxxas batteries? What would you do?
I find that only traxxas batteries fit correctly in the E Revo. I prefer using them just for that reason.
I brought a e revo 2.0 just waiting on my traxxas batteries. They are 3s 5000mah 50c burst I was just wondering how long run time I would get with them as some ppl say 20 mins some say 45 to hours run time confused 😕
It depends on how you drive it and what you drive it in. Tall grass will bog it down. Driving it wide open will kill the battery faster. I get about 45 mins.
What size limit straps did you use?
Hi any advise please. I just purchased my first rc rustler vxl with 3s lipo i plugged and played out of the box (fully charged battery) only got 11 mins run time on concrete do i have to change settings? Thanks
Read the instructions. The lipo instructions clearly state that when new it takes several charging and discharging sessions for battery's to reach full potential.
Traxxas batteries are ok. Especially if you're just getting into the hobby. They're expensive as hell tho. I've found comparable batteries for half the price as a Traxxas batteries.
Do you have stock gearing or is your truck geared faster?
Stock gearing.
What part of the world do you live in the scenery is amazing.. I need out of Las Vegas
I'm just south of Atlanta GA
Don't forget with traxxas bluetooth almost everything electronic is adjustable
Yep! Plenty of Juice these days!
Can someone link me to some good 2s 50c lipos that’ll fit the e revo 2.0? I feel like 4s might be a little safer parts and repair wise for jumps and running on dirt where power isn’t exactly needed
Why not try training mode?
Speaking about birds being "Active", have you noticed that the birds are starting to 'sing' hours before sunrise now? It used to be just as dawn they would start. Now, it's easily 2-4 hours earlier. Since you are also in GA and live in the woods, I figured you'd be a good one to ask. I am about to use some Traxxas batteries today so your video was also well timed. Another great video brother! Best of regards to you! Stay SAFE and SANE out there man! - Dave
I'm not sure about the birds singing. I have no idea.
Dude, that is crazy, in colorado as well
Jake, Thank goodness,! I thought that maybe I was going crazy. Yeah man, I used to be able to set my watch by them starting at 6:04a but now, I have (1) loud-ass F'er that starts as early as 3am!! Nuckin' Futs! (Are all those 5G towers F'ing them up maybe?)
@@DaveItYourselfChannel just enjoying summer
My rc store sells so many e revos that it's a few week delays on putting in orders. What batteries would you think would be best? What extra parts should I get if I'm running it hard in sand and gravel?
I like the Zop power lipos. Another good brand is hoovo. Make sure you get the rear chassis brace.
Power Hobby
I'd go with the Traxxas batteries personally. You should do the limiting strap mod, keep a bag of rod ends for the push rods, and have servos ready to swap out when they ones in the E Revo go bad.
@@outsourcedrc thanks
Yes the Traxxas batteries are good batteries. They are just as good as any other battery. I have several brands of batteries. I’ll only recommend ones that I’ve tried. Imo Traxxas batteries last a little bit longer but not the same punch but still good for sure. Not much of a difference. I like the Zop power. I have 2 sets and a set of hoovo. They are all about the same. Zop has the best punch.
At 9:00, couldn't you maybe program the ESC to use less power all at once?
My venom batteries for my xmaxx are 50c and you can get that same rating with the 3s batteries.
Have done any testing with bigger batteries in your X Maxx yet?
Nope
Changed his mind haha
Money talks bull shit walks..!!
Traxxas batteries are definitely way more expensive but as a father I would rather have my young kid(s) use a Traxxas battery. simple plug in and push of a button. no balance leads to worry about. another thing to mention that most people don't realize is that a lot of battery manufactures lie about the C rating where as Traxxas doesn't. C rating is a sales gimmick in most case scenarios. (I have 2 Traxxas 6700mah batteries that only have 25c)
Traxxas batteries are OVERPRICED. I bought some cheap 4s batteries off ebay and they are working GREAT on my xmaxx 8s. I'll probably never buy name brand batteries again. SMC sells some perfect batteries for your E revo. I do have 4 of those for my xmaxx. They do work great and you can choose the traxxas connector already installed.
mmmm....nitro....I still basically only run nitro. Fuckin' love the sound, the way they move, the cool factor of having a genuine engine in them.
There's one thing I hate about Traxxas their controllers. I'm talking about the TQ and that come with the revo or the 1/16 scale Summit. I cannot stand them TQ controllers they are so junk that's the first thing I would do controller upgrade. very nice Revo very nice I have all of them batteries too LOL
You can get other brand batteries with 50C or greater discharge. Its not a brand specific thing. It's what the cells can handle. Traxxas batteries are still hella expensive.
Hi, I got my E Revo recently and with it I had to buy a second battery. My old battery is 50C Burst and the new one I just notice that is 35C Burst. After I played a couple of times my old battery is not recognize by the Traxxas charger (both batteries are Traxxas as well). Do you think my new battery because is 35C Burst made my old one 50C Burst went bad? Do you have to have 2 identical batteries for the E Revo? I'm looking forward for you response. Thanks
Both batteries must be the same. It sounds like your 50c battery discharged at a faster rate and went below it’s lower limit. That pretty much ruins a Lipo. You might be able to get it to charge by putting it on a NiMH charge for a few minutes. Try that. Only charge it for a short time. Then try to charge it on your Traxxas charger. If that does. Not work, then the battery is probably bad
@@outsourcedrc Thank you very much. Have fun!

Thats them. They wont say burst on them, but thats what they do.
I’ve been happy with the traxxas batteries in my e revo 2.0, although I believe they are not performing as good as the did when they were newer. An X max is my next purchase and I was really unhappy with the fact that my traxxas dual charger I have for the Erevo won’t charge the 4 s Xmaxx batteries. I’m trying to decide on traxxas batteries or use the same 4s batteries that I use in my Kraton 4s.
Traxxas lipos are a rabbit hole you will need their fancy charger get the spektrum smart lipos smarter than traxxas lipos and they are standard for any kind of chargers and cost a bit less. They might be good lipos from traxxas now because before they were a fire hasard but is it reslly worth it? The price of two baterries for their fancy traxxas ID technology who just locks you to use their products
Sounds like Traxxas got to him. It’s well known that Traxxas contacts TH-camrs and “persuades” them to re-evaluate their opinions or statements. I saw this in a Mark Santa Maria and an RcSaylors video. Not a fan of Traxxas tactics.
@@fastdude2002 Traxxas has never contacted me, told me what to say, or given me anything. I never tell them who I am when I call them for support on a product.
Battery test start at 5:12 min , I have Traxxas batteries 5 3s 5000mah has 8 cycles no puff!! Only charged them on balance mode.
Shoot, I have 50+ cycles on my 5ah traxxas batteries... they run fine in my erevo.
