can i use 3s lipo battery on this buggy ? its esc+ motor will burn, if i use 11.1v lipo battery ?

Yes you can. I have been running speed pack 1400 mah 11.1 v for a year. No problems with burning motor out.

Yes you can run on 3s but I don't recommend it for long periods of time maybe just speed runs. This buggy is plenty fast on 2s. I suggest making suspension adjustments and getting a set of tires that can handle the power. I run 2s with a set of 1/10 contact foam tires.

I wouldn't recommend a 3s lipo in this buggywith a 2s 25c lipo it's almost too powerful as it is with a 3s lipo I don't think you'd be able to control italso the motor would get really hotI've put a lot of miles and yes miles on my buggy and I've only used to ask I've never needed need for 3s 3s and it was just horrible because it was way too much power

I run a monster 3s battery in my buggy completely stock and I have never had an over heating issue. My 3s is 5500 mah and I get about an hour of run time on it. When I am finished running out my battery I can still hold my finger on the motor without being burned so yes you can run a 3s no problem

the stock battery that it comes with fits perfectly also an 8.4 and an 11.1 will fit without any mods done to it. And yes the esc could handle of a maximum of 11.1v battery. I would recommend the 11.1v 25c. Just as long as you keep the battery harness in it. Oh yea and it does cone with extra foam im guessing that its for any mods that is done to it.

The Brushed Motor systems can only handle 2S LiPo's. You would have to go with the 71074-1 brushless e-Revo to get that speed!

You want to look for an 11.1V (3-cell) LiPo battery (TRA2849, UPC #020334284907). The higher voltage is what really gives you the extra speed. A higher mah rating just gives you longer runtime. When you switch to a 3-cell battery, you will probably want to adjust your gearing as well. Your truck manual should come with a recommended gearing for running with 3-cell LiPo. Start with that gearing and run your truck for a minute or so and pull it in so you can check to make sure your motor and ESC are not overheating (brushless motors will be damaged if they reach 180 Def F). If they are getting too hot, drop a couple of teeth on your pinion gear to lower your gearing. You want to look for an 11.1V (3-cell) LiPo battery (TRA2849, UPC #020334284907).

You'll want better batteries than stock. Stock will give you maybe 15-20 minutes max, depending on how you drive, and maybe 30mph. Go LiPo, or 8-cell NiMH if you don't want LiPo. A 5200mah 3S LiPo gives me over 30 minutes per charge, and 42mph all stock gears. Also get the battery expansion kit so you can use almost any size battery you want.

No. It requires a esc and battery appropriate to that esc (7.4v NiCd or Lipo battery is most common)

Not with the stock battery. You can get a 2s lipo and use the low voltage buzzer with it. If you want to know if it will fit. It depends on how big your voltage tester/buzzer is.

The motor is a 2cell motor. A 3cell will eventually burn the esc. Best bet is to get a lower kv motor that can handle 3cell.

Yeah, some people will install the mamba monster motor and esc. But your looking at least another 200.00 plus the parts your going to tear up from the torque of new motor. I haven't install this motor package. Just using two lipo batteries the torque with the velion motor I had to upgrade my suspension to keep from breaking stuff.

I'm not sure what you are using the battery on, but mAH is Just the capacity of the battery, the amperage output of the battery would effect a motor's torque. Was the previous battery you where using a LiPo?

Might want to start with a bit smaller battery. 7.4V Lipo, mah number translates into runtime. Save some money with shorter runtime. Lipo will be noticeable difference especially with brushless motors. Nice truck, you'll like it. I recommend the sway bar kit from Traxxas, cheap upgrade, much better handling.

Yes you can run 2-3s lipos in parallel for longer run time. 3s max tho on that system.

It depends on which motor you are buying. The castle motor is 2200 kv and can handle 6s, my motor is 2150 from hobbyking and it only handles 4s or 12 nimh in series. This esc only handles 4s lipo or 12 nimh in series. I use 2s and 4s lipo at least 30c discharge rate and at least 4000 mah or two 6 cell nimh 5000 mah in series to run this bad boy. Great esc btw I have a 25 tooth pinion and 33 tooth spur and it flies in my revo 3.3 electric conversion, esc doesn't get hot.

It all depends on the motor and ESC you choose. The kit does not come with electronics so as long as you choose a 3s compatible setup it will be fine. I'm using the Castle Sidewinder 3 with a Tekin 35t HD motor and a 3500 mah 3s

Yes, I run 5400KV leopard 3650 motor on 3S Lipo with out even braking a sweat, no heat issues at all. Hope this helps.

I run mine off a 3S lipo (12v). It may have a voltage ranges it runs off of. I just don't have the manual in front of me right now.

depending on your motor & esc selection you should get 8-10 min. of run time on a 2200ma 3s battery.
