Which ESC does this come with? And does it support Low Voltage Detection so that LiPo batteries can be used?

I have had many hours of fun with this. Have driven on the street, in a gravel pit, in the rain,and snow. Crashed it in to a moving gravel truck which ran over the front end. After that I put in a brushless motor new front suspension and straitened the body. Only complaint is it goes so fast that on a rough surface you cannot control it. Five out of five stars.

To be honest with you, this product breaks easily. The antenna snapped after three times of rolling over. And once it did break the range for the remote control is only about 20 feet. It does get rocks in the engine compartment easily so it does jam up. You only have a 30 day return policy. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Not worth what you paid for it

There is nothing to program. You just plug the balance connector (on the lipo) to this voltage checker and it displays the cell voltages. Couldn't be simpler.

Just plug it in to the balanc port of your lipo lining up the negative pole on the tester with the negative slot in the plug. If you have it plugged in correctly it will automatically turn on with a loud beep and display voltages for overall and individual cells. It should be set to alarm at voltages 3.3v per cell from the factory. There is a small button between the buzzers that you can raise the voltage limit when you have it connected. It automatically resets to 3.3v when you unplug it. Mine has worked great for over a year. Hope this helps.

If you want something that will allow you to charge the OEM battery in directly I don't know of one. D. Myatt's link may have something. I know NightFlyer on YouTube took one and modified it to take other batteries. It appears to be a simple JST type connector so you may be able to take a connector and plug it into your lipo charger if you've got one.

Only if your ESC is rated for LIPO batteries or you have a LIPO alarm installed to protect the LIPO from getting ran too far down.

It shouldn't. The rustler ESC is similar (I have a vxl) and I am pretty sure it is rated for more than 2s. Just don't run it continuously until it is drained, and turn your lipo mode on to prevent battery damage. If you need to run it continuously, get a fan for your ESC and motor.

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.

Negative. You would require a way to monitor cell voltage if the 18650 were not individually charged kind of like an rc lipo with the balance plugs. Check out the arduino as a charge controller in conjunction with this boost buck.

This motor & ESC combo can use both Li-po and Nimh batteries. You have to set up your throttle control, but its programed for Li-po. You can reprogram it for NimH if you want. The combo is rated for 11.v 3s batteries max.

Check amazon under Lipo quick charger or Horizon Hobby or Tower Hobbies etc...

Yes but Do Not Purchase! . They are a cheap brand from china that will eventually cause extreme damage to your esc and motor. After a couple run times with my mamba monster, these unstable lipos caused my car to catch on fire. The "C" rating is greatly underrated.

Yes, it took me a while to figure this out and almost returned mine as well, this green / red flashing sequence is the result of the esc being in low voltage protection state for LIPO batteries and out of the box this car comes with a NiMH battery pack. After the light flashes green / red (OR red / green for that matter) release the button and it will shut off. Then proceed with the instructions to to turn the low voltage protection state off (confirmed by a number of beeps). When turning it on the LED should light a continuous red now. Hope this helps ...

Yes, you have to add the battery and motor connectors but the wires are soldered to the ESC

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 would recommend at least a 2S lipo battery, you won't be sorry. Tested with a NiMh, but I got a lot more power and runtime with a 2S lipo. I didn't bother to reprogram the ESC just to have the NiMh as a spare, so it's been in storage ever since.

You will need a lipo battery charger. Also a matching receiver for your transmitter to go in the Radian....great present!!!

... that question would best be answered via Googling. or, You can read up on basic electronics .. or contact your local HAM radio operator. As for Castle ESCs, you can call them for a clear summary/explanation of your question. Dave
