can i use 11.1v 5000mah lipo battery with this motor

Here's another link for you to see what I mean. http://www.rcshortcourse.com/forum/electronics/34248-castle-1410-3s-possible-problems.html

Yes, it can handle 3S 11.1v for a 2WD truck and watch your gearing and motor/ESC temp.

The motor will handle 3 s lipo but the esc is only rated for 2 s lipo. That battery will burn up the esc

Yes, you can. Bear in mind Castle released several versions of the 3800 motor + Sidewinder SCT; V3 (the latest) is fully supported at 3S in a light truck (ie a 2WD Slash or similar). http://www.castlecreations.com/support/documents/gearing_chart.pdf is the best guide showing exactly what is and isn't supported. Gist: 2WD Slash: 2S and 3S. 4WD Slash: 2S only (due to heavier weight).

No sir. Only 2S as is. However, if you use a lower kv motor than you would be able to do so, but out of the box you are looking at 2S. Check out this link....http://www.castlecreations.com/products/sidewinder_sct.html. 3S will work, but you will burn out the motor and ESC. Put it on an RC under six pounds for best performance.

you can use it with just the motor but if your going to use it with the stock speed control that it comes with it you can only run 2s lipo

While it might be awkward, you certainly could use a 12 volt automotive or marine battery. In fact, while I use mine with a lawn tractor, I use a marine battery used for a trolling motor rather than the tractor battery. This is because I was experiencing charging problems with the additional load on the tractor battery. I just strap the battery on the mower deck.

Yes you can. Just make sure to turn on the Lipo switch on the ESC. This allows the ESC to detect voltage.

The housing of the 40v might fit but I would not want to burn up the motor with a higher voltage battery.
1797039
Sure you can. I use it at 18v and get about 4.5hrs out of mine. Great little battery.

I using a Li-po battery 3 cell 11.1 volts 5000 mAh, and in term of battery size and weight is 1/4 of a seal leaded battery. Small in size pack with power!

The receiver is not connected directly to the battery and it doesn't really matter with the battery mah. It is safe to use with LiPo or any battery.

Hi msed, that motor should work just fine, the voltage in a 12 volt system varies, so if the motor voltage is rated a little higher it is better. During the charging of a battery the voltage is always higher than the nominal battery voltage of 12 volts by approximently 1.5 .

Yes it will work, but if you have brushless (Velineon) setup, I would highly recommend LiPo batteries instead of NiMH.
384395
Yes should work fine. However be careful not to over discharge the battery . Normally you would want a deep cycle type of battery. Their big and heavy. Just be careful not to take discharge below 11.5 volts
804067
Yes. It's equipped w/a Exceed 8.4v 3000 mAh Ni-Mh out the box. It does use a Alt. Batt LiPo 2s is recommended.

Absolutely, it is brushless, and goes like heck with 11.1 volt Lipo battery. option purchase.

you must make sure that the voltage is right. the other battery must have the same info like 3.7 5000 mil amps li or same make. if in doubt don't use
294788
that is what I replaced with this one. same brand and everything. as long as the volts are the same you should be fine. run time will increase, so the only problem you may have is getting the motor a little hotter from the extended run times. keep an eye on it the first few runs and you should be good.

if you have enough room to stack 2 7.2 volt packs on top of each other that's how thick this battery is another must is a speed control and motor that can take 11.1 volts I burned up my stock motor 12 turn.

That should work I have a smaller battery for a trolling motor that worked well for me.

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!
