What kind of battery does this come with? And can it take Lipos?

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.

Yes you can. But, I would recommend the NiMH battery. When I went to the hobby shop to check on the replacement I found similar models with issues when using a LIPO. The culprit was the burning out of the engine.

The idea is do not over charge or discharge any Lipo battery (as well as your cellphone and laptop). Just full charge the battery and shoot tens of rounds, disconnected the batteries and put them in a proper place, then you are good with lipos.

The controller has a built-in battery charger for the small LiPo 70mah plug-in battery.The controller itself uses 4 AA batteries, and these are included. Nothing additional is needed.The LiPo batteries need about 15 minutes to cool before recharging.

Hi, These are the extra battery and charger that I ordered (I have the same model car): Traxxas 2923 8.4v 3000 mAh battery and Traxxas 2932 EZ peak fast charger. There are several other options including LiPo batteries, but I did not head in that direction. We've been pretty happy with them. Best of luck, the car is awesome.

Yes! Of course you need a battery holder upgrade. http://www.amazon.com/Bastens-2200mAH-battery-expansion-upgrade/dp/B00O2DIZN0 With LiPo's you get more power, longer run times, more cycles and most importantly the battery holds a charge. With NiMH you have to charge the battery before use because it loses a charge while on the shelf. Plus NiMH is annoying with the whole discharge/charge cycle maintenance.

It takes a "stick pack" style battery. Either a nimh (nickel metal hydride) 7.2 volt-8.4volt or lipo (lithium polymer) 2s (7.4 volt). Stock battery connector is molex type (tamiya plug)

No it doesn't come with a battery, I suggest a LiPo like sold here Bastens LiPo 7.4V 5000mAH hardcase battery & balance charger with included Tamiya connector adapter fits Axial Wraith SCX10 ARRMA Fury Granite Mojave Raider Truck Losi Night Crawler

The package with the controller does include the rechargeable LIPO battery. However, you will need to get 4 AAA batteries for the Transmitter. I would suggest getting an additional battery or the crash pack that includes a battery and extra propellers. The LIPO battery lasts around 8-10 minutes of run time per charge.

Only LiPo and LiFe. Haven't had a battery like that, and haven't tested it. Just get a charger made for the battery to be safe. Always

No. You will need a 3 cell lipo battery. You will also need to start upgrading parts as a 3 cell will start breaking stock parts.

It comes with a 7 Amp battery. However, it can also be equipped with a 12 Amp one, which we highly recommend. On any scooter the bigger the battery the more power and longer time between charges you have. I don't have the cost for that right in front of me, for some unknown reason but I will find it (probably just buried here on my desk) and post it later.

Yes, you need a battery and a Charger. Make sure to get a good charger if you buy LiPo battery, and NEVER charge it unatended as it can take fire! I will recomend you to get one LiPo safe bag aswell to keep the battery in. Otherwise than that this thing is ready to go! :D

Upgrading the battery is the easiest way to make power liposuction batteries are the way to go if it's a brushless set up u can go up to 11.1v battery extreme power the more mAh the longer it will run

Oops, I have 3 different type. You are correct our takes a fat barrel type of battery. Quick I still don't have a charger for but still be looking into one.

Yes.. Slow charger with a NiMH battery 1800mah if I remember... Don't think this takes lipo though

About 20 minutes. You can also use lipo pack's that will last 45 minutes to an hour.
