No I dont think so. I have this adapter for charging two 7.4 v 2cell lipos. I have a Traxxas charger, but any charger should work.

Hiya... Traxxas sell duel charging adapters for 2cell lipos and 3cell lipos but ya can only charge 2 at once.. And I think there only for the traxxas eazy peak plus chargers... If ya have two 2cell lipos you'll need traxxas 2917 duel charging adaptor.. If you look at the pics you'll see two white connections for the ballance leads on ya battery's... These are smaller on the 2cell adaptor the 3cell adaptor ones are a bit bigger... That's the only difference.. Hope this helps..

My son uses it on the Grave Digger and Son-uva Digger Traxxas trucks. He also uses the "EZ-Peak Plus 6 Amp LiPo and NiMH Charger" and a lipo charging bag/sleeve with it. I think it would work, but you should be able to find compatible parts on the Traxxas website just to be sure. I found this there just by looking quickly: "To prevent over-discharging, only use Traxxas Power Cell LiPo batteries with an electronic speed control (ESC) that has a low-voltage detection system or alarm. All current Traxxas vehicles equipped with the XL-5, VXL-3s, VXL-3m and Castle Creations ESCs have Low Voltage Detection."

Sounds like you want to use a NiMH charger (7.2v) for the LiPO battery (7.4v). No, that won't work... it will likely burn up the battery. You have to use a LiPO charger.

I am sorry John, I am just a hobbyist too and does not sell any extra batteries for the stampede. When you buy the Stampede, it comes with battery (NiMh) and a charger (slow charger). For extra batteries, you might want to visit traxxas.com for specifics (LiPo batteries are highly advised but needs a special charger). And for cheaper batteries, you know where to look at, Amazon.com. I hope this helped you decide.

It does come with two NiMH batteries. The Product Description states model 5607 which comes with the batteries. It does not however comes with a charger. I suggest the EZ Peak Plus from Traxxas. It will charge the NiMH batteries that come with the truck and also will charge LiPos once you decide to upgrade your batteries later on.

Thanks to everyone for their kind help. I found one that will hopefully work for me. I was looking for one that I could plug into a lipo battery charger.

Nope. You will need a battery and charger. 2s lipo is a good place to start. You will need a special charger for the lipos. Add about a hundred bucks if you want mid grade nicer stuff

Using the Thunderpower micro charge with 4 adapters is messy and expensive. Look at the Traxxas 2 port USB charger for the Alias quadcopter. It's $10.xx on Amazon with free shipping and no adapters required.

Yes it should be just fine. If it does not just send it back. Iam sure if will work. I use a Traxxs single port charger.

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.

No you need the Tenergy TN270 Li-ion 18500/18650/14500 Fast Battery Charger to charge this battery properly.

Yes, you need to set the ESC to LiPo mode to avoid ruining the battery. Also, if you don't already have one, you need a LiPo compatible charger.

Are u getting the new release X-01? If so you will need lipos and a lipo specific charger. The new release is no different then the old except for some added graphics and no batteries. They did this to reduce cost. If you get the 1st gen you will need a lipo specific charger. I use a Hyperion charger with two battery capability.

Your current charger will work just fine. No special charger is required. This battery has greatly improved the battery life.
