From what I know you can either run a 3 cell 1400mah or a 2 cell 2200mah and those are the only sizes they make for the 1/16 summit. You can run 2 at a time in parallel. I have heard 50 plus minutes of run time with two batteries.

If you still want to know, buy any brand lipo battery that is 1 cell,3.7 volts, 380 mah. or less. You might need to modify the connectors, but it will work better. If you want any additional power, get a 2 cell 7.4 volts, 180 mah.

Yes, I get about 10 minutes longer of run time with the LiPo. Plus the fun factor increases 10 fold.

Around 15 minutes. If you can afford an ERevo, you can probably afford a couple lipo batteries, so you should DEFINITELY get some. Twice as fast and 45 minutes of run time.

Honestly, I've usef LiPo's from day one. But based on my 7600 LiPo's that last more than an hour I expect the NiMh to last about 45 minutes. But of course it depends on how hard you use the throttle.

The battery compartment is much smaller then expected, fitting anything else than the stock battery is a challenge. But this particular version has full metal internals, so it can probably handle a 7.4 small type lipo.

Depends on various factors. Normally Lipo will last longer and let you recharge batterry more. For RC cars, Lipo is a must. I would not buy any other RC car that wont run on Lipo.

That is probably correct with the Lipos (30-35), but with the included batteries (NiMh) it doesn't really matter because they drop off so fast & it is always changing. To charge for 6 hours to get a couple of good passes before it just stops & needs to rejuvenate is a little ridiculous. I'm guessing maybe 25-30. You might be better off looking at a "You-Tube" video but everyone there seems to use Lipos including the RedCat advertisements. I didn't see the point of needing that kind of upgrade right out of the box, it just isn't fair.

Brushless. However, this car is over powered and can be difficult to keep from flipping with the lipo batteries so the brushed will be perfectly fine and a ton of fun

Well, if you expect to be getting more into hobby grade rc (as in buying more lipo batteries in the future), I'd go ahead and get "Thunder Power TP610C AC/DC Charger", otherwise, any lipo charger will do... like "Traxxas 2935 2-3 Cell LiPO Balance Charger".

Any 12 volt dc supply will work, from a 3s lipo to your cars current to a 12v dc adapter. I have used both my car, using a cigarette lighter cord and for my fpv an old 3s lipo that I don't trust in a drone anymore.

Hi, This car use battery pack 7.2V NiMh any mah (1800mah is coming in the box); more mah more runtime you get. If you use 7.4V Lipo you have to use a Lipo low voltage alarm to protege the battery pack. Regards

Yes, I regularly use lipo 4000 mAh 3 cells. they last for 20 min and you'll get a top speed of 30 mph. I have used 4 cells and got up to 40mph.

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.

Any battery with small tamiya connector 8.4 nimh is what it comes with but I run a 11.1 lipo for better rof and the stock gearbox can handle it
