What is a good battery and charger to get for this truck? What will my run time be? How long does battery take to charge? Thank you in advance!

NIMH 5000 MAH 7.2v saddle pack helps with balance if mounted on the sides of the motor. Run time approximately 1.5 Hour. Multiple battery smart charger. Take about 45 minutes on 4 Amp. I charge mine 2.5 Amp. Take 2 hours.

A good battery charger is the Thunder Tiger AC6 Balance Charger/Discharger and a good battery is the Venom Lipo 7.4v 2 cell 5000mah. It runs for about 2 hours and takes 1 hour to charge.

tenergy 3800aAh 7.2v, and I've been happy with it. 30 minutes run time, and takes about 1 hr to charge. I purchased 2 batteries so one can charge and I can use the other.

I suggest going with LiPo type batteries 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 with this kit it takes about 45min to 1 hr to charge and you will easily get 2-3 hrs of run time.

How many watts of electricity do you require to run whatever it is you want to plug in? My grand kids used mine while on a camping trip recently and plugged in a boom box then their lap tops to play games. The vehicle's battery went dead in just over 6 hours. Lucky for them gramps packed a self contained emergency battery jumper to get the vehicle started up and back home. If they would've started the vehicle every hour for about 10 minutes, I think they would've been okay.

The battery provided with the Stampede lasts 30 minutes or so if the truck is driven on a paved surface. If used " off road", the battery life is noticeably less. If a higher capacity battery is desired, the Racer's Edge NiMH 5000 mAh , 8.4 volt hump pack with TRX plug gives a very long runtime. Keep in mind that the longer the truck runs on a charge, the hotter the various electrical components can get without a cool down period. All other thing being the equal, speed comes from battery voltage, runtime comes from the mAh rating of the battery. MAh is milliamp/hour, power over time. So the higher the mAh rating, the longer the battery will last at a given discharge rate.

I would like to know if you can buy a replacment battery that has 4 hrs. run time.The computer sounds great except for the 2 hr. 25 min. battery time.Why such a good comp. with such a whimppy battery?

Yep it's ready to run. You need fuel and igniter. Very fun I love mine. Sorry I forgot you need batteries 4 AA for truck and 8 AA for controller. I would suggest thread lock and remove screws on bottom and put thread lock on them because they will come loose after a while. Have fun.

It's a red banana plug. But you can't get any other batteries in any hobby shop if you go in and ask him to switch the connectors they will and you have a lot more battery options. And a very minimal price and that chargers Junk had to upgrade. stock charger takes eight hours for a 15 minute run. All in all it's a good truck I gotta for my nine-year-old you likes it. Yes but it's not a very common plug like I said have it switched when you get it it only cost like 10 dollars..

Been there done that, the electric start didn't wirk. So I kick started it , I went 0-35 out of my garage into rear end of truck...there is no idle or shift so don't do what I did, u could end up dead. The company I bought from finally agreed to reimburse me, but not shipping.Amazon will get $ back to my account and giving me provincial credit for my shipping costs..this is an ongoing problem with this scooter and the Co. That sell it know it. Sorry I'm not buying another one

I'm thinking of checking my local hobby shop for a LiPo battery and charger upgrade. I have been looking at various 7.4V LiPo batteries and chargers on amazon but I want to compare prices with my local store before I purchase. I haven't gotten the car yet but word is the charger and battery could use an upgrade and that the car is LiPo battery ready so I'm thinking it might be the solution, although they are about half as expensive as the car itself.

Thanks for the inquiry. Battery life really depends on how you are using truck. Under full power race conditions I would say about 15-20 minutes. If you are not using full power all the time up to 30 minutes. You can also buy longer lasting batteries.Best regardsrichard

2200mah is fine. That is just the capacity of the battery which will allow you to run for longer periods of time between charges. Just make sure that the physical size of the battery will fit in the battery tray. The factory battery is 25C continuous with bursts of 40C. if you have bursts of 25C, you will see a degrade in performance. A voltage increase will give you more speed i.e.. a 3S battery with 11.1 volts but is not recommended if you want to maintain control of this little truck.

This is a great battery for your truck. Bought it for my son and it makes a huge difference. Truck is faster and runs x3 as long. For the price it is worth getting 2 batteries. Great for days when you take your Traxxas to the race track. If you are going to take the time to drive somewhere you have hot to make the best of your time. Don't even own the original battery. Life span so short it is not even worth charging

It depends on what battery you are using and what level of the three you are running. At the training level, figure about a half hour to 45 minutes. That's what my 11 year old son averaged with the battery that came with the truck.

Good luck! Chances are if these need replacing, the engine is not far behind. I replaced mine at 85,000 miles. The engine didn't make it to 115,000. Had to get rid of the truck! Such a sad design.

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.

If you want the truck to be at its best you will need some lipo batteries and u also need a charger doesn't have one in the box

Here is your answer: until the battery is dead..... You really can't expect someone to answer this question without more info, what trolling motor, what load, etc etc, look at the YellowTops instead it's a better battery for your application

I've got 3 12V (that charged show 13-14V) batteries in my truck. I guess it will work. Is as good as the one the dealer sells for almost $600.00 it does the same.
