Can you put 2s lipo batteries in this vehicle

i don't think the stock speed control can handle the lipo pack. Stock NiMh packs quite a punch in this truck and is plenty fast.

follow up....here is the link to the batteries i orderedhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008XQDC6Wvenom 30C 2S lipo 1500mahremember, you need to switch the leads in the battery plug. A small piece of tubing in the plug will allow the pin to release from the plug and then u can switch them. Be extra careful to NOT let the leads touch.

In my opinion, no. The body frame is not large enough to hold two batteries. You may be able to customize, but a different body type will be necessary.

Yes, I ordered some 2 Cell lipos for mine. Venom makes a lipo that is the exact size and even comes with the mini tamiya plug. The only thing is, the batteries are intended for air soft guns and the polarity is opposite so I had to switch the the wires at the batt plug. You may be able to find another battery that fits the battery tray but either way, 2 cell lipos work great. One other thing, the original motor already burned up. The replacement motor is about $30 but Team Associated makes the exact same motor and slightly faster for about $8. mounting holes are the same, the shaft size and the motor leads are all the same.

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.

SPC Racing 7200 mAh, 2S hardcase is a great battery and not too expensive. Find a balacing lipo charger capable of sourcing 5-7 amps and you'll be set. Traxxas Lipo chargers are fine.

I would recommend at least a 2S lipo battery, you won't be sorry. Tested with a NiMh, but I got a lot more power and runtime with a 2S lipo. I didn't bother to reprogram the ESC just to have the NiMh as a spare, so it's been in storage ever since.

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.

Oh yea it will! Your rustler will just plain get it with this set up! I would just run a 2s lipo though, until you want to make people cry :) I would also recommend the castle link so you can program it with your computer. You will need to set it to the nihm setting and then change it back to lipo so you will be able to run it until you get your lipos.

The sidewinder esc comes with no connector on it so you can solder whatever end is required for your battery. I highly recommend using a 2s lipo battery. You will be disappointed using the battery that you mentioned. I use deans connectors on all my rc's. Batteries and esc's. Hope this helps.

No, You need a small LiPo like the one sold here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007AV4DQE/

it sure can! but it only can handle 3s lipo power. An i believe the ESC bullet slots are 4mm

I would imagine you could use any 2S LIPO battery with a decent C rating. 20C-25C discharge. I've read the dimensions in mm for the compartment are 74x36x15. The question is what type of connector is used?http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/lithium_polymer_battery_configuration.asp

Yes, it can only hold one battery to drive. There is so much room on the chassis I am sure you could fit another one on there if you build a different battery holder.

Yes, the ESC and motor can run 3s batteries, it's almost a must that you run fans on both if you want them to last.

I'd say it is a good upgrade. You'll appreciate it more when you use a lithium polymer battery (LiPo). Just make sure that your controller will be compatible with the upgrade set. LiPo battery is not that essential yet. You may also want to check on the battery and motor connectors for compatibility purposes for the whole vehicle.

You need a battery, preferably a LiPo battery, and a charger for the battery. Also, you will need 4 AA batteries for the remote, though if I remember correctly my RTR came with 4 AA batteries. No assembly, other than installing the main battery, which can be tricky the first time because of the close quarters in the frame, but a 2s lipo goes in pretty easy. I use the "Batens EXO RTR battery and charger kit". It charges quickly and is a great starting point for this Ready To Run vehicle. After you get some experience you will want to upgrade to 3s LiPo for more speed.

Yes it can. Automatically switches to low volt protection when you do run Lipo. I highly recommend a 2s lipo tho you will love the difference

Yes if you wire the batteries in series so that total output is 12v. Probably looking at a couple hours if your lucky. I'd put a motorcycle battery in if I were you. Would be about the same size as 2 6v batteries.

Yes, it can, but it's not recommended...and neither is the USB charger used by itself. USB charges are notoriously bad in quality. If you want your LiPo batteries to last a long time and plan on getting more, you should procure a smart charger made especially for Li-Po's. Unfortunately they are a bit pricey.
