what brand of batteries should i get

Hey guys just asking around to find out what brand of batteries I should go with looking at maxamps. But they are $$$$$ I do want good batteries for bashing!!! ?????

I'm just using Turnigy 5200mah 2s 30c packs and haven't had any issues of puffing or loss of proformance and for 23.99 from the US warehouse can't really go wrong. Only downfall is you need to be a good solderer to attach the 10awg wire onto deans.

Stick with the The Hobbyking.com stuff like Zippy or Turnigy, or maybe Venom. Maxamps is ridiculously overpriced. I wouldn't bother with expensive, super high end batteries unless you're racing and need that super competitive edge. Just make sure the Batteries have adequate discharge capability.

I would also recommend turnigy or zippy, ive been using both and have been very impressed.

Im running maxamps 6000mah 3s packs. Waaaaaay overkill on the power!

If i were you I would get a pair of the highest MAH 2s Maxamps packs available. You will have at least 45 minutes runtime, and still have way more power than you need.

If i could do it again I would go 2s. 3s packs are just too hard on the truck IMO.

Maxamps will also put the right connectors on for you when they assemble the pack, + you get a solid warranty and free pack re-wraps if your packs get busted up.

Also they recently lowered their price on everything..

No im not a maxamps rep, lol

.

The Turnigy packs are sweet! I got 4 2s 5200mah for $80 and those 4 will give me almost an hour and a half of bashing time! They take 5600mah total charge each and for the price I couldn't be happier.

I'll be ordering more of these ASAP!

Buying a more expensive product does not always mean better product, I'm not saying Hobbyking batts are better or even equal too, IDK Because Ive never ran them. But I have ran HK batts, and been very happy with them, even If Maxamps is a better battery, The difference between them in performance isnt worth the difference in price.

show me anyone one who is getting more than 25 - 30 mins runtimes out of a flux or similar truck !!!
and either they are crawling or stopping a lot or we need to see their battery choice (with vid to back it up)

yep im running turnigy 5000 mah 2s packs have many sets and the lowest rated pair puts the truck on its lid easy as pulling the trigger and last 20 min + hard bashing or track circuits

is maxamps a division of unbelievablerc??

been using turnigy 5000mah 4s packs for a while, couldnt be happier Very Happy

Runtime depends a lot on how you are driving. I've had near an hr on larger capacity packs just messing around without a lot of constant high speed (2x 2S Hyperion G3 6500mAh and 1x Turnigy 6S 5000mAh)

Atm I'm running a single Turnigy 40C 6S 4000mAh and for near a quarter the cost of a Hyperion I doubt I could tell the diff performance wise between the two.

I'm having a hard time finding the right size battery if you guys could give me part number on some of these batteries. I wanna run 2 2cells so it will have more control

my first choice would have been the nanotech 5000mah 46-90C discharge but since they are not available, the Turnigy nano-tech 6000mah 2S 25~50C would be my second choice. if you think they are a bit pricey for you, you can go with the 5000mah capacity

you can also go with the non-nanotech turnigy which is a bit cheaper than my previous recommendation Turnigy 5000mAh 2S 40C Lipo Pack

not sure if this had been mentioned, But great stuff here

if your talking about the hobbycity batteries i suggested, i think they will fit, there are many sc folks who have used them on their savage flux Very Happy
