Their charger seems cheap too...http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info...s_id/13159

$40 for a whole lipo setup...hrmm...

[Ponch]

no dont bother

Why? Just not a reputable brand or are the specs on it crappy?

take it from me having tried the lipo game, more of a pain in the ass than they are worth, gotta run a regulator if its going in your car, they do last longer but once they dump you are done. Just adds a whole nother variable of things that can go wrong. If you run 2600's you will get the same life anyway

[Ponch]

Mike this is going in a tc3...not radio/buggy....Or does the same apply? You said 2600's which leads me to think that you were talking about radio or receiver batts....

[Traxxas_Junkee]

He's not talking about a receiver pack.

i thought it was for offroad stuff. If you are going to be using it for an electric car then i think itll be fine, I hear Lipo's are the wave of the future in electric. But for offroad use dont bother

[Ponch]

Cool. I'll start saving then...

why did u get a tc3 why not a NTC3 or 4?

[Racin' Ranger1]

because he got rid of his pede for it

[Racin' Ranger1]

and matt i have a TC3 body for you. its a nitro one but you can have it

[Ponch]

Thanks, but it'll be way too wide(I think, I'll try it though)...(electric=190mm wide, nitro=200mm wide).

[Ponch]

whats so wrong wit lipos in the rec, on buggy? All I read is u flamming them...I have had no prbs with mine but i dont run a reg....I lovce it I can go over 2 weeks on a charge and it puts my servos on roids...

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

well then ur lucky, ive seen more people with problems that go back to nimh then i have seen have success with them. Look what happened to maifield leading the nats by a lap had a regulator fuck up on him. I dont need that extra element of some shit to go wrong. Do you race or just bash? i dont see how ur servos can last very long at at all not to mention ur receiver with that much juice being pounded through them on a regular basis

[blktransam]

race only....well started end of last yr anyways, run spektrum module (sr3000) reciever...and 9000t servos for the past 8 mths with not one issue, prb 6 other "local" guys run them as well with no issues.
