Just picked up the ofna truggy starter box
#1
Anybody have a suggestion for a good battery setup for it. I dont want to li-poly yet so thats out. WHat do you guys think? I run 2 3600's right now in my other box and they work okay but don't last real long.

I've heard that stick packs will put out more power but gel cels last longer.

well...I was thinking that too Dave. I wonder if there is a converter you can have a little thing put out 12-14v DC from 110V AC. Im sure it would be simple to wire somthing up for the box,

it'd be worth it to have a custom "plug in box" Wonder if I can find an AC motor that I can mount in there...Vacuum cleaner maybe? Get a rubber wheel on it, plug it in, presto. f@#@$# owned

Two words..... Car Battery


Hey,if bobbo can do it...so can you!!

I had 2 3300 6-cell packs in my Ofna Stainless box before they went to the mugen box. But those things lasted for ever. Twin sticks @ 3000 or more will do just fine and save weight too.

It would cost me 30+ for a gel cell and charger. I already have a charger for stick pack and such so if I could find a couple 7.2v for the price I would go that way.

I have the same box and i use 2 3000 vevoms. They last all day and i just recharge after every day of running. They easily turn the brand new v-specs.

Found 2 3800's shipped for 42 on battery junction. Should be okay since it's just for a box. Don't hi dollar packs i would think.
