I don't think you can use a 3 cell LiPo in a Sparrowhawk XXT..
Go for a 2cell LiPo.. Look at any LHS, or order a hardcase LiPo from Hobbyking..

I would suggest a 2s 5000MaH 40c LiPo.

He has been using 3s on his sparrow from the begining, so no sense for him to shift down to 2s...

Using an external BEC?

Its a 45A system, but has upto 4s LIPO COMPATIBILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thats Insane...

BTW suraj, I'll surely help you, but pls cal me after tomorrow. I am a lil busy, we can discuss more on the phone, i hope u still have my no. Cheesy

And yeah, 3s is very fine for this system, this ESC can even support a 4s Lipo, though the motor will get hotter and the car cant hold that much power. Dont worry Smiley

i somehow feel 2S in most cases or 4S for Dual battery setups like the Maxx and Savage to be the best combo.

3S and higher is good only for speed runs. and if u wanna get some high air while bashing  Grin

Then I'd suggest a 2s LiPo.. Little more punch, for a MUCH longer time.
Word of advice, Stay AWAY from Tamiya connectors when using high power LiPos.. Had 2 of them melt Shocked

3s is insanity.. If you're used to 7.2v then 11.1v (3s) is monsterous! Shocked

EDIT| Sorry for say Traxxas, I blanked out instead of saying Tamiya Giggle

Just had a runwith the nimh battery on my terrace...whenever i give more than 50% throttle the car stops and the motor restarts...is it due to the high current that flows(i dont have any connectors,ive directly joined the wires of the battery to the esc after cutting them)

Doubt its high current. If you battery is not charged this can happen. As you use power the V drops and ESC hits cutoff. Then V increases but drops again when current is drawn.

Check if your Low Voltage Cutoff is on..
Was running my Slash on NiMH today, and i forgot that the LVC was on..

The car moved for 1 metre and stopped.. I got scared as hell! I thought for 2 mins, and then the problem occured to me! LVC was on!
