Fellas,

Any one using traxxas e-revo here, need to know which are high mah good nimh batteries...
is it beneficial to order from AU or US, I got someone coming from both places in next couple of weeks.

Need high mah nimh batteries, would request to suggest other parts for suitable upgrade.

Cheers..

Why the slow charging, bulky NiMh and why not the quick charging, lighter LiPo?

Umm frankly don't have answer what I got to know is lipo too gives the same performance as compared to nimh 1800/2200

Also if I buy lipo will have to buy charger as well.

I believe, LiPo packs perform better than NiMh by far. The main advantage is weight and charge time-- almost half the weight and charge time is way quicker for Lipo in contrast with an equivalent Nimh.

Anyway, it's upto you.

Lipos would be suggested.

You will need a dedicated charger though and they require a little more care than NiMHs. In terms of performance, it will be a massive leap.

Hi,

My friend has got this battery with some misunderstanding, this is nimh 7.2 3000 mah but big in size, can this be use in 1/16 erevo vxl, it's bit heavy too so if I place it on back or make some arrangement then can it be used ?
