is this batt good enough for a basher revo. its what i can afford right now and i want to get my revo up and running finnally

Depends on the motor and gearing, but I would get the 8000mah instead. I run the 4s 8000 in my maxx

Are you going to be running a single battery pack or two in series? Anyway, the 5K cells are supposed to be the latest hot thing at maxamps and they packs/cells are usually very good bang for the buck. What setup are you running?

8xl/mamba maxx/stock tranny locked in 2nd. i would really like to run one pack. thanks for the quick response.

I haven't tried the newer "copper" tab cells. I do have a couple of the pre-copper tab packs and with an 8XL, we were able to heat the 8Ah packs up pretty good in an 8ight. Your revo should weigh about as much as the 1/8 scale buggy. I'd go with the 8Ah pack(s). They can handle more current draw.

I'm using a Maxamps 4s 5000mah pack in my Hyper 8 right now. So far I've only done street driving (with Road Rages that are quickly going bald), but it seems to be quite a powerful battery. Best of all, the hottest cell (one that was covered up) has not exceeded 100 deg. F.

Those the new copper tab cells?

[MetalMan]

They are supposed to be.

Guess I better try one!

this will mainly see parking lot assphalt, gravel driveway, occasional track session. i want to try the 4s 5000mah because i can afford the thing and i want the conveinence of one batt to worry about. thanks. i would hate to sell this thing just because i don't want to deal with the battery issues but maybe a bl stampede or something would be better for a beginner. oh well i am going to go with the 5mah and let yall know if it doesn't work out i may post this thing up for one of you to get your hands on.

got a couple runs on my new 4s maxamps 5000HV, seems to be a decent batt, geared 14/46 with 7XL gets it about 100* or so, perfect.

not trying to thread jack but do u have the choice of running 1 pack or 2 or is there diffrent setops i plan on gettin a mm w/ an 8xl but if i get the 7.4v lipo maxxamps 8000mAH should i get one or two????

i want good speed and long runtimes if possible

thanks and again sry im not trying to take over your thread

[bdebde]

you will need to use 2 7.4v batts in series for the 8XL or you can use one 14.8v pack.

[Revo_crazy231]

cool, thanks
