my plan

[MetalMan]

It might be pushing the amp rating. You might have better luck with cells that can handle more.

well i ready to buy some batts. now should i go with the 4000mah 3s pack from maxxamps or should i just get 8 4200ib's?

lipo good:
its lighter and might deliver more punch

the bad:
amp rating worries me
its more expensive with balancer included

ib's good:
the 4200s are cheaper
the way im going to run them i can charge them as to seperate 4 cell packs for faster charging since my charger has to out puts

ib's bad:
there heavier


what should i do?

[neweuser]

go LIPO!!!! Go with a diff amp rating?

[MetalMan]

If you don't mind the extra weight of the IB4200s, then get those. I think it would be best to stay on the safe side and not risk pushing the Maxamps 3s 4000mah pack to its limit.

[stampy]

i think your right metal. ima go with the ib4200's for now then when i build my new truck to replace my rs4mt ill go lipo

[stampy]

i guess i changed my mind :027:im going lipo- hyperion 3s 3700mah pack will fit perfect were the text is in the pic. o and I got my controller today :043: cant wait to get it up and going

How come you didn't think of that before?:005:
Should have more steering like that anyway with a little more weight up front.
Are those gladiator 2s? my favourite tyres,they work everywhere.

[stampy]

yep should be sweet:). yep there gladiators great tire they've lasted sooo long its crazy.

o and i did switch it back to 4wd since i took the pic notice the ribed front tires lol i dont think they will grab real good now that its back to 4wd :005:

[stampy]

got my pack and balancer yesterday :004: had to do some more modifying but it fits but barely

[MetalMan]

That thing should be a rocket!

[stampy]

any buddy have a hyperion lba6 balancer? right now ive got the pack hooked up to the balancer and the balancer on the charger, charging the pack but for some reason cell 1 and 3 are blinking red rapidly and every now and then cell 2 will blink green what does that mean? when i had the pack hooked up to the balancer off the charger it indicated that the cells were balanced but why are only cell 1 and 3 blinking red when charging :032:

[stampy]

well got it all balanced out charged it up but my charger errors at about 12.4 volts i dont know why maby because the balancer it cutting the voltage to the pack :032: but drove it for about 5 min maby need to glue my front tire on i know that would come zinging of at 1/4 power. oh and BELTS SUCK:mad:1 just shredded my rear belt on the first hit of about 3/4 throttle and flipped the truck over lmao this thing is crazy :004:

[MetalMan]

What charger are you using? I use a LBA6 clone, the Great Planes Equinox.

[stampy]

the mrc 977

[MetalMan]

That's odd. How do you have the balancer/battery/charger wired up?
