question about batterys

[badd_maxx25]

ok here is the issue i bought 2 2200 2s from hobby king to use in my mini 8ight buggy but there a little to long to fit i would like to know if enyone runs them in there scx10. heres a link to them. ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 2S1P 20C

Should work just fine. I've got a 5000mah crammed in mine.

The C rating is pretty low, but like alpine4x4 said it will work.

It depends on what motor and esc you are running.

Why?

Almost every ESC should handle a 2s lipo with ease. They may not have a lipo cutoff, but they will run em. Dont know of a motor that wont work with a 2cell. Like said above the C rating is a tad low, but I run 2200mah 25c's and they work just fine

i was just worried about their over all size

[tech712]

I run maxamps 2250's in my scaler with a tekin rs /17.5 redline no problem. However if I run the same battery in my rx8 gen 2 and 3100kv roc412 powered wraith it will puff them ( been there done that ). It isnt the esc or the voltage it has to do with rhe current rating of the battery. The motor and load put on it directly impact the current being drawn off the battery. Hence why I stated it is all dependent on the motor and esc combo used.

[tech712]

Amp hours x current rating give you the max constant and max burst amperage the pack can provide.

2200 mah or 2.2ah x 20 = 44 amps constant safe amperage draw
2200 mah x 40 = 88amp burst safe current draw

For a mild rather than wild power system the batteries would be fine. Most motors are verry capable of drawing far over the batteries max output.

im running a sidewinder 3 esc and a 27t sealed can motor

[tech712]

That doesen't tell me much. The sidewinder is a very capable esc. No idea of the current draw of a 27t sealed can. I wouldn't be too worried. Check your batter after running hard for a few minutes. If it gets warm you'll know it isn't upto the task.

Should be fine. They might "puff" if you're hard and the throttle a lot and pulling lots of juice from them. I'm running similar 2200mah 3S 30C on my Wraith 35t, but rarely use full power.

That size shouldn't be an issue, at least not with stock battery tray. Most 1/10's fits the regular hardcase size, that's a lot bigger than those Zippys.
