| Best Battery Choice
Currently running a 3s 5000mah in the stock location on the drivers side floorboard. I want to change to something more performance oriented and I don't mind packing two or three smaller batteries to get the runtime. What are you guys running and in which location? I don't run the interior or cage if that makes a difference. Thanks

I'm not running a 10.3 but all of my scaler/crawler rigs will only ever see 2200mAh batteries. (3S) I strongly dislike the weight penalty of anything bigger. |

I am currently running 2S 80C 5200 MAH Hoovo from amazon. if I recall they were $33 for two of them. I like the run time of a larger MAH battery. I choose not to run a larger cell battery, IMHO more power = more broken parts. I have been out three times and each time I go the fully upgraded $1500 rigs are constantly breaking! |

Hey Phyro, what position do you run your battery in? The driver floorboard or across the frame behind the trans? I agree, the long run times are great but it kills my performance. I'm willing to do battery swaps more frequently for the performance gains. |

I ended up with a Tekin RX4 in mine, so wasn’t able to put the ESC in the normal location. Got the RX4 in the side tray, and using the rear tray for batteries. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |
