Lipo for Wraith

[jwalker497]

What is a good lipo for a stock wraith? Ive had a good experience with this company in the past so i would like to order from them.

SPC LiPo Battery Power, Lithium Polymer Battery Packs

I have good luck with turnigy I try and always buy 30c or greater discharge rated battereries.

How much runtime do you get out of that one?

[evan03]

Little over an hour on a 2200 2s with a brusless motor on a 6.5lb rig. Bought the same run time on a 3s 2200.

The 2s 2200 turnigy 5000 mah are 15-20 bucks.

I even run a 1300 mah 2s. Haven't timed it but it seems to run for quite awhile. .


Looked like those spec batts might be on the spend side.

When I'm in a go fast mood run times are half

2s 5000mah racers edge. 1.5hrs runtime on a HH torquemaster 27t.

that seems really low for brushed motor running 5000mah

Turnigy 40c 2200 3s. Order a set of deans plugs, and a castle bec. The 3s will wake that wraith up

[evan03]

Yeah doesn't matter what plugs come on batteries soldering is just something we do in this hobby I decided on deans and set my planes hel is and cars up that way.

I also thought 1.5hrz was low for a 5000mah battery.

On a 6s 2200 I get 15-20 mi utes is all running paddles at 3/4 to full throttle

You are likely to melt the stock connector if you use it with a healthy battery. Switch to deans.

[jwalker497]

Im not interested in that, i just want a good lipo for a stock Wraith

[redsawacs]

I just ordered these and they do me just fine. I was concerned about the 20c rating, but with my brushed setup, I have no issues so far. Being Hard case, made the choice easy for me

You don't understand. The connected will melt and cause the lipo to short out. Your wraith will go up in flames.

[evan03]

Well technically the battery won't melt anything a powerhouse motor and ESC may get stuff running warm and a low dish charge battery will bottle kneck the system.

The battery mah capacity us the fuel tank discharge rate ng is the fuel line. 20c rating is a small full line 40C a big line.

20c discharge may be plenty for alit of power systems.

He said he didn't want to change out the stock connector. Thats why i said it would melt.

[Bansh88]

Isn't the stock connector a Tamiya plug? Gotta switch that out.
I dont think the stock ESC can run 3s.

I run a Hobby People 4000 and a Gens Ace 2200. I currently run Traxxas plugs. Gonna switch back to Deans at Some point when I'm bored enough to do all the soldering. Also have the XR10 and 3 batteries for that.

Since I went to a Homes Hobby 45t, the batteries are running about 3x as long. I creep. Very slow for strictly crawling.

[evan03]

Well whether or not matters none . Maybe he needs to. Maybe? He may be fine with the tamiya connecter. Maybe

[AG74683]

Tamiya connectors are junk. Changing to Deans is easy. I knew nothing about soldering, bought a cheap iron at Radio Shack and had it done in 10 seconds. Soldering is a very important skill to learn in this hobby, and when you deal with battery connectors especially with lipo's, you need to change them.

[evan03]

Agreed. Though I run a Weller pistol iron.

Also a jig up soldering block is a priceless tool

I run a spc 5400 50c 3s with a traxxas plug. 3s will probably shorten the stock motor life but I have 3 of these already for my slash. Down the road I plan on going brushless anyways.
