Can you run 2s Lipos with a SCX10 TR?

[ScalerFab]

I'm thinking about picking up a SCX10 TR, and was wondering if You can run 2s Lipos with it? Or should I just get some Nimh batteries? and if so, what mah?

I ask because I already have (2) 2s 1300mah Lipos on the way with my Losi Night Crawler.

Thanks,

Troy

Im sure 2s would be fine, its only 0.2v more then a 6 cell nimh...

That's what I figured, but wasn't sure if I will have to monitor run times so I don't drain the Lipo completely? The LNC is equipped with a Lipo cut-off in the ESC i think?

I'm new to electric RC and don't want to learn the hard way $$$

yea you can, i ran a 8cell nimh in mine and a 2s lipo too

just make sure the ESC your running has a lipo cut off..stock axial doesn't

I would run just one single 2c. MAH = Mili amp hours. I run a 2cell 5000 mah and get about 1 1/2 hours of run time. You can run a 3 cell if your using an aftermarket like a FXR or Rooster Crawler ESC.

The benifits of a Lipo is more power, specially when you need it most.

Have fun!

What ESC does yours have in it? The AE-2 does have a lipo cutoff built in but you may have to enable it, check out your manual lots of good information in there!

Yes or no depending on the esc , if it is a AE-2 esc than yes if it is a AE-1 than no. The new scx10 TR have the AE-2 esc.
