NIMH Batteries for Summit.
 

Hi i am pretty new to all this and need some advice for a good brand of battery to run. If anyone could help that would be great.

if you dont already have a charger etc, id look for a lipo set up, rhino lipos are cheap and they are a great battery for the price, and you can pick up a lipo charger for about 50 off e-bay..

just athought..

but as far as nimh packs, im not sure how much voltage the summit esc can handle, but get as much voltage and MAH as you can find / afford as far as brand, sorry cant help ya there, im not sure who the big players in NIMH cells are these days, its slowly becoming obsolete

i already have a charger for nimh on the way. was just wondering if there is a brand of batteries that seems to last longer than others or puts out more power. but thanks for the input i will definitly consider switching to lipo in the future.

This is what I used in my Summit before going Lipo,

And I still use them when I go under water.:twisted::twisted::twisted:

They have great power and good run time. I don't exactly how many cycle I have in them but I had them for over a year now and they are still working great."thumbsup"

I have been using the Traxxas Power Cells, Series 4, when I charge them I get up to 4500 mah into them.

They are real good packs so far! Not to badly priced and pack a good punch. "thumbsup"

I tried twice to get the link to work but it won't. Just a heads up
