Best battery for Axial SCX10 C/R?

[Ghost Koi]

Hey guys, just ordered my first Axial Jeep
I'm new to the RC Community and I was wondering what the best battery/charger combination would be for the SCX10 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited C/R Edition. I am planning on keeping it stock for now and I would like to maximize the run time of it.

Also will this battery/charger configuration work well with the Axial and what would my average runtime look like?

Venom Sport Power 40C 2S 5000mAh 7.4 LiPO Battery ROAR Approved with UNI Plug

Thanks for the help and I really appreciate it

Not sure if you have looked into running 3s, it can be easily achieved by wiring in a CC BEC to the stock ESC. It may be that you will have to change gearing up a bit when volting up, (so just gear down a bit).. I am running 60C 3S 3300mah 11.1v Gforce & Turnigy batteries.. Here is a site with some decent deals on batteries and chargers, welcome to the hobby.

thanks for the response, I may look into 3s down the road but since I'm still new to the hobby I will probably keep everything stock for now... also, will my current battery/charger combination work well? Should I consider anything specifically when researching chargers?

I spent the first couple years running 2s when I first got into crawling and now I run Gens Ace 3300 3s. I don't plan on ever running 2s again. I'd defiantly look into 3s

do you think my battery/charger configuration will work for a beginner level Axial Jeep? Thanks for the help,

[Sverref]

Yes, it will work, i my self have just ordered a C/R edt scx10, dont know how long the runtime will be, but awhile is my assumption

and yes i have ordered 2s 5200Mah but down the road ill surely try out a 3s but dont see the need on the stock 27T motor :p

You should be able to get up too 2 and a half hours as I get about 3 hours with 5800 mah batteries

I have a Duratrax Onyx 2s 5000mah and it lasts for about 2.5 hours like you said. I even have a winch, high torque (about 300 in/oz.) servo, and 20 leds on my dingo. I was using the Axial 27 turn motor, so the stock C/R motor.

Side note:3s is stupid fun, but I unfortunately ruined mine when I forgot to switch from 2s to 3s LVC.

Should be able to get more than that. I get 2-1/2 hrs out of 2200mah 3s packs. (brushless 18.5t, winch, bec)

I was thinking the same thing, I run my 3s 3300mah 30/60C's rather hard and get roughly over 2 hours. Stock ESC / Traxxas 21T / BEC / that's includes a light kit, motor fan, and winch..

* In my opinion the scx10's seem to handle best with a 2000-4000mah sized battery. Just enough weight for the front end, but not overkill to make it cartwheel or roll. *

I run a 5000mah 2s on a stock scx10 deadbolt and adding the run times together probably get easily 3hours of poodling around at walking pace.
