|  choosing a lipo....
Hey, I have a TLT crawler with the J2-TT chassis that I am nearing completion on, and I wanted to ask for your opinion: I am getting ready to switch over to the Thunder Tiger lipo batteries, and I am torn between the 2S 1320mAh battery and the 2S 1900mAh battery, the only real difference being that of price and of dimensions (the 1900 is 1 7/8 inch wide, with the 1320 at 1.25 inches wide). I am planning on mounting the battery on the rear plate above the axle next to the upper suspension links. Is there any reason that I should prefer the 1320 over the 1900? Is a longer runtime not really the issue? I used to run a custom tube chassis with a 7.2V stick pack and a 75T, but with this new battery, I will probably put the 55T back in there..... maybe. Any reasons for one over the other? |

run time and increased amp draw the 1900 will be able to out put higher amps, depending on how much you stress you're truck it may be an issue, especially if there older packs, gen or 3's should be fine either way though

Yep, that is basically it. You should be fine with the 1300 if it is a 15C pack. The 1900 would give you more runtime. If the 1300s are a lot cheaper, just buy two of them. Make sure your ESC has a lipo cutoff.
