Axial yeti jr can am and lipo ??

[riz]

I think the stock CanAm cannot be used with a lipo battery BUT can it be modified to use a lipo? Is it as simple as swapping the ESC that is able to handle a lipo? If so, ....what ESC, lipo and any other stuff is needed to run a lipo on the Yeti Jr Can Am ???

The only thing the stock ESC is missing is the low voltage cutoff that would protect the LiPO from being excessively drained.

I run an external low voltage alarm (LVA) and 2S LiPOs.

I use a Venom LVA zip tied to the battery door. As far as batteries, I use Lectron Pro 2S, 20000mah batteries. I've run 20-30 batteries through mine with no problems.

If you run it with the TX set to 100% throttle, the stock electronics should be allowed to cool between batteries. 75%, you can run it all day.

As above, I've fitted a low voltage alarm (cheap as chips off eBay) and a 2s lipo. Does the trick perfectly!

So that's all you need to run a lipo in a CanAm ?? Any details on this low voltage part? I've never heard of them?

Plenty of these variants out there. You can set what voltage when it triggers the (loud!) alarm.

They do, but they are of a significant higher quality. I got a gen1 yeti JR, and a Can Am Jr, and the yeti esc gave up the holy smoke after only 2 packs. Housing came cracked too. Cheap, nasty. Luckily Igot it for €99.- RTR. So, one cheapie esc and RX later, It was àctually ‘hobby grade’ and despite its tippyness, bever let me down again.

Canam was at least a solid housing with actual cooling. No fan of integrated esc/RX, but the gen II isn’t half bad tbh.
