What battery for comps

[intheworks]

What size battery is ideal for class 2 comps?

Compact size, I like 3s at least. This is a great battery, ProTek RC 3S 100C Silicon Graphene HV Shorty LiPo Battery (11.4V/3600mAh) w/T-Style Connector, I swapped too xt-60 plugs. This is biggest size and weight battery imo.

just to make an update on this. I went with TATU 45c 850mah batteries. I run 45t tekin motor, ae5, jx servo and a warn winch. I get about 30+ minutes on runtime which is more than enough for the comps. I have 3 850mah with the new style Velcro and can quickly swap out the packs when one dies.

I run the same size for my C2. I usually swap between courses and finish them off afterwards. I can get ~20 minutes but I set my LVC a bit on the conservative side.

Agreed 850-1300mah 3s is ideal for c1-c3 comps

More wheelspeed when you need it for loose and/or steep climbs, also higher voltage is more efficient. Volt up gear down.
