I am looking for a batterie that offers max crawl time

ultimate_monkey · 11-14-2009, 03:05 PM

higher MAH = more run time, so whats your set up?? 3s lipo w/ 5000 mah u can crawl for days... 3s lipo w/1500mah can go for about 40-45 min

will bell · 11-14-2009, 03:06 PM

I'm trying to stay away from lipo

Jan-e · 11-14-2009, 04:00 PM

is this the same if its a NiCd or NiMH? 1500mah = about 45min?

ultimate_monkey · 11-14-2009, 04:08 PM

depends on your set up, but i seem to get longer run times with my 1500mah lipo and 35t then i did when i ran a 55t and 2000mah stick pack...

team3six · 11-14-2009, 04:26 PM

There even better when you spell baterie, battery!

big78ford · 11-14-2009, 04:44 PM

It depends on your setup, on my ax10, I run a 1500 split pack 8 cell (2/3A). I get good run times and keep my center of gravity low. On my wifes scx10, she runs a 3300 7 cell (SC). Her run times are more than double of mine. Check out www.cheapbatterypacks.com for some info.

45t lathe and split pack 8 cell 1500mha one a ax10

Can you run an 8 cell on a axial ax10 rtr.

big78ford · 11-14-2009, 05:54 PM

the stock esc is good for up to 10 cells. I'm running 8 cells on a rooster crawler without any issues.

will bell · 11-14-2009, 06:32 PM

does voltage matter

big78ford · 11-14-2009, 10:40 PM

The batts are 1.2 volts per cell. 8 cell=9.6 vollts, 7 cell=8.4 volts etc.

squatch71 · 11-14-2009, 10:52 PM

I'm with big78...well just down the road...I run a 7 Cell 3300 mah and we get what....3 hours running around time???

I'm going to try my lipos tomorrow and see what I get.

big78ford · 11-14-2009, 11:03 PM

Where are your batteries mounted? The stock batt plate puts them to high and makes your rig top heavy. I have my batts on the front axle with homemade mounting plates. If you want more info let me know.

oldhippie · 11-15-2009, 07:36 AM

Man if you're gonna buy a batt don't waste your money on a nimh. Gp Lipo!

will bell · 11-15-2009, 08:23 AM

can an ax10 handle 9.6 volts. What do you have to do to switch over to lipo. Im running my batteries an the front axle.

bikeman · 11-15-2009, 09:01 AM

What u need is a good lipo/ballencer combo charger. I run a triton eq for all my batt. . I run 1350 size 2s lipo on my crawler
and i get about an hr with a goat system with the 18.5 motor. Lipos are the way to go. I fought buying but when i did couldnt believe the diference.

The stock esc doesn't have a low voltage cutoff so you'll need to wire in that. Other than that, just batts and charger to go lipo

don't lipos EXPLODE

team3six · 11-15-2009, 04:25 PM

lol, Yeah they explode but so does NiMH if you dont take care of them correctly. Its a common thing that scares off people from using Lipo's. Follow the rules to handle and take crae of them and if you purchase good batteries by a reputable company, then youll have nothing to worry about.
