I read all the stuff or a lot of it and I kind of figured it out maybe, but I only looked at the stuff from about 2011 up. I figured with most electronics after a couple of years go by everything changes. All and all I'm still a little confused but I guess I'll muddle through it. You'd think Axial could put in their instructions min and max of battery sizes or a suggested size. |

What specifically are you confused about? A quick google search of 'lipo basics' turned up this resource: Understanding RC LiPo Batteries Which after a quick skim seems to have pretty much everything needed to know. Like anything mechanical/electrical, respect it and it won't hurt you. Last edited by Meatwad; 01-14-2013 at 09:45 AM. |

Sounds like ya better stick with some nimh stick pack bud Really though these guys gave the best links for quick info. Lipo's are great and safe when charged and used properly. Know your discharge/charge rates cause that's where problemswill arise. And cell counts if your worried bout your motor/esc life Read up and keep it safe |

Trubble, that is good information. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. My SCX10 is completely stock right out of the box. If I can find it, I think I'm gonna go with a 2s 3300 to 4000 mah 30-40c battery and for the charger I'm thinking Thunder AC680. My neighbor that is into stadium/short course trucks thought that I would fry a brushed motor with Lipo battery. If I stay with the 7.4 volt battery I think I'll be ok. |

That battery range will be fine for the SCX. You wont fry anything running the stock electronics on a 2S battery. Its actually built for using those batterys
