|  Batteries/weight
Hello everyone..new to the site...I just bought a SCX10 Honcho RTR and not sure if I should use a high mah battery that weighs more or one with less mah that weighs less..Im aware more will give me more runtime but more concerned about if weight is an issue or not..Id like to try packs between 4000 and 5000Mah if its not too much?..Thank you for your advice.

If it is a honcho the battery is in the front which in turn helps the truck able to climb better. You could just go straight to lipo and get a high mah and weight is still not as much as say a 3000mah nimh battery.

Weight can be an issue depending on your setup. Seems the smaller packs are preferred for not only weight issues but also real estate.

My plans are to pretty much run the truck stock..I may upgrade the servo and upgrade to the higher clearance links but that's about it..Do you think a 5000mah 2s lipo is too much?..Thanks for the reply | |
