Barrage battery

[Darrell]

Would it be a problem if I install a speed pack 2400mah 8.4v 7-cell ni-mh battery into my ecx barrage? Or well it burnout the motor?

Hope this answers your question. And if by chance it the motor burns up (mine did with the stock battery and the high stock spur/pinion ratio) you can get better motors like taxxas 380 motor and team brood makes nice ones too (little more money but worth it).

Pick up a 12t-13t 48 pitch pinion for 1/16-1/18 scale it should help keep motor temps down.

A battery that big will double the weight of your truck. If the voltage doesn't burn up the motor, the weight probably will.

The weight will kill the spools before the voltage burns the motor ...

You will have way better performance and longer runtimes from a cheap 2000mah 2 cell lipo than a 2400mah 7 cell nimh....
