battery upgrade question

[TIMZKRAWLER]

i'm running a 3600 mah 7.2v 6 cell stick pack on my super clod w/55t's,mamba max,dual servos....would going to a 8.4, 7 cell 4200 mah be a better upgrade??...i know the higher mah will give longer run time what does the higher voltage affect ? (7.2 vs 8.4) thanks for the help as this is all new to me ...thanks again

Higher voltage will make the motors turn faster, giving you more wheelspeed for when you need to bounce over stuff or save a rollover. Yes, it should be a good upgrade.

You might also try a 3s 11.4v lipo with a high mah. The lipo will give you all the torque and wheelspeed you would ever need and be a little lighter on weight. Just a thought. You can't go wrong with Grizz's suggestion either.
