i am building another 2.2 crawler and was wanting another batt option. on my other tlt i run the 1100 2/3A and it seems like sometimes they just dont have the umph. that does fit on the fronat axle nice tho.
i am not a fan of the big ole stick pack sticking out the front either. plenty of juice, but looks goofy.
what setup are most people running?

gasshead · 12-14-2006, 04:22 AM

you could get some venom 2/3a cells, they are 1200s and make a 7, 8 , hell 10 cell pack to get the umph where you want it

just remember, + to - = more volts, + to + = more mah

7-cell IB1400 2/3A custom pack that rides on top of the servo. I didn't like My TLT on 6-cells so I added another, givs a little better wheel speed. I get 1/2 hour or longer of run tme.

when I use to run a brushed setup a I ran a SMC IB 7-cell 2/3A 1200maH pre-madepack with 45T Lathe and a Tekin Rebel II. Worked great plenty of power and ran for about 30-45 minutes per pack.

There really is no need to run huge Sub C size cells with the low current lathe motors we run.

Cloak · 12-14-2006, 06:58 AM

I usually run the big SubC packs, but lately I've made some packs from those energizer rechargables and they seem to work fairly well. I have 2 8 cell packs made so far and enough for another set when I need to make it.

thefordmccord · 12-14-2006, 07:23 AM

I just run a Reedy Black Label 3300mAh 6 cell stick pack. I have had them for over a year and they still work great. With the SW2 chassis, the pack sits over top of the servo and the links. You can't see it at all with the body on it and it gives you plenty of weight up front for climbing.

mrwonderful · 12-14-2006, 07:40 AM

I've got a pair of the new 1500 2/3a's from CBP.com. I like em. Super small and incredibly light.

rockwerks · 12-14-2006, 07:46 AM

I ruun 2/3a 7 cell, I have packs made from 1100, 1200, and 1400's really no difference in performace or run time.....about 25 to 30 minutes

FrankyRizzo · 12-14-2006, 07:48 AM

8 2/3 IB 1400 AA's on the front axle. They work awesome.

slobin3d · 12-14-2006, 08:21 AM

I run a trinity 3000mah matched stick pack in my sw2 and a 8-cell IB 4200 matched pack in my other truck. massive run times

Do you have a pic of how you have these mounted? Do you charge them with a normal charger?

S-Dog · 12-14-2006, 08:44 AM

I run 6 cell 1500Mah from CPB.com and get over 1hr of run time...

raul duke · 12-14-2006, 08:46 AM

I have been usin a 6c mimi pack for the last couple months with good results. There small and easy to find a place to put em.

EeePee · 12-14-2006, 10:15 AM

X2! Those look very interesting, how do U charge them? What kinda run times U getting?

srfrkyle1234 · 12-14-2006, 12:30 PM

if you want to stick with the 2/3 A size I believe they go all the way up to 2400mah. but dont quote me, i may be wrong.

I believe 1500 or 1600 is max at this time

no I do not have any pics of my crawler but I also run them in a Nanodragon. they are just about the same size as a C cell battery but they are lithium Ion and require a special charger. running 2 in series I have 7.4v and 2000mah Run times in my nanodragon (kyosho inferno clone) are pretty much the better part of a day with breaks every 30min or the motor will melt the body.

I have a hobbico charger from tower when it was on sale for $39

you can get a el cheapo helicopter charger
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHNW5&P=7

which will work but its an overnight deal
