I would recommend a local shop aswell, even if it's a bit away. The TRX-4 is an awesome choice, been in this hobby for over 20years and this rig is one of the most fun vehicles I have owned and driven. |

Thx for the feedback guys. Also, i will be purchasing my trx4 from my LHS because the price is better then online but their battery option is limited. |

Your LHS should be able to supply you with a hardcase 2S lipo, I drive mine with a 2S 5200mah hardcase and it works great. Get around 1hr drive on that battery and enough power and speed. Last edited by Skrotiz; 02-27-2018 at 02:25 AM. |

You can also look for batteries from pmhobbycraft.com they also have a store in Calgary and a large staffed RC department that can answer any questions you have as well as get you a battery/charger they may not have listed. I went with the dual EZ peak charger with 2 x 3s 5000Mah batteries. I didn't know anything about Lipo's and I'm glad I went with what I did even thoigh it cost alittle extra....plus it's got a storage function which takes all the guess work out of the batteries.....where you from in Canada? Only reason I ask is I'm always trying to get locals together.
