which batteries in your Twin Hammers ?

[CyberFox]

Hi,

Could you tell in this topic which battery you use in your twin hammers:

Which brand ? how many cells ? how many C ? how many Amps ?
your runtime with it ? trial or speed bash ?

And with which motor and controller ?

Regards,
CyberFox.

One of these. Turnigy nano-tech Shorty 4200mah 2S2P 65~130C Hardcase Lipo Pack (ROAR APPROVED)

Stock motor but will soon be used with a 10.5t sensored brushless. I run the Ultimate4rc.com events.

I second this one! I run the Gen 2 redline 10.5t in it for bashing and crawling, 25 min runtime but only mounts in rear of vehicle. I use the stock battery for gcm front end undertray. The battery is like 1/2 of the vaterra battery which I also bought for $65
I get about 8 more minutes on the vaterra replacement battery (4200mah) and more power it feels like.

I use these batteries ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 3S1P 45C (USA Warehouse)
I use a MMP, Trinity Nemesis 13.5. My run time varies depending if I'm crawling or bashing. My guess on average runtime would be 35 to 45 minutes. I use my TH for both crawling and bashing but I don't use it for speed runs as it is a unstable platform...I use a Futaba 3PM-X radio.

If you already have some Mini E-Revo batteries, they fit well in there. Light and easy to swap.

I run mostly in 3S.

I use venom 2000mah 20c 2s . And here is a link to a similar thread www.rccrawler.com/forum/vaterra.../442182-what-batteries-fit.html I think it would be great if there was a battery guide for what fits in our beloved twin hammers. :^)

Turnigy, Zippy, Blue Lipo....in that order. Venom and Traxxas lipo = crap.

I am using the same as above. Fits right in the battery holder.

I use a turnigy nano tech 2200 mah 3 cell battery. I forget the C rating but we have a bunch of them between all of us. I also use a Momba max pro esc with a 3800 kv castle motor. The battery fits in the stock tray barely. It is a tight fit. I got the motor n esc together in a kit. Both the motor n esc have a fan. It is a tight fit but the fan will fit under the interior. You will have to turn the fan on the motor just right but it will fit under there.

I run two 2s 2500 mah spc lipos in parallel. I get about 40 minutes run time while thrashing it on dirt with a castle creations element esc and 3930kv motor.

For anyone interested, these are the packs;
SPC LiPo Power, Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Battery Pack; 2500mAh, 50C, 2S, 7.4V Soft-Case

My Twin Hammers right now is using 3S Zippy Compact 2200mAh at 25C I think. I run with an LRP sensored esc and a 10.5T Turnigy Trackstar Sensored brushless motor and I can get. I get at least 30minutes out of it with pretty rough bashing on our home track, which has a couple good hills on it. I am using the stock Vaterra Spur gear with a 23T pinion instead of the 28, and I believe I have the timing on my motor almost all the way down. But my 2200mAh battery lasted a good 5 or 10 minutes longer than a 5200 Turnigy in my Slash 2WD with VXL in it.

I run the Thunder Power G8 2250 11.1v 70c.. Get about 45 mins.

Great batteries, I'm in line for four more

What kind of run time do you get with the stock setup? I am curious because they are about half price to anything ells that fits.

 

[iacdmac]

A little more runtime the the dynamite version so 50 to 65 minutes depending on how fast you drive.
