you can put a red circlular adhesif around the posi side on the those bats and it'll double the visual security ;) if you are tying down a cable use something to stop it rubbing on the carbon or it will cut right through ;)

Funny I found this video today, Troy. Coincidentally, I was having a bit of trouble with my converted TT-02 and the thing is… LiPo will give me the power I want but on NiMH, it has the weight I need. As far as the Yokomo YD-2 goes, you can run Tamiya-style stick packs (both NiMH and 2S LiPo) or “shorty” 2S LiPo packs. The guys around me have use Lectron Pros, ProTek and Gens Ace. I’ve seen a few RêveD shorty packs but those were mostly on RêveD MC-1 chassis. I’ve only seen one or two actual Yokomo Racing Performer shorty packs but most have been Gens Ace or Lectron.

@RoadsideRC

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the response. Nimh is very heavy, correct?

my go-to is the CNHL 4000mAh 7.6V 2S 120C HV. They are usually under $30 a piece and weigh about 165g. They are very similar to the Gens Ace Redline 4000 LCG which is also very good. The CNHL seems to have a bit more runtime which explains the slight extra weight. For the price, they can't be beat.

I have been eyeing the chassis...it is carbon fiber...but there is a lot of it... :)

Now that I’ve got a few of the Redline batteries (needed the really slim batteries to fit the Usukani chassis), I think I’m gonna go with bullets for my drift cars. Sticking with Deans for the crawlers tho…

Hey 👋🏻thanks as always nice and informative video. I have Hobbywing XR10 Pro-Stock 2S 80A ESC and Gens Ace Redline 2S LiHV Battery 130C (7.6V/5100mAh). ESC’s website says 6V - 7.4V so is it still safe to use 7.6v ?

A 2S standard lipo charges to 8.4V....so it will be fine. Even though I have HV lipos, I typically don't charge them to the HV.
