Hi again. This forum has been so helpfull so i feel free to throw out another question
Im looking at turnigy 2s lipos, this will be my first time with lipos.
How much mah do i need? Ive been looking at 5600mah 50-100c.
Im planning to drive mostly outside on a asphalt track with a 8.5t and 6.5t motor.
Im totally new with onroad driving. Im only driven a slash 2wd before.

Thanks

Since you probably have had no other rc experience, you will find a mod tc frustrating to drive. Start in a slower class and build up skills bofore you start in mod. As for batteries smc are very good but i dont know if they are available in sweenden. Otherwise those turnigy lipos will work fine.

Some motors out there have swappable stators, this will allow you to in effect get two motors on the cheap allowing you the choice of speed or more controllable.

Some places wont let you race with different stators and rotors in the motor cans, even if you state that you are using them.

That battery should be plenty.

That’s a lot of motor for someone just starting out in TC, like the other guy said I recommend dialing it back and start with something lower. To answer your question though, those batteries will be more than enough.

Thanks for the help!
Im not going to start racing, just practicing, atleast the first year.
Ok i have some 17.5t motors but i thought that they would be to slow outdoors on a bigger track.
I also have a 6.5t already. Ive got them all when i bought a used xray t3 2011.
Anyway im pleased to see that those lipos will be enough.
Would it be better starting with a 10.5t motor?

You will be surprised how fast a properly setup 17.5 system is. Obviously do what you want, but TC is NOTHING like a Slash.

Throw a 17.5 in there to start, arms on a TC aren’t going to stand up you driving it in to a wall like a Slash will. Also, don’t wait a year to practice, if you want to hit the track a few times on your own to practice that's great. However, if you truly do plan on racing at some point the best practice is actually doing it.

And remember, when racing, slow is fast.

My son hates when I say that but it’s true.
