okay those are six cell sport packs. its a good battery. Vato runs Li-ion i think. A123s im almost positive. and a good lipo is gonna cost you close to $100 for a 3800. a 3800 lipo is supposedly equivalent to a 4200 nimh battery but will lats longer, give you a little more punch, and wont have the voltage drop of a nimh battery. but a charger is gonna cost you another $140 or so. it gets slightly more performance, but costs a ton more.

I think if he went with the 5700 and the 4400 nimh pack he would do more than fine!!! What do you think!!! I just ordered some more fuel line for the TRIPX its flashy orange! I finnally toasted the Glow plug today ... I switched two different ones out during breakin.... The other is still lookin brand new!!
Back to the subject at hand The 5700 with the 4400 nimh should be pushin close to 65,000 RPM
Which would be great and save his pennys buying those sport packs.....I here about people running standard 6-cells and are pullin fine and if he gets tired of those then he could have enough to buy some LIPOS 3s for it...

no low that battery wouldnt push your pede into a new galaxy. it probly wouldnt even be a noticable change in performance. it owuld just last longer.

that battery will move your pede better though. last longer and give you more punch. and this one will do even better! no it wont give you 14-19 mph on top speed. it will give you 5 MAYBE though. just maybe.

and no a 7700 in a rusty isnt the best idea. not unless he puts 9.6 volts through it. and even then im not sure if he would have voltage drop or not. that motor takes serious power to make it move that fast. he is better off with the 5700 and a 6 cell 4400. and he should probly get a race pack over a sport pack. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLYY6&P=0 good battery. matched, zapped, and pre assembled. ib4200 race spec cells and it will probly last longer then the 4400 in life too.

Well at least the battery wouldnt go dead before I made it into the GALAXY

Those Batterys are sweet God I wish my money was longa!!
Those or even the 9.6 volts but I dont have the loot for the charger and all that right now!!!!! Ive got to go buy a 5 Gallon bucket of blue thunder and a cargo shipment of AA BATERYS Pretty pricey... But hopefully have some BDAY money
I get to watch bits of the DAYTONA on my B-DAY
