Nope, should be fine. Just watch your motor temps the first few runs and gear accordingly. If its cold you can go bigger pinion for more top speed, if its hot gear down. I run the same spec battery in my RC10T4.1

I absolutely LOVE the stadium truck class.

GarrettZ

thanks man cant wait to use it. also do i have to change my truck to lipo mode? or should it be good to go?

I am assuming you got RTR? If so probably yes. My associated RTR had a Reedy SC900BL and it needed to be put in lipo mode when I got it.

is it hard to do? this is my 1st RC Car so i dont want to mess anything up. i might just take it to my local bobby shop tomorrow and have them help me haha

ElectricMann

It'll just take a little longer but you'll be fine. That's a good little charger.

GarrettZ

thanks so much guys! i thought i messed up buying that charger haha. thanks again!

ElectricMann

You did .. but it will work..nothing like a hour charge..LOL

GarrettZ

do i have to use the balancer when charging 2s lipos? because one of the cords on the balancing plug came un-attached :/

GarrettZ

ok its been plugged in for about 30 mins with the balance connector plugged in and now it says its balancing. is there a chance my battery came pre-charged somehow? i hope im not doing anything wrong

It is explained in the instructions, but the Reedy has to be the hardest on to set-up with following the beeps.
