BATTERY PACK SUGGESTIONS????
 

I have a xray xt8 truggy and I'm needing some suggestions for a reciever battery pack. Any ideas on a good "affordable" pack?

:nod::nod:

Try www.promatchracing.com my son ran a 45 minute Truggy A main at the Rc Xgames with there 5 cell reciever pack. Then ran 20 minutes in the last man standing race forgetting he didn't change batteries.

You can easily make your own from rechargeable AAs like this one -

All you need is a servo extension, soldering iron and shrink. If you are looking budget -

Check out this link, they have a lot of batteries to look at. On the first page for about $34 you have a 2700mah ballistic pack. IT's big and may not work in your car but will go more than long enough.

PErsonally I use the dynamite or orion 1500/1600mah. Both a re small and fit in most every box and I have ran hour mains with them. Good price as well.

It may be a good idea to have two good packs. I like to make sure they are always in top shape.

I ran the orion marathon hump packs in other cars & their flat pack in my 808. I was not happy with their life span, cycle wise. I picked up a no label house brand pack at my local hobbytown a little while ago & am so far happy with it at maybe 20 cycles so far. I dont remember the batt brand but they were blue with yellow accents. Since you have I think the same box as my 808 only much more room between the batt lid & eng I hope you under stand that theres no way in hell I'm gonna fight to get the batts out & find out who makes the cells,sorry. I can tell you that the pack just had a generic Hobbytown label stapled to the top of the bag & right at $30. At that price you might just want to find the orions on sale somewhere(bought mine for $18 on sale)& buy 2 or 3 packs. Your affordable stipulation kinda puts a limit on things like lipo & such.

Hey Guys thanks for ALL the help. This will give me lots of options to look into !!!!!!
