Right Lipo for starter box.
|
You need a 4s that has at least 15c and 2000 mah highe is better. I use a losi 4s 20c 2200 mah and it starts both cars all race day and then some.
The zippy is more than enough much bigger than what I run. |
|
i use the protek 4s 2200mah and it is plenty. the venom pack is nice. venom just lowered the prices on all there lipos.
|
heres another one from the hobbyking website for $20 cheaper:http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...00mAh_4S1P_15C |
2000mah 20C and better
I use zippy-h 5000mah 30C so i dont have to recharge it that often 4s of course |
How many cycles are you guys getting out of the zippy packs? People sure seem to like them.
|
some of my packs are 60+cycles and still in perfect shape.
with the battery technology moving so fast i can't justify buying battery that promises 300+cycles for 3times the price of cheap packs that perform as good ,because in one or two years time, there will be new, better generation of batteries. |
they are pretty much all the same frank , i havent had any trouble whatsoever when testing any of there batteries . i would put a 6v lipo cutoff in your starter box though ;) batteries get pretty round when over discharged :D

I have a 4S 25c 5000mah zippy and it takes forever for me to use up all the charge. After 3 race days I still had around 60% left. I think a 2200mah to 3000mah would be the most practical. You can get a lipo voltage checker on eBay for a few bucks. When the volt per cell gets to around 3.7V/cell @ no load (resting) go ahead and charge it.

although, i had some high end 12ga. speaker wire laying around, and ive been using that just fine for a few months now with no issues. either way, 12ga. braided wire, and youre golden |
I used to run the Protek one until my second one sh8t the bed....I now use a 3S 15c 2200mAh pack for my heli and it works just fine. Honestly gel cells are rated at 12V and a fully charge 3S lipo is 12.6V so it's got plenty of juice. A 4S lipo comes in at 14.4V so you're actually overpowering your starter box motor. It's no big deal, but overtime the motor won't last as long..... my 2 cents
