receiver/servo battery???
 
Hey guys, I'm new to the nitro scene. What are you guys dropping in your buggies/truggies with good battery life?


Thanks

I posted a similar question today about what battery/charger to get. Here is a receiver pack im looking at: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...h-Normal-Style

Check the dimensions though to make sure the pack you get will fit.

And for charging them there are peak chargers and just simple over-night wall chargers..i think im going to go with the wall charger for the pack is the only thing i'll be charging.

Welcome to the nitro scene!

Stickman Batteries are GREAT! i will only run Stickman packs, ive had a bunch of brands and they always seem to fail fairly quick and his never do (knock on wood :lol: )

i have two of the one your looking at but dont use them since i switched from Jammin to HB. now im running the 1600 hump pack, i can get over an hour on the battery. the 2500 mAh can go all day without charge.

Losi Lipo - two years on one pack and no problems....

Depending on the radio and servos you are running lipo may or may not be for you. Either way and 1600 nimh pack is more than enough. I have used the trinity ep packs and ib packs. They always worked well as did the Orion packs.
