Hi guys im new to this forum and i need some help. I own a redcat volcano with brushed stock motor and stock battery. I feel line its not fun enough. I would line to upgrade to a Lipo battery. Do i need to modify anything before i do this upgrade??? Is is it just plug and play?
Thanks.

The batteries on this page are the replacements:

Look at the True Spec Extremes with purple in the labels at the bottom of the webpage.

^ You are correct, I recently asked Danny and that was his response. The Extreme packs were pretty amazing so hopefully these are just as awesome or better! For the $ I would say it's worth a shot.

Ok thanks for the response. I ordered some promatches cause I couldn't find the extremes with the red labels. But I needed them for this weekend anyways and the purple ones you have to preorder anyways. So I guess I'll wait til they come in stock and get one to try it out. I agree tho the extremes were kick ass. I had one of the full size 6000mah 100c for my TC so really wanted a shorty for my 4wd buggy.

You need to check the manual for the ESC in your truck to make sure it has a low voltage cutoff or LVC. If not then you could damage the new batteries if you try using them

For anyone running the new SMC true spec extreme batteries with the 5mm inboard connectors, are you doing anything to seal off the bottom of the tubes when you're driving? Like electrical tape or epoxy?

I have 4 of the SMC 9000mah 2S packs and so far, they seem to be working well in my E-Revo Brushless.

I have the LVC set to 3.5V per cell. I read a lot of people on the traxxas forums suggest that, but not sure if that's just in general or just for traxxas packs.

First time that I bought lipo from smc just want to know if it is normal. Received the pack hard case but seems a little soft compared to other lipo does not feel solid. Then when you shake it you hear and feel cells moving inside, is that normal voltage 3.9 each cell, did not charge it yet and no response from smc yet

There definitely shouldn't be any rattling of the cells inside. The cell voltage seems normal though. But you should get a response soon from one of the SMC reps. They're great about customer service.

Thank you will wait for there response

SMC batteries rock!

Can anyone link me to their receiver battery? Also, has anyone had any experience with flashpoint's receiver battery?

To the best of my knowledge they don't currently have an RX battery. They may have in the past but it's definitely not on their website now.

Who makes a top notch receiver, transmitter, and bump starter battery?

I can't really help you there lol. I've never actually used a receiver battery in any of my electric cars and I've only used NiMh when I ran nitro many moons ago.
