2. I want a good set of 6S packs to run this... What would you all recommend for a good battery?
Keep in mind that this is my first electric r/c vehicle (since I was a kid), so I am trying to learn as much as I can as fast as I can!
Some guys tell me I should just get hard-case packs while others say it doesn't matter... I have no clue! LoL! I have looked at the SMC 6S hard-case packs and they seem pretty legit to me but I wanted to see what you guys had to say before I take the plunge on that big of a purchase!
Thank you in advance!
i use the same motor and after many incorrect lipo buys (3800 - 4400 mah) i realized its way too much run-time and i could also benefit from a weight saving, so after buying packs from 3000mah to about 3500 it was still too much, and now i exclusively use 2600mah gens ace 25-50c packs and they work great (12-14min runtime) and the weight is no more than 400grams...
just something to consider before you purchase your lipos, i wish i had someone to tell me this before i wasted $$$ on 6-7 lipos im probably no longer gonna use.
