I’ve got an old brushed Traxxas Rustler around somewhere. Recently I’ve been thinking about digging it out and driving it around.
I bet my batteries are wasted, though…
Any battery recommendations?
Nice, I’ve considered getting one of those before. I usually use whatever is cheapest. I race with some other guys and we agreed to use 2s batteries only, I usually get the Zeee brand on amazon but thats only because its cheap. Really I would just get the cheapest lipo that has a hard outer shell and the right connector for your truck
I’ll look into that!
Would i need to change the ESC or anything?
Depends what you have, make sure you don’t put a battery with too many cells on it, and make sure the connector matches. If you have a weird proprietary connector, you can probably bring it to a hobby shop and they would switch it for you. The one near me charges like $5 to solder on a different (more common) connector - was worth every penny. IC5/EC5 seems to be the best choice at the moment for the 2-4 cell batteries
