Sorry for the random advice question, I picked up a traxxas buggy today because of this thread. I have several old NiCd battery packs (1500mAh). I fully intend to buy new NiMH batteries, but how much more improved are they (i've been out of the hobby a while)? I guess I'll have to get a new charger and a few batteries as well. Should I buy the bigger batteries 4000+ are they worth it? allWesNoMess fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Jun 8, 2009 |

krushgroove posted:Your NiCad batteries are probably dead (meaning they won't be able to be charged up reliably), you'd be better off getting one or two of the LiPo batteries and a charger - this would probably cost you as much as 4 NiMH batteries but you'll have the same amount of runtime. If you were to get NiMH batteries, you might need a new NiMH-capable charger anyway, because a NiCad charger won't properly charge NiMH batteries. How much run time are you talking? I could maybe get 5-10 minutes out of my tamiya tl-01 shaft drive 4wd car.

krushgroove posted:In that car you could probably get 30 minutes or more with a 4800mAh or so battery (I don't know first-hand), so with a LiPo pack with high milliamp hour rating (mAh) you've got 3x the runtime already. So what's a good site that you guys go to for this kind of stuff?
