Does anybody know of any other lipo's that fit the 18t other than the align 3cell. I'm looking for a 2 cell to fit in the tray.

PolyQuest 1800 11.1v Li-Poly Pack are a perfect fit.
or alternatively, the PolyQuest 1800 7.4v Li-Poly Pack (2 cell) will work also.

sorry to jack thread but why dont people use higher capacity lipo's like 4500 is this because of thermaling or are they to big

too BIG to fit. unless you want to make some major mods. The PQ 1800 11.1V are just right. Size: 34mm x 98mm x 28mm
btw, on a BL system, you'll get excellent runtimes - 60min+.

jimbobmarley

so although they called 1800 they have about 4 times the run time of a 1800 nicad/nhim cells

11.1 V???? i thought the stock esc would only go up to 8 something volt

schmism,

"on a BL system..."...

a 2 cell lipo is fine on the stock esc, but then its recommended you use a low-voltage device (fmadirect sells one) to protect your investment.


jimbobmarley,

yes. look at the graph of a typical lipo vs niMh/nicad and you'll also see that the lipos hold a better "duration" of the charge (ie. discharge is more flat and consistent).

we're talkin about with a brushless set up
