on the other post (this is your third on same subject)

i told you AROUND 4000mah

i gave you a link to some 3700mah on ebay


instead of posting of same thread again google it

or goto your local hobbies shop and see what they got

here is a link to some more packs

antoher link for you


with 7 cells you have to modify your battery box on the truck

i also told you to post in the electric forum they will tell you good battery packs (cells) brands (i even gave you the link because you could not be bothered to find it your self)

what you need to do if you buy the 7 cell batterys is

wait for batterys to arrive then try and fit them in the battery compartments then see what extra bit you have to cut off the battery compartment


that is all

with the 7 cell batterys they will give you more power so make sure your esc is able to be cooled down (cut a hole in the body) but only if the esc motors get to hot

so you are saying that the new battery could ruin my truck if it gets to hot since they are more powerful?

possible but i doubt it as the seven cells are only ni-hm and not lipos lol

just cut a hole in your body to help with cooling

no because you have to get the batterys 7cell etc....

then put them in your truck and and see what you have to cut to make it fit,

its the only way
