triggerfreak -> Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (1/29/2008 11:13:27 PM)

What is a good battery and charger set up for the rustler vxl truck.I do not want lipo.I would like to be able to charge the battery quickly and maybe 2 at a time.I am looking for batterys that give me some descent speed but the longest run times possible.I don't know much as i have only had what the hobby store has sold me, which was a standard ac/dc charger and like a 6 cell 2400 battery for my emaxx.I don't know if i could use 7 or 8 cells and like 4600 or 500o mah.Thanks!Also a good place to purchase some of your products as i have heard good things.

This link will take you to all of the packs both NimH and Li-Po that will work with your rustler. http://www.maxamps.com/products.php?cat=75 And this link will take you to a charger that will charge two 7 cell packs at the same time with a series adapter. http://www.maxamps.com/Eos6i-AC-DC.htm and the series adapter that will allow you to charge two 7 cell packs as a 14 cell pack. http://www.maxamps.com/proddetail.php?prod=Traxxas-Series-Adapter&cat=78 make sure you order your packs with the Traxxas connector and request one for the Charger leads when you order.

If i upgraded to the vxl from my traxxas stampede would a 9 cell hump pack fit in it? And what charger would i need for a 9 cell 4700 mah?



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:04:24 PM)

Yes the 9 cell will fit in it and the Hyperion EOS0606i AC/DC will charge up to 14 cells NimH.

How fast will that charger charge that battery because i need quick charging time?



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:11:47 PM)

It will charge that pack at 4.7 amps so about 80 to 90 minutes.

vxlstampede king -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:13:44 PM)

do you know of any faster chargers that will charger it in like 45 min?



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:18:41 PM)

What your talking about doing will only ruin the packs. Not only that but you risk overheating the cells and this could cause a fire or an explosion.

vxlstampede king -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:20:39 PM)

Ya i think i will stick with that one charger that you recomended[:D]



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:22:56 PM)

Just buy two or three packs that way you run one, ones ready and the other can be charging.

Jason



vxlstampede king -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:24:54 PM)

Now have you seen those charger that charge 2 batteries at a time how efficent are those?



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:37:49 PM)

with the proper power supply that can do 360 watts the 0610i DUO we have is very efficient. The 0606i will do two 7 cell packs in series as a 14 cell with no problem.

vxlstampede king -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:49:18 PM)

How about hobbico chargers are those any good?



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:56:31 PM)

If you want the best I recommend the Hyperion Line. I can't comment on any other brands.

Jason



vxlstampede king -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 3:58:46 PM)

ok do any of your twin charger have a ac and dc power source ?



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 4:00:55 PM)

Nope the only AC/DC is the EOS0606i the others are all DC only.

vxlstampede king -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 4:02:28 PM)

ok thank u[:D]



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 4:04:20 PM)

Your very welcome.


Jason



vxlstampede king -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 4:10:24 PM)

one more question what is the hook up on the side of the eos0606i and not the wall plug the white on coming out of the charger?



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (3/26/2008 4:17:15 PM)

All of the new Hyperion chargers come with the Li-Po balancer built into the unit. The charger comes with the Hyperion balance tap board. That id the standard plug that we use on our Li-Po packs.

fritz175 -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (6/18/2008 7:24:17 PM)

Do the Traxxas Series Adapters work on other chargers such as hobbico chargers or is it made for the Hyperion chargers?



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (6/18/2008 7:32:52 PM)

That will all depend on the amount of cells the charger can handle.

Jason



fritz175 -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (6/18/2008 7:52:14 PM)

The charger(Vision Peak 2 AC/DC Peak Charger) I have can take up to 7 cells. Will it work?



JAM MaxAmps -> RE: Rustler VXl Battery & charger! (6/18/2008 8:09:04 PM)

If the charger can only charge 7 cells then no it won't work. If you put two seven cell packs togehter you get 14. We sell these series connectors because the Hyperion chargers can do 14 cells at one time.

Will the 0606i do this on AC? Or do I have to use a DC power supply?
