i was looking at other posts and i saw one that said the batteries make or break the car. he is talking about the dura trax piranha 6 cell 1900mah. i was thinking of using that type of battery for my tt01d kit that i just bought since i already had them. i do not get what he means by break the car. hope to get a reply.

Make Or Break = Weather you will enjoy the car or Not...

a 1900mah Battery is going to last around 7-8 minutes...

It is Recommended you buy a Battery that is rated at LEAST 3000mah in order to get a Decent run time out of your Car.
Drifting on a Smooth Surface with Home Made Polypipe tyres I can get at least 20 minutes Solid drifting from a 3000mah Intellect Battery..

It is also Recommended Getting a Delta Peak Charger that will peak your Batteries ensuring that they are properly Charged and looked after.

So A Charger that has an Amperage of 2 amps.. is going to take 1 Hour to charge Your 1900mah Battery..
Buying a Charger that has an Output of 3 - 5 amps will charge that same Battery in around 30 mins..

Make Sure that your Charger is nimh/nicd Safe..

Charging a Nicd Battery on a Nimh Charger is a Bad thing
Charging a Nimh Battery on a Nicd Charger is a Very Bad thing..

Make sure your Charger can do both..

If Your not sure what to Buy, Just post up links and we can assist you in deciding..

nah m8 i get a good 15-20 mins from my 1900 pack on drifting it seems it last longer than doing speed runs maybe i just got a lucky battery tho


EDIT that is on PVC wheels tho so traction is at Minimum maybe why...

well what he is saying is that decent 3000mah's will last longer than your batteries right now. Also if you need a peak charger, let me know because i have one id be willing to sell, its a duratrax intellipeak, the 54.95$ one.

what batteries would you recommend that are not too expensive??

magnat

OK So your Charger is good...

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXERB5&P=7 3000mah


http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLFW4&P=7 3600mah (Intellect often under rate their Batteries so Expect around 3800mah)


http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKWU9&P=7 2 of these would be OK..



Your not competitively Drifting so there is no need to go too overboard but the packs above would do nicely..

thanks for the help. i did not really know what batteries to get but you narrowed down my choices thanks. what color do you think the subaru body would look cool in? i dont know if i want to paint it blue like the original or another color.

magnat

Another color...

Try Black, Red, Silver Metallic Too many Blue WRX's...
Try what I did...




Mix it up a little...
