New to rc racing looking for help with Rc10B4.2
I just got an Associated Rc10B4.2 buggy for racing. Im new to rc racing Ihave been to my local track a few times and most of them run a traxxas bandit 2wd brushless. But I have read alot on th Rc10B4.2 and I think it will be competitive with there buggys. I just need help picking a battery and charger . At the track I can run a 2s lipo or 6cell NiMH. I was thinking a SPC 2s 5000mah lipo. I have just never used lipo I hear that they make the car run faster then NiMH batterys. Any advice for a newbie would be appreciated. Thank you
The track I will be racing on is a clay oval track but they also have a SCT track with a few small jumps I want to run it on but most of the time it will be on the oval track. The buggy will have a late model dirt oval body.

Oh. You're doing oval racing. Gotcha. Knowing that, you probably want a high MAH battery with a lower C rating.

I'm curious , why would the battery make a difference since the Lipo is gonna give better power? I'm getting more and more into oval was just wondering why the suggestion of MAH.

Well, higher MAH=longer run times. When you're running on an oval course, you are nearly on the throttle the whole time. Each one of these races last between 5-10 minutes, so you want a powerful battery, but not one that is too powerful, as it will disperse its energy faster and you won't have enough power to finish the race.

In Layman's terms...a 2S LiPo battery is same as a 7cell NiMh battery in terms of voltage. LiPo batteries are also lighter than NiMh or NiCd batteries from back in the day.
