Default RE: Stock traxxas emaxx with lipo


ORIGINAL: jcrew3002

Can a stock eLectric Traxxas emaxx speed control handle a 2 cell lipo battery? Or can it only handle nimh and NiCad batterys?
To run lipos with a stock E-Maxx you would need a Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC), if you don't have one then run NIMH. NiCad batteries are not worth using.
