Well , I pulled the trigger on a Hobbyking 3s 35 C 5000 mah LiPo today .
I have been running 2s 35c LiPo in my trucks for about 3 months and want a little more speed for fun .
I have a Rustler VXL , Pede VXL , Slash VXL , and a Slash 4x4 PE with a MMP 4700 Motor and MMP ESC .
I can use it in all 4 trucks . Ready for some serious crazyness .
Not sure if it will fit in the Rustler or Pede without modification ?? But I will make it fit !! Not afraid to put the dremmel to work .
My Slash's are set up for racing so not sure if they will get the 3s on board , but the Rusty and Pede are gonna take some abuse for sure .
Any tips for set up or upgrades that help the trucks handle the 3S LiPo ???
Just gonna do speed runs with it at the local stadium parking lot . Till it get bored with that and do a 70 MPH launch off my homemade ramp . I have been doing that on 2S at about 40 MPH . LOL
Actually Traxxas makes a battery try expansions kit, that lets you drop a 3s right in.
