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.ph...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

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

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

Jason

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

JAM MaxAmps

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.

Jason

Ya i think i will stick with that one charger that you recomended

JAM MaxAmps

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

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

JAM MaxAmps

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.

How about hobbico chargers are those any good?

JAM MaxAmps

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

Jason

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

JAM MaxAmps

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

Jason

vxlstampede king

JAM MaxAmps

Your very welcome.

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

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.

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

JAM MaxAmps

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

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

JAM MaxAmps

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?
