ok im looking into buying the rustler VLX when its released any idea's where i can get a 800mAh 3S Lipo battery preferably under 300$

Ebay...Towerhobbies(.com)...um...your local hobby shop(lhs)[&:]

Why only 800mah? They come with much more capacity than that and aren't nearly that expensive. You also need to pay attention to the discharge ability of the battery. I'd reccomend one with the ability to hit at least 20C.

You mean 8000mah right?

Also, I am not familar with the new VLX cars/trucks what voltage can they handle? A 3S is 11 volts right?

3s lipos have a nominal ratimg of 11.1v. A full charge usually reads around 4.2 v/cell, 12.6v for a 3s pack and they should NEVER be discharged to below 3v per cell, 9v on a 3s pack.

you can get a 3s2p 8200mah at united hobbies for less than $140

ya i meant 8000 mAH sorry

i couldnt find the battery you where talking about at united hobbies

Just connect 2 of these in parallel. https://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITED...idProduct=4131
