IMO, it's one of the best cars available for what it does (put down and play anywhere).

i like mine. no regrets for me. i have the brushless model.

MPevine11

i think im goping to get it. its the brushless (VXL) model. but he doesnt have any lipo batteries. what kind of batteries and charger should i buy? and how long before the batteries die and need to recharge again??

pyromatic177

Um it depends on what MAH you get for them, I suggest these batteriesspcracing.com/index.phpAnd this chargerwww.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.htmland you'll need this charger adapterwww3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p

MPevine11

wow why did i think batteries were going to be like $40 each?!?!

so would i run one battery at a time or would i get that connector and run 2 at a time?


and how long for each run? like 20-30 mins?

MPevine11

ok alot of good reviews on there batteries here:

Get those batteries, but get this connector to solder on to it; http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...et-Male-Female . Solder on the one that is not on your esc. Do not run 2 LiPO Batteries at a time with the stock ESC, the voltage would be too high and you would burn up the ESC once you plug them in. 1 LiPO is great. One good upgrade is some denser shock springs.

another question:
Will my DX2s controller/reciver work with the 1/16 revo?

pyromatic177

Sure that's a good combo! But yeah you run this plug www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_25_1466_1231/products_id/141619/n/Traxxas-Parallel-Battery-Wire-Harnessfor the lipo's it'll last like 35 min i beileve with the 2. Because it uses the MAH of the 2 with the voltage of the one!

pyromatic177

And RPM is always a good upgrade for those. And your remote will work with that as long as the receiver fits in the car LOL

MPevine11

reciver fits perfectly, and i can get steering to work. how to i get throttle to work? this is my first electric RC..........

pyromatic177

Hmmm try turning the ESC wire around in the receiver. Cause I know if you put the wire in backwards it won't work right

MPevine11

just made an order:

push rods
toe links
LIPO charger
Rpm rear arms
RPM front rms
New front body mount assembly


Ordering 4 Lipos and the connecters maybe today need to figure out how much money i have.......


Slipstream body, wheels and wing coming soon

MPevine11

just ordered batteries and connectors

pyromatic177

Nice! Did you figure out that Throttle channel on the receiver problem?

MPevine11

Yes I did so I have the dx2s working now


What do I have to do in order to run a lipo battery? Anything special I have to do?

pyromatic177

Make sure the ESC is in Lipo mode. Which is either a solid red or green light. Look in your mannual

The_Shark

yeah, I think its a green light if it's in lipo mode.

MPevine11

Woah thanks for telling me! Should I change the gears or anything?

pyromatic177

Nah if it's stock it should be fine
