Review on 11.1V 2200MAh 50C OVONIC 3S Lipo Battery With Dean-Style T Connector For RC Airplane Helicopter Quadcopter Car Truck Boat by Mark Tompkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

blown away by the performance vs 2s!

So, new to the hobby bought some Traxxas Slashes for the kiddos over xmas and most shops recommended 2S lipos hardcase 5000mah. Anyway, those were great but then I started getting deeper into the hobby myself, got into crawlers this past month and about 2 months ago got into 1/10 touring cars which let me to speed running said touring cars.Long story short, I kept using the same 2S batteries hoping for improved speeds. got a castle brushless setup, geared up the pinion, etc but still kept using the 2s batts.Anyway, got this cheap $18 batt and OMG! more wheel speed on the crawler got me up hills it would never go on with the old 2s battery. At least a 30-40% power/torque increase. Dusted off the old traxxas rustler and plan to do speed runs soon. Old record on a 2S was about 40mph, pretty sure she'll do 60 now so I can join that club!Best bang for the buck. A must buy if you're after wheel speed, top speed runs and improved bashing performance overall. Warning though, I believe the XL5 Esc in the traxxas won't handle a 3S lipo, but Castles BL setup will and I have a HobbyWing 1080 ESC for my crawler which can handle 3S, just be sure to check your ESC rating before going 3S.
