Using Other Batteries
Your model is equipped with a state of the art, high-performance
power system. It is designed to be able to flow large amounts
power with the least amount of restriction. The benefits are
drastically increased speed and acceleration. However, this
places extra demands on the battery and electrical system
connections. For best performance, your model requires the use
of NiMH battery packs that have cells rated for high discharge
and use high-quality, low-resistance assembly techniques, such
as the included Traxxas Power Cell Battery Pack. Cheaply made
battery packs do not retain their performance characteristics
after repeated uses in high-powered electric applications. They
will lose their punch and run time and may require frequent
replacement. In addition, poor-quality, high-resistance cell
connectors could fail, requiring disassembly and repair. The main
goal is to reduce all sources of high resistance in the pack. This
includes the connector, the wire, and the bars attaching the cells
together. High pack resistance will create
additional heat and rob you of the full
power the cells are capable of producing.
We recommend using Traxxas Power Cell
batteries for best performance.
