Gixer Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi, bought a ftx carnage and want a bit more speed from it so I'm looking at a new lipo for it,can anyone recommend one that won't fry the esc or motor.... Having seen the massive difference in price on fleabay I have no idea which one to try. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Your carnage is brushed? Or brushless? If it's brushed then a cheap brushless combo will give you the best speed boost - coupled with a lipo. Either way cheap lipo's are probably best direct from Hobbyking.com, just make sure you choose the UK warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've put one of these in my Carnage: http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__42935__Turnigy_TrackStar_Waterproof_1_10_Brushless_Power_System_3520KV_80A_UK_Warehouse_.html Powered by these (among others): http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__9504__Turnigy_3600mAh_2S_30C_Lipo_Pack.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixer Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sorry I forgot to say it was the brushless version so no need to upgrade the electrics until I destroy it. Want bigger lipos don't want to fry it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Stick with HK, upping the mah or C rating shouldn't make a difference if your using the same esc / motor and they will continue to draw what they did before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
