Noj Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Jim, you'll need the battery extension kit to squeeze bigger packs in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Just got back from a quick car park bash, well it certainly handles better than my old slash! Wow, got it flat out straight away, I deffinatly think 3s will suit me more. Gotta clear all the gravel out now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The difference is incredible, corners nice and flat....3s makes it come alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 So, have I bought the wrong battery? I can't see the 2878 8400mah on my instructions or anything about the extension kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didski Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) So, have I bought the wrong battery? I can't see the 2878 8400mah on my instructions or anything about the extension kit.You need the Slash LCG expansion kit which is TRA7426X Get it here: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=372846&gclid=COCes_L9iL4CFSoTwwodDbcANA I had to get a version of it (older type) for my other slash. Thinking about it though, that battery may still struggle to fit due to size needed of 8300mah! I need to order the expansion kit and esc cooling fan, hopefully the Ultimate and Platinum has the upgraded aluminium bearing adapter - if not, get that too!

Bigjimknickers Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Did you get the 3s in the car? Just this second fitting it. 3s fits great.

Bigjimknickers Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Well just finished our first bash with the slash, well it ain't a shelfer any more! Lol, its taken a fair bit of abuse today, ram the 2s & 3s til the lvc kicked in & I've gotta say I'm very impressed with it! Scratched to hell now though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 they are great at taking abuse, somersaults do go wrong but it just keeps on coming back for more! people knock the standard electrics but for me the platinum/ultimate is one of the best rtr out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Looks like I stopped early on both my batteries, 3s is 3.7v per cell & 2s is 3.8v per cell, what does the velineon setup do when cells get low? Cut off or cut power to 50%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 50% don't forget cell voltages dip under load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
