Didski Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well its cleared customs & now its at the local post office, gotta be here for the weekend! Woohoo! Pics please when arrives.

Samuran Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Why do you want the L or just really don't want a NiMH battery cluttering up the place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didski Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) No price difference and I get a battery I can use with the Lipo 2S included in the L, I will never use the NIMH and still have an unused one from the 6808 I bought!

Noj Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Traxxas own brand lipos are expensive, compared to hobbyking offerings, however, unlike cheaper lipos, are better made and more likely to give the actual c rating quoted. Not that I would buy one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didski Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wouldn't buy one either, but when they are given away! SMC called and they can't get the Lipo version, nor can MS. Looks like its an import to get the L or just go for R and stick with my Overlander and Nano-Tech batteries. Anyone remember the import fee that is added to the 20% VAT?

Bigjimknickers Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Oh yes, the nano tech 3s 8400 mah battery is here! It's a monster! Looks like a direct copy of the 2878. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didski Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) It's such a heavy lump though, not sure whether to sell mine as not used and to get smaller one. Afraid it may cook my standard elecs! Edited April 29, 2014 by Didski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didski Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Is it the weight that worries you? Do you use other 3s? Yeah, I love 3S with the cars stock electrics - hasn't let me down...yet! Where's the wood!!! I have one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/271224487098 - Overlander Lipo Batteries 6500mAh 3S 11.1v 25C Hard Case which I use all the time in it currently. Great thing with your Platinum is that you can do whatever you want as you put the elecs and motor in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Nope, it's a ARTR, it has the velineon in it already, just no tx RX. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/traxxas-slash-platinum-rolling-chassis/rc-car-products/372866 Tbh I'll use it til it dies then replace it, I expect it to die, just not straight away!

Didski Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Oh OK. I like the Traxxas ones as I love their telemetry. First Slash 4x4 with old chassis, I bought phone holder part and telemetry and added it myself - wish I got the Ultimate then as it could have saved me some money! Can't believe its coming up 2 years since I got my first Slash! http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/151485-didskis-slash-4x4-plus-upgrades/ - shows I've had the 3S coming up 2 years too! I've had the Nano battery lump almost a year and not used it either! http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/171965-someone-stop-me/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
