Battery upgrade for the Ftx 1/10 Carnage 4WD RTR Brushless

[Nickarla]

2s (2 cell) lipos) are what’s needed for the FTX cars.

 

3s (3 cell) lipos will give more power but it’s too much for the FTX drivetrain and plastics when you inevitably crash at higher speeds.

 

Mah has nothing to do with power so won’t ‘cook’ anything. It relates to how long the car will keep running

 

For a Carnage/Bugsta you want 2s 5500mah or 6000mah lipos to get the best runs times. BUT, check the dimensions first to see if it will fit into the battery tray.

 

I used the Zippy 2s 6000mah and saw 1 hour run times in my Carnage.

Bought my son a carnage for Xmas. The spare battery I bought and the one that came with it don’t last long - max 10 mins each. 
what can I get to improve length of run time? 
thanks

Hi does anyone know if the zeee 3s 5200 mah 80c battery's are any good for the carnage? Already got a abisma 3s 4000mah  50c and it's crazy fast but want a bit more punch and a bit longer run times.. it's pretty much fully upgraded with carbon and ally and have the rw racing spur and pinion, and used to blowing diff up so bought a load of spare gears and housings for that lol jus Wana know if the zeee battery's are worth it or jus get another abisma
