stretch Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It would help if you said what models your referring to as 'Tamiyas' is a tad vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt888 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 If you are after a stick pack type of LiPo. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=29020 try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Have to be careful Alex buddy. have a check to what esc are installed in your tamiyas and check the online for manuals to them these will state if they are lipo able . 0.2v does not sound a lot but in electronics it can be a blue smoke special or a just getting by. so please check the esc type before you look at changing to lipo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 My boys Mad Bull has the 104, always on lipo and never an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt888 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 My boys Mad Bull has the 104, always on lipo and never an issue. It may be because on the Sand Scorcher it's enclosed, with no fan on top. I'm going to try it in my TL01 Subaru Impreza chassis with a standard can, I'll see if it's any better in there, I've removed the brushless from the TL01 because it kept pulling the tyres from the rims even after I superglued them on lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
