Lost Eskimo Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi guys first post here so excuse me if its a daft question. (New to rc) Just got an ftx vantage brushless and wanting to get a spare battery as the current one doesn't last long. Having done some reading I see there are loads of different specifications etc and it's blowing my mind a bit tbh. Please can can anyone recommend the replacement batteries and charger they are using in a vantage so I know it fits and works etc. Links would be most appreciated.

Deadleg Roberts Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) A Turnigy or Zippy from Hobbyking will work fine. You just got to be careful that the leads don't sprout from the top centre as this is where the battery holder clamps down. I was using a Turnigy 5000mah, 60c, hardcase in my Carnage. If I was buying again I would probably go for a softcase as they are a bit cheaper and I have never had any problems with damage to the case. Edit. The only problem with Hobbyking batteries is that you need to solder a connector on, unless you take it to your local hobby store. This can add extra costs if you don't have soldering equipment.

Deadleg Roberts Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 A Core or Overlander 4 button charger will be a good choice for indoor charging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
