Euanhazelton Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi all I'm just curious on getting some lipo batteries for my new kit but I'm not sure on what to order and if they will fit the car I've got it's a 1/12th scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi, you want 2s not 1s. Look on hobbyking for any 2s lipo that will fit, on mine I removed the battery mount and hold them down with heavy duty velcro. You want a battery around 100x35x20.

In the interests of safety you're best advised to run a hard cased micro LiPo: https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/294087/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coops Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I run these 2s LiPos in all my LC cars https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-2200mah-2s-25-50c-lipo-pack.html?queryID=56967d895c71d773d2006a0126c885f6&objectID=30637&indexName=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products&___store=en_us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
