JonnyUK Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hi all. Not bought yet but it's imminent, its mainly advertised as a 6s/8s and when I read into things it says 2x3s/2x4s. My questions are, can it be run on a single 6s lipo? Does Spektrum do a 6s lipo battery in large Mah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 You can use a single 6s but youl need to put a loop onto the other esc power plug As for Spektrum 6s lipo sorry no idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyUK Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Ok thanks. Since posting I have seen some 6s Lipo's by Spektrum, with the smart feature too which is handy. I just need to work out which ones are safe regarding the amps. I also need to see which has more run time, 2x3s or 1x6s. My thinking behind using the single battery at a time is if I instead use 2 batteries I could end up with one pack with a failed cell, then having to buy 2 more 3s because I did read that using a new pack with an old pack isn't advisable. Are they still fun on a single 4s lipo I wonder... Edited January 9, 2022 by JonnyUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 If they are same amp hour capacity say 5000mah the 2x3s and 1x6s should last the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 basically something like this https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/etronix-female-xt90-bridging-adaptor-with-10g-wire-loop-lead--425612 1 above is an XT90 connector but get 1 with same connector as your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Some cars are supplied with the loop connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
