barnettgs Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) I'm looking at TRX-4 Sport if it is any good. Regarding a 3rd party battery & charger for it, is there such one? I was reading about Traxxas's own iD connector and it doesn't say anything about 3rd party batteries with old TRX plug that would work TRX-4 sport? I already have a charger but it seems a bit wasteful to get a new Traxxas charger and a Traxxas battery, just for use with its own cars & trucks.

Kpowell911 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) You can use whatever 2s/3s lipo that fits, and charge it however you want. Youll probably need to solder on a new connector to your ESC (voiding the warrenty) or run an adapter (which is what Im doing) Obviously you wont have the ID part, but thats not needed Edited March 23, 2022 by Kpowell911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked at a few from Modelsports, do I look for an adapter with TRX female plug? As it is intended for my young kids, would 2s lipo be sufficent?
