Stormbringer Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Looks really good mate Have you ran it yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Johnty Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 Yes just around the back garden thats all sounds and moves real well. can i ask a quick question please? The guy i got it from said not to use a battery over1800Mah as it might burn it out. I was under the impession that a higher Mah just gives you a much onger run time as long as you dont go over 7,2V. i was planning on putting a 5000Mah Ni-Mh battery in it at the moment it has a 1800Mah Ni-cd that is not great. can i up the Mah without damaging it??

Stormbringer Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hmm not heard that before and i do use various up to 5000 mah nihms in mine but cant guarantee it wont burn yours out having said that I have run up to 5000 mah nihms in 3 Heng long and 2 Taigen tanks tho without issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hmm err no if its a standard sized nihm ie sub c the 1800 is same size as a 5000mah and it will fit straight into the battery box The only tank i have that it wont fit is the T34 which uses a pack with smaller cells its more like a transmitter pack in size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This is style T34 battery https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/overlander-nimh-battery-pack-2-3-af-1600mah-72v-mini-tamiya-384284 this is style my other Heng Long/Taigen tanks use and i use in them https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/enrich-power-5000mah-72v-nimh-stick-tamiya-396624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Johnty Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 yes i was under the impression that Mah just extends the run time. my next question is when i fully charge the 7.2v it is realy 8.2v wont that hurt the system board in the tank? I never have a problem putting a fully charged battery at 8.4v in an rc car so would it be any differaen in the tank. as you canntell im not very up on electronics.

Stormbringer Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 doesnt matter the mah of the nihm as all 7.2v will be 8.2 when full i would say I do know that the Heng long boards are kind of working on their limits with not a lot of leeway but i dont see how a higher capacity will damage it to be fair i do use 4200 or 5000 mah nihms in most of my tanks with up to now no ill effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
