Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckiller Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 2 7.2v stick packs will be lighter but a 12v will give better power for starting by having a higher discharge value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Mr_V Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I use 2 x 7.2v 4500mah in mine and it works fine. More than enough power for a very long day's racing and it turns over even the tightest engine A 12v battery works out cheaper though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Master Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I used to use 12v gel in mine but its so heavy its unreal so i went to 2x 7.2v 4600 packs but just dident have the umphh that the 12v had i have just put in 2 lipo packs the cheep core 3200 ones last longer than the 4600 and its got more punch than the 12v gel and very light these are the ones i have in my starter boxes i got them from HK work out about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
