the battery tray has a foam block which i can remove and would give me about an extra inch of room would this be enough to accomodate an 8.4 v battery.

Can anyone tell me the biggest battery (not lipo just yet ) that i would be able to get for my step up stinger brushless ive been looking at some from vapextech but dont know which would be best 8.4 or bigger cheers.

Ive seen a few others the thing thats drawing me to the rustler is the waterproof electrics as my lad wants to be out in all weather, also just out of interest on my stinger brushless im just using nimh batteries not lipo will the difference in speed between the two be really noticable as the battery you get with the rustler is bigger than the one with my stinger.seen some videos of the brushed rustler and it doesnt look much slower than my stinger.

Hi all im thinking of buying myself and my son a new car each ive already got a stepup stinger brushless but im thinking of getting two traxxas rustlers just brushed for now but wondering can i upgrade these to brushless later and are they any good the brushed versions cheers in advance.

After some good advice from the lads on here with being new to rc also i bought a step up stinger brushless got it just before christmas the thing is pretty quick as it is and i only got a 2000mah battery in the package so am upgrading to lipo asap, its also pretty tough my driving aint the best yet so its had a fair few bumps but would defo recommend.

cheers for all the advice guys think i'll get myself a lipo set up, looking forward to longer run times and higher speed.

thanks for your help just been looking at a few from hobbyking and somewhere else but cant remember but they all seem to have different style connectors is this an easy thing to sort out.

at the moment prob around

ok so prob worth saving and getting a lipo and charger, after reading a few things on here am i right in thinking its best getting hardcase lipo's and also where to get them from.

Hi all just got my step up stinger brushless the other day had a couple of runs with it but the battery that came with it is only 2000 so only getting around 5 mins run time i am planning on getting lipo when i can but in the mean time am going to get a bigger nimh battery just wondering if anyone can recommend any also its not as fast as i thought it would be is this down to the battery?

Hi Richard ive ordered the step up stinger but brushless good to see a review as like you say a few things have been said about it but no real reviews so its good to hear that i seem to have made a good choice, what sort of run time are you getting with your battery?

Hi all ive just found out my brushless step up stinger is being delivered tuesday thing is the battery im getting is only a cheap 2000 and after reading on here about lipos i think i need to invest in a decent battery and charger only thing is i spent more than i wanted to on the car so can anyone recommend a reasonably priced battery and charger bearing in mind the car is only for fun not racing cheers.

how much would a lipo battery of that size and charger cost roughly and what run time could i expect not really for racing just messing about.

yeah it was without but added battery and charger for a little extra cost the battery is actually 2000

Hi all after some good advice on here just ordered the stinger brushless just wondering though it comes with pistol grip controller can i change this to a stick type controller as that what i feel more comfortable with and also what run time should i expect from it the battery in the package is only 1800.

thats the one yeah but i seen it at time tunnel models at

just seen this and was wondering opinions on if it looks any good? The all new monster truck from FS racing is a 4WD high powered electric racing RC truck. Not to be confused with toy radio controlled cars, these are the real deal. With a big powerful 550 motor, bevel differentials and an electric speed controller the RC truck is very powerful. Fully installed RC equipment, 7.2V battery pack with charger are all included. The truck comes fully built so all you need to do is charge the battery (10 to 12 hours with the supplied charger) do some pre-checks and then you are ready to race. The radio transmitter has interchangeable frequency crystals so trucks can be raced against each other without interference. The monster truck style with the large oversized tyres, increased ground clearance and monster bumper make this a great model for off road bashing whilst the independent suspension and differentials also means it can perform well also on road when needed. The truck is packed with features that are not normally found on standard level models. For starters the battery is a whopping 3000mAh. This means the truck will run longer at it's maximum speed and also have longer drive time between charges. The standard transmitter is an FM model, that features an LCD screen and electronic configurator for fine tuning the transmitter to your driving style. The servos, ESC and receiver have also been upgraded to match the transmitter. The truck is fully ball raced instead of the usual metal bearings which means it runs smoother and quicker. Suspension is independent on each wheel and is provided by oil filled aluminium capped shock absorbers. The model is adjustable throughout so can be setup and changed to suit the driving conditions and drivers preference. FM radio controller, 3000mAh battery pack and UK charger are all included in the price. All that is required to use is 8 normal AA batteries for the transmitter. SPECIFICATIONS: Length: 430mm Width: 330mm Height: 190mm Tyre Diameter: 120mm Gear Ratio: 10.8:1 Chassis: 2mm AL6061 Drive: 4WD Motor: RC550 Radio: Pro FM Battery pack: 7.2V 3000mAh Ni-Cd Rechargeable

if i was to go for a brushed motor what type of peed am i going to get from 540 motor with a 3000 battery bearing in mind all ive driven up to now is a toy thing from new bright would there be a big difference in speed?

thanks for the advice guys ive also just seen the royal flash limited edition with battery and charger

Yes i would need everything as starting from scratch have senn a few rtr models but just unsure as what to go for also should i start with brushed or go straight for brushless, loads of choice.

Hi all just after some advice really, i bought my son an rc car for christmas and after helping him with it have decided to get one myself i have a budget of around
