• How To Choose The Righ...
Literally just getting into RC today and it seemed like a whole can of worms, particularly the whole rabbit hole that is batteries. I have immense confidence in myself to go out and start battery shopping like a pro now. Thank you for the video VERY informative. Definitely getting a sub from me sir👍🏻
Yea that’s true
One day you search for nice RC Car to buy, but next day you watch whole bunch of videos about battery fires 👀
Going back to your drawing demonstration if I have big battery and big esc but small motor then the motor will get hot and overheat killing it right
Thank you, Richie. This was an excellent tutorial. I’m getting back into the hobby after 20yrs and so much has changed. Many thanks again- this helps tremendously. Best wishes
Same here. Getting back in after around 25yrs. There was no such things as brushless motors or LiPo batteries when I was into the hobby.
Same thing here also, used to drive a Cox Turbo Scorpion and Kyosho Optima, haha.
What would be a good Battery for a Traxxas 4 Tec 3.0 Supra ?
Hi buddy just gave you a sub. I’m totally new to RC and just ordered my first car. Can you buy a 12v charger to charge your batteries while in the field ?
Thanks for the video
Paul
yes.
Hi Richie, with no information in the manual and the size of battery in the 'Extras' Package' offered for sale with the car how do you calculate the right size battery for your car? I have a Axial SCX6 Honcho for 'Trail Walking', the suggested battery size 11.1 Lipo. I only use NiMH batteries (my own choice) and it would seem a 9.6 volt Nimh might be a good alternative. Could I go lower say 8.4 V or 7.2? I understand from your excellent Video how mAh can effect the run time, I think 56000 mAh is the highest I can get but I could carry a couple of 3000 mAh batteries for equal run time. Any advice welcome, and best wishes.
Just getting back into rc car and truggy/buggy 1/10 and lipo for the 1st time ever and this video explains lipo batteries mah and the "C" rating so easy to understand, now I know what to get my strada car and my ftx truggy. Great video. 10/10 rating in my book.
Something you also need to know about using a too small battery: The battery itself can be damaged(Puffing up/explode) if you try to drain it faster then it's rating.
For example: Trying to drain 200Amps from a battery rated at 80Amps.
thats why i tell people to get as high mah and C as they can get to not starve the esc of power and blow out their lipos.
true cells have maximum A discharge for example a bad 18650 has 10 or 5 A but a good quality samsung 3000 mah can discharge 20A and those bad cells with low A discharge also have very low capacity compared to what is written on them
What a fantastic video! 👍😊 I would have got into brushless / LiPo earlier had this been around as I just always felt bamboozled - brilliant 👌 Happy Christmas Richie - hope you and yours have a great day - I’m watching this while ‘overseeing’ some serious Lego building, hope Isabella keeps you equally entertained today 👍 Very best wishes from all of us 🙂
Awsome guide. Thanks. Also found out that S rating is synonymous with cell. Some manufacturers choose to label S or Cell
I have a slash 4x4 I put a in 3s 5,000mh it lasted me for 2hr Just having fun no full throttle.
I knew most of this stuff before what hing this video, like voltage, and mAh (but I didn't know that too low of a mAh rating can harm the car). However, in places like C ratings, I had a fuzzy idea of it, but it wasn't clear to me. After watching, I understand! Thanks Richie! I'm going to be keeping this video in my watch later for future reference, or for recommending to friends!
A lot of people worry about the C rating, but basically it's like filling your car up with premium gas not regular! It really won't harm the enigne! It's the current draw from the motor etc that is the main worry. Even when Is started this channel with just 1 rc car I always bought the highest C batteries I could afford
Is 100c enough for racing?
@@MX-CO Depends on what scale, but 100c will be more than enough for most 1/10th scale and smaller vehicles. Could depend on your setup for 1/8th tho
What’s best for run time & power wither running 2 3s batteries or 1 6s battery??
Cheers👍that’s what was confusing🧐and now understandable 😁
Very good explanation video. Absolutely love the diagram and the analogy comparison between the car engine(MOTOR), fuel pump(ESC), gas tank (C-RATING)
If I have a traxxas xmaxx and a hobbywing max6 what is the best battery that gives good speed and run time
I came to the video hoping to find which brand is best to use lolz i know Zeee is good but what others would ya recommend?
Can I use a 3s 5000mAh lipo on a the rustler 4x4 stadium truck
Very informative, great job!
You can run a 1000c battery on a 50a esc. It’s only if the motor can draw too much current and the battery can supply that current that a esc will die from too much current.
Thank you Rich. Looking for longer run time on my stock 124019. The esc gets pretty hot on the stock battery. Thinking a 80c 5200mah is what i need
Awesome job of explaining a hard to fathom subject for many there buddy greta work .
Damn, I was so scared prior to watching this video. Now it all makes perfect sense!!! Thanks you have a new subscriber
Nice video. For those ZOP lipos in the description, how much worse is the performance compared to more expensive gens ace and powerhobby? I have powerhobby lipos at the moment and they're good but getting a bit old. For bashing should I spend the money on expensive lipos or just get the zop ones?
Fantastic that really helped me
Now I can buy with confidence thankyou
I use to race 1/10 electric 4wd rc when I was a boy like 35+ years ago. Just getting back into it hoping to get my son into it. Nicad was the battery used back in my day hahaha. Question, in a racing situation with lipo do people use the smallest capacity possible to save weight?
Great Video, I have a 5000mah 100c with 2s esc and 8200kv motor.. wasn’t sure if the combination was too much.. but this video showed me that I’m doing the right thing ..my rc performs very fast and aggressive👍🏾 thanks
Really good advice I needed👍 subscribed
octane rating does not effect the power, only the heat in witch the fuel Burnes higher octane fuel you want to prevent pre-detonation
other than that great video any way as i want to run a 4s lipo on a 3s motor, great video as usual, very helpful 👍
So I'm ready to purchase my first Felony r c car I want to go with the Spectrum 3s ×2 would that be a good start also Whats a good charger for the battery any tip or tricks would be great lmk thanks great video
@@Macnificent78_ look for as higt mah and C rating as possible.
Awesome video i just got into rc world 2 months ago the only thing i wish i had done was embarked on this wonderful hobby many years ago but better late than never lol great information as i must master this crazy battery stuff to not get left behind lol
Perfect video, thanks from Chile
thank you for making this vid it helps alot.
Fantastic video!!! I learned a lot!!
thanks for explaining this
What is a good nimh battery for drive time
Click! ..... thanks bro 👌👍
Very well said!
Thank you so very much for your wisdom
Thank you for explaining that I just recently got back into RC and the whole LiPO battery was something I was not sure about oh
Good video. Explains alot clearly..
I have a question that wasnt covered. I race rc cars, and use a 6600mah intellec lipo 2s. I think races use about 2000mah. How many of the mah of the battery can be used before taking the battery below its safe discharge? Like could i safely get 3 races out of a pack?
for a car as much mah and C as possible.
Thanks really helpfull
Had 2 3s batteries that retired on me today.. one flew off my rc after hitting one of those parking poles. The other just started to get bloated. Now I only have one 2s battery and that's just not gonna be enough for me. I've seen some batteries with 50c, 80c, etc. Just want to know more about it
Thank you so much I have been looking into getting into the Hobbie and trying to pick the right battery has been confusing. You have been so helpful
That was awesome 👏🏾 thank you sir. I learned alot.
Okay I hope you see this but what is the safest when it comes to the battery overheating while charging then exploding. My NiMH battery exploded yesterday and I wanted to know what is least likely to explode (examples of what I am looking for is NiMH, or lipo batteries stuff like that)
Very well explained top job
Been struggling to find a pair of batteries for my xmaxx. I dont havr the charger and batteries yet. And im not getting the traxxas batteries and chargers since they are expensive. What do you recommend for a powerful amd long lasting battery for it? And what cheap charger can charge them ?
Ask ur local club
Thank you for the education. A job well done explaining batteries.
I'm going to get into RC and this helped me know what battery I should use when I get my First first RC car it can run on 2s or 3s batteries but to use a 3s battery I would have to buy different gears to add to the car to use a 3s battery and it will make the car go 70 miles an hour but I'm going to just stick to a 2s battery which the car will only go 44 miles an hour which I'm fine with that.
I literally was just trying to figure this out for my new RC car!!! AWESOME VID!!! Now the trouble will be trying to find a larger capacity battery that small enough to fit in my WLtoys a 979b!!!
I know what you mean the car I want to get is pretty small
@@MufarowasheMadzimure INDEED this little car is almost too fast! STOCK! Any type of speed upgrades would make the car undriveable!!!
@@74midwestbass74 THEY'RE TOTALLY CRAZY!!!
Can the WLToys a959-b handle 3s? How can I tell? (I need a new battery for mine because it doesn't last very long)
Read manufacturers recommendations
Hello. This is Loyd. Is it possible to run a 7.4 lipo battery to a rc truck that's running 7.2 nickel metal hydride battery?. Is there any possible negative thing that would happen to the whole system? Thanks.
Thank you as someone who has just started the hobby this has been incredibly helpful
Great info ...but anyone every told you, you sound just like KORG from Thor Ragnarok no offense 😆
Thank you so much
Merry Christmas!
Hi Richie, I'm new to this. I bought an RC truck for my son with a 7.4v / 1200ma battery. The problem is that it lasts only 15 to 20 mins max. Which bigger battery can I use safely to last longer. We are not worried about speed, we want him to enjoy the car longer
I’m new to RC’s & just got the Traxxas Sledge, thanks for such a great explanation and video!
Hey guys could someone help me ?
I have an old RC ferrari car and i'm trying to buy a battery for it, it has been lost for years and i don't know which voltage and amps.
It is an Enzo Ferrari from MJXRIC, i got it for my birthday when i was a kid.
All the info i have is that it's a 2005 Enzo Ferarri (the car itself is big the car is my arm's length), and my mother told me the battery was like 3 batteries glued together, i'm trying to make it run again.
Do you think one of you could help me ? thank you guys
(english isn't my main language so sorry if you can't understand)
Best explanation on Lipo batteries I've seen thus far. Great job with the green board Richie!
Excellent video bud, you explained it all well
The *exact* video that I was looking for. I'm *brand* brand new to the hobby with very little knowledge of lipo care that's carried over from airsofting. C rating isn't something that we had to consider in airsoft, at least not back when I was active. I have only just ordered my first rc car on an impulse, hyper go 14303, and was thoroughly confused by the 25C first party battery packs being so expensive. I started looking at 3rd party packs only to see 50C+ being the most common and readily accessible. After running amperage calcs to see if the 45amp esc, that I think the 14303 has, could handle the 50C+ packs... I ended up scared myself off any of those high C rated battery packs. Elsewhere online makes this all out to be a "Bigger peg than the hole" kind of issue where having a higher C rating will kill your esc immediately.
Best breakdown explanation. Thank you!
I like 50c, easier quick starts off the line.
Basically, buy the largest battery that you can fit in your RC; just make sure it has the correct S rating. Simple enough-thanks for the information.
brilliant video 👌 exactly what i needed
The vine on the white board tho 😂
Super helpful for this noob! Thank you 🤘
Very good explanation👍
2:13 But it will still be something to worry about.
I just got my rc bezgar 1/10 scale and the battery is 7.4v
1600 amh
11.84 wh
What can i get to upgrade it
Bravo Richie, Bravo. Very informative and presented well.
Excellent information bro!! Good job!!👍🏾👊🏽
Hey, new to rc hobby. Just ordered an Infraction for my first car. I was thinking about getting 2 3s 150c lipo batteries, but I wanted to know if running 2 6s batteries parallel would give me more run time?
Yes running two 6s in parrallel would dramatically increase the run time, HOWEVER I would wait as Gensace are just about to release some huge batteries for Arrma's like 15000Mah huge!
Your explanation is impressive and way above other videos when searching how to understand this.
Good detailed explanation.
I have RC rock crawler which runs say 10-15 mins on Ni-Cd battery of 4.8V 700MmAh. If I use 2500 mAh battery (Ni-Cd, 4.8 V) does it mean I can get more than 3 times run time? Or there is something more which I didn't understand.
you get more run time but not exactly 3 times more you get more speed you top out your engines power as the stock or low capacity batteries dont push the car to top speed like it has top speed 50kmph and runs at 40kmph on stock 1100mah battery
Thank you sir for your explaination
Very important review 👍🏼👋🏼👋🏼
Excellent information.
Thanks this helped me a lot as I’m getting an extra car soon and it was easy to follow 😄
In Asia we have 240 volt line supply in our homes ..do I need to buy step down device to charge rc batteries
I always like hard shell for abrasion resistance while in the vehicle. I always find rocks and dirt under the battery and like the hard shell for keeping the pack from wearing through to the batteries.
Very detailed explanation on the confusing aspects of lipo batteries. Great job!
just what I needed to know, Thank you
My esc is rated for 7,2 Volts, do you think 7,4V would do any damage?
What if you have a soft case battery and have an accident and the rock or whatever goes through the top of the car 🚗 🤔
very helpful,thanks slot
Great job
Nice, great explanation my guy!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Which one better i have moto 8.5T esc 120 so how bettery better?
i put a 3s lipo battery in my traxxas brushed 2s esc and its ran twice already and it's not blown up or any thing
Uhhhh kind of unrelated but I play guitar and was wondering what song the intro was 😂
Im getting my son into RC cars and just got him a little one that can flip upside down just while he learns. What i wanna know is can i get some longer lasting batteries?
Very clear to understand straight to the point
Best and most understandable explanation of this topic, thank you! I literally just did a mini marathon of videos on this topic and after watching yours, finally feel like I understand batteries better! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Good video
Thanks!
Very detailed explanation. Thanks alot
You did a amazing job of explaining. Made it extremely easy thanks!
WHY...do al the RC videos have MUSIC ???
This was an amazing video with great details! I learned a lot from this! Thanks!👍🏾
