For batteries I have been running these https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy...-monster-beatle-sct-buggy.html?___store=en_us change the esc to XT60s and be done with it. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/xt60u-xt60-upgrade-male-female-5-pieces-each.html?___store=en_usAlright for a smaller RC I've gone back and forth between Traxxas, LC, Tacon, Dromida, Team Associated and I think I've settled on the Tacon Soar. I've been reading that you can use 2s and 3s Lipo batteries but every time I click the suggested link for the battery the links no longer work. What type of 2s battery should I be looking for? What kind of connector will I need? I see on ebay they sell the banana to XT60 adapter that is mentioned a lot but wondering what other connectors would work/could be better? Also, looking at the NitroRCx website it seems like none of the Tacon parts are in stock??? I will probably want to buy some upgrades for this thing but not sure where to look yet.
If you want to run these batteries https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-2200mah-2s-40c-lipo-pack-1.html?___store=en_us you will need to remove the stock battery strap then get one of these in the medium size then and trim down to fit I would also pick up some of their Velcro and put it on the batteries so they stick to the mount http://puretechproducts.com/product/xtreme-quick-mounts/
Parts can be found here http://casterracingmi.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=171 they also have a few battery options.
For upgrades get the T-bone front bumper and rear skid plate, the LC Racing carbon fiber center brace, as the stock plastic one is kinda meh, and if you want the LC Racing carbon fiber shock towers, aluminum c hubs, axle carriers and bellcrank. Trust me when I tell you this buy the brushless model right off the bat, do not waste your money on the brushed model.
This thread on Rctech has tons and tons of information on the LC Racing/Tacon vehicles. https://www.rctech.net/forum/micro-mini-scales/681066-lc-racing-emb-1h-official-thread.html
Here is a link to my build thread. https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/idk-what-i-want.7478/page-2#post-75408
These are super cheap to convert into a different vehicle, it cost me like $30 to change my MT into a Buggy.
And a pic to show how I mounted the Puretech RC Extreme quick mount.
