Battery Specs for 3600kv 2wd BLX

[sounDD]

I have an older 2wd BLX and am currently running the 2s 7.4v 5200mAh but know I can run a 3s battery. The motor is a 3600kv 4 pole and am looking at Zeee 3s batteries but wanted to get max performance and was thinking the 11.1v 8000mAh? I do have the male T connector coming off the motor and would need an adapter to connect to the EC5 plug on the Zeee battery. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated as I’m just getting into RC cars with my son. Thanks

Unless you want a broken car that you cannot use I would stick to 2s, those models didn't handle 3s very well and they were discontinued in 2017 so a lot of parts are no longer available.

Is it worth upgrading with newer parts to make it compatible with 3s or even 4s?

The cost to do it you do better buying a 3S here or deal elsewhere....

Thanks. Sounds like I’ll leave them car as-is for my son to use with the 2s batteries.

Could someone tell me if there is a high speed pinion gear for the 2wd blx and if so, does it have more or less teeth? Just trying to determine what my truck already has installed. Thanks
