Kraton Battery weight??

[ironhead79]

Have some SMC batteries all 3S, x2 7400mah 90c these combined weigh 2lb 3.9oz. Been running these with no I'll effects. I also have 2 3S SMC 10500man 90c with a combined weight of 3lb 0.6oz. Haven't used these yet, will the Kraton be able to handle this weight. I don't bash ever, this is my speed run car. Lmk what you think.

I can't really properly answer your question, but you are using the wrong truck for speed runs. I own both a Kraton and Typhon and I will tell you the Typhon would be the truck I would use for speed runs, not the kraton. Kraton is so much heavier.

I know the weight difference between the two, I've got a Typhon also. Right now the Kraton gets 88mph on 6s, just wondering if the difference in weight is more than acceptable ..

@bicketybam my tomahawk Kraton is my parking lot speed run machine It is built to do it though

I run graphene 6s bricks in it; they are heavy at listed 1298g (2.862 pounds).

Hey buddy, so these batteries will fit no problem into the v3? Do they need different connectors?

I run the 6000mah 65c versions. It is snug and they do fit without any modification. They do come with xt90 connectors preinstalled.

Sweet man!

How is your runtime?

 

[joostin420]

With this setup pretty much wide open on tarmac it is approximately 15-20min. The tp 4070cm 2200kv gearing 20/50 pinion/spur is a beast.

What kinda speed you getting??

I don’t have a gps, but it is fast! above 2/3 throttle and front end wants to lift This is my gearing:
