The battery tray can fit up to 71mm I think. but because of the body you can only fit 51mm. So a lot of batteries over 5000mah you will have trouble getting the body on if at all. The other 6s models don't have this issue. They have more battery clearance.Well, the batteries fit into the battery tray, but at top of each other. If I try to put on the body, it doesn't fit because the battery stack is too high.
But thank you for willing to help!

Yes, i know, I can put the battery slider completely up, but then the body won't fit. ? A bit disappointing.....
The batteries you have aren't suited to your Typhon. If the shop knew they were for a 6s Typhon then I'd take that up with the shop.
punch will not make a huge difference. For 3s, what you want to change is the gearing. The lowest voltage you run the higher gearing you want - to compensate for the lack of speed.But now, I have another question. So I run BLX185 on a single 3s now. Is it possible to tune the punch? Or will it draw too many amps then?
My batteries are RCR RACING lipo, 3s, 50C, 5400 mAh

On 6s maybe. It’s ok on 3s.
Also note that the high speed pinion on the v4 is 20t, which is indeed high. But the v3 comes with 16t I think. Which most people here run something similar if not higher even on 6s anyway.
Check the temps. I don’t think it will be an issue.
I meant the high speed gear is 16t on the v3 (which was over conservative) but 20t on the v4. Which only proves how conservative was the v3. As the car didn’t really change.The v3 standard has a 14t pinion, but I fo want to bash my car more than doing speedruns
6S alllll the way!!!! If this was Traxxas(plastic fantastic) then yeah stay save with 3s or 4s.
But please make sure to have a wide open space if this is the first time.
I'm consider myself not a rookie anymore but yeah.... let the pictures speak for themselves.
Yup, but the thing is, at first I ordered a 3s Typhon but that wasn't in stock anymore (for about 3 months). So I ordered an 6s Typhon. But the batteries I ordered (with the intent to put them in the 3s Typhon) were two 3s lipo's. They would fit in the 6s. A week later I got a phone call, telling me that the batteries I ordered also weren't in stock anymore. So they sent me bigger ones, and I asked would they both fit in my 6s at the same time? And they said yes, turns out they don't... ☹
But I think 6s would be too fast for the areas i drive in, so it's fine. But i do want to buy another 4s.
That local store in Kaatsheuvel isn't so great with advice unfortunately.
Also been there to buy an typhon but the just want to sell traxxas...
Also give the wrong advice about chargers and stuff ,they just want to sell in my opinion.
By the way, enjoy your 6s ! There great !
I'm already willing to go faster, Haha ?
You're called 'Typhon6smax', I'd certainly hope so!
Haha, i have seen your thread, you said you hit a wall? ?
