Kraton How many batteries are enough?

[arrmadillo]

I'd say 2 for each rig, but many can be crossed referenced. One 6s brick or two 3s lipos count as one.

I have two per car so as of now I have 8

I usually take enough to run each vehicle I bash 2-3 times. I have 4 that I bought specifically for my maxx, but they also fit in my outcast/kraton, so I charge up 6 or 8 of them as I usually take 2 trucks.

My ejato and slashpede 4x4 rarely makes it through 2 packs, so I only take 2 or 3 when I drive it. Same with my e-revo (but it runs pairs of packs, so I take 4 or 6). If I make it through 2 packs with any of those, I consider it a successful day and if I have a 3rd pack (or pair), I will use it if I have any energy left to wander around for another 20 minutes.

Anyway, I'd say a minimum of however many packs it takes to run a single truck 3-4 times. If you have multiple trucks that you take, then usually a couple runs with each is enough for me.

Who said we need to tell them?

In all seriousness, I don't play games with hazardous material. It's probably due to my 19 years of experience in the US Navy.

ya, I was just playin. lipo's are dangerous but anything happening is rare. Domestic lipo shipping is no problem but international there are fees and other things

Good call!

They real question is how many dischargers do you have?

I have 10 batteries for one car, 4x2 3s and 2x 4s batteries

What if you go out and break your car on your first pull of the trigger? Then you have a huge discharge problem on your hands

But now I have 2x 200watt dischargers, so I'm fearless lol

That question really depends on how long your RC car sessions are. Think about how long you want each session to be then buy batteries accordingly. On my Kraton EXB I’m running two power hobby 6500mAH 100C and with normal fashion not too many full throttle runs I could easily get about 45 minutes to an hour.

1 keeps me from breaking/overheating too often

 

[Adiabatic]

At least two, or two sets if running cars that take multiple batteries. Three seems best if field charging, as you can have a running - cooling - charging cycle going.

Con 2 de 6750 mh tendrás bastante para una buena sesión

I agree, two big batteries are fine because you can charge one while using the other and keep going basically forever...

I usually go for 1 pack a rig, 45ish minutes a day is enough for me Unless I go out to the park or have a longer bash session, then I might take 2
