How many batteries per vehicle do you have?

[Rainger40]

As my number of rc’s go up so do my number of batteries. I’m ready to order a couple more for my new exb build and saw that I’m getting quite the pile of lipos. I like to have at least two runs worth of packs for every rc I own just in case multiple are going at same time with wife/kids driving one too. Got me thinking some of y’all gotta have lipo mountains haha, so what’s your rule of thumb for your battery stashes?

At least 2 a piece...run one charge the other...obviously a little break due to motor temps but ya definitely at least 2 for each

I have 2 6s lipos for my Notorious, 2 3s for my Rustler, and 2 2s for my Bigfoot.

 

[Soppy]

I have 2 packs for my Kraton and 2 packs for my Drone. That's it.

I have 2 3s batteries for my talion and plan on getting more once I build my nero

 

[Monster Dork]

Generally I have 2 batteries per model. Maybe more accurate to type that I have 2 batteries per battery type, except for quad batts, of which I have a pile.

Just the one...

Hey,

Most of my cars are 1/10 so 2s packs for racing but for my typhon mega, I either get out my Y connector and stack 2 racing packs in serial, like a really big 1/10 saddle pack, or 1 of 2 4s packs which all give 14.8v and is good exercise for my racing lipos or, I whip out the single 6s 7000mah pack and rip up the tarmac and gravel only because things get a bit toasty on grass and the slipper is just about done.

Next purchase, 3s slipper, already got the pinions for it.

I now just have 2 3s for my 3s typhon and that’s it. Need to step up my lipo game. lol

Too many to keep track of. Three 50 cal cans full of packs. 8 rigs at the moment. Probably 40 lipos.

 

[Nelissuh]

2 x 6S for my Kraton EXB
2 x 4S for my UDR
1x 2S + 1x 3S for my Slashes (going to add 2x 3S soon)

Please tell me they are kept in the proper packaging and not in a pile in the corner

Aye, its a bit silly but I need to finish off this chassis so I have a reason to put the new one on!

I'll gaffer tape my mobile to it one day for some GPS speed runs, gaffer tape being much cheaper than a purpose designed speed meter

I have 1 vehicle (had two, sold one). My only car is a Typhon 3S with a set of Proline MX tires and a set of Proline MX28 tires. I currently have eight 3S batteries. I'll get a second vehicle soon, just waiting for the right one.

Maybe a Big Rock since it shares almost all parts with my Typhon.
Maybe the new Vortex (spelling?) when it gets announced.
Maybe one of the new 4S vehicles when they are announced. Hopefully they have a center diff instead of a slipper, and I'd increase the pinion size so that I can run it at 50mph on 3S.

I hate to say it, but I'm not a huge fan of the Arrma 6S line. The wing mounts are terrible, break too easily, and are hard to replace since they are load bearing and getting everything to line up is difficult. They aren't much faster than the 3S line out of the box. They are not tanks like the 3S line is. They have a ton more torque, but it just doesn't seem worth it to me. The 6S also don't handle as well as the 3S in my experience, and in the space my friends and I have at the park, the 3S is more fun since they are more agile.

Of all of the 6S, the Typhon interests me most, but I have a Typhon 3S already.

So for now.... 1 car, 8 batteries
