Any run or try the Spektrum Smart LiPo battery14.8v 5000 mAh 4S 30C with Spektrum Smart charger? Is the 30C going to be enough for new 2019 Arrma vechicles?
Thinking of purchasing Spektrum battery & charger with a 2019 Arrma. Thoughts?
Minimum recommended ‘C’ rating is still 35C. The Esc and motor remain the same as the v3.
So these new Spektrum 30c battery are junk? Need to wait until Spektrum ups thete C rating?
Why did they switch the connectors? I just finally converted from deans plugs. It's like planned obsolencense .
It's a Horizon Hobby thing. They have to push their brands, so it was inevitable that something on the new trucks had to change. I'm happy that they left the motor and esc alone...............for now.Yeah, can’t say I’m happy with the change.

I'm told NOT to buy these for my Kraton, they are 6s 20C continuous, 40C burst. 5000mAh. $45US. Has anyone ever seen a chart or measured, the power draw of these BLX systems? Please give me your thoughts?So these new Spektrum 30c battery are junk? Need to wait until Spektrum ups thete C rating?

Thanks for pointing out the 35C in the manual, I missed that, it was under the blx section (pg19) not the battery section. but it doesn't say continuous or peak. As for warranty, you can't hurt an RC by running a battery with two low of a C rating.. you can hurt your performance, the battery could heat up, but my crappy battery isn't! and the car goes like He double hockey stick! so I am wondering if more is really needed.I haven’t seen a power draw chart, however the manual is clear, minimum 5000mah, 35C.
If you choose to disregard the manufacturer instructions you should expect to encounter issues that will not be supported under warranty. It’s upto you if you think the risk is worth it.

I was given a battery when I bought my used V2. It's a 6s 2900mAh 30C continuous = 87Amp and it doesn't even get warm.
My background is planes and racing quads. with my quads.. those batteries got hot! too hot to touch after a hard run. Batteries are dead in under 3 minutes when racing. Very fast discharge rate. Never had one explode or catch fire.. you just set them to the side let them cool for 10min then charge them up and go again. this is why I was thinking a 20C continuous / 40C peak might be ok. but I don't want to hurt the potential of the car, for an extra $30 I can get a 50C, ahh. money money money
Good info Jeremy ,Steveo from Wl.
