Senton Need a bit of advice

[gillryan53]

Hello, I am just recently getting into RC and I will soon be buying a ARRMA 1/10 SENTON 4X4 V3 3S BLX, and I need some help finding what battery and charger to get. If anybody could please tell me, my ears are open, I have a budget of about $120 for a battery and charger.
Thank you!

I was given a venom duo charger which would be on the high end of your budget to allow getting a battery so i cant help there but... I really like the 6500 mAh battery I have from SMC which gives a longer run time than the standard 5000-5500. For the 5200 at $30, its hard to beat!

There are two threads in the Electronics forum that would be a great read for you:

You need to look at what the car comes with then buy the appropriate battery. If it’s an Arrma it will come with IC5 connectors which means it is compatible with IC5 and EC5 connectors

This isna really good charger for about 60$ it comes with a bunch of different connections for different plugs. If doesn't have the right one you can always get an adapter which is really cheap. I got goldbat 3s batteries 2 for 37$ on Amazon and they work great. I just got a senton 3s this past Saturday myself. Cheers and happy bashing!

I am using these and am pretty happy so far. Definitely get 3S with at least a 5000 mah rating and an EC5 connector as mentioned above https://www.amazon.com/HOOVO-Connec...ld=1&keywords=hoovo+ec5&qid=1617137195&sr=8-8
They also sell single batterys if you want to keep the price down.
