Notorious What battery are you running in your Notorious?

[ScaleJunkie]

What's up, going to order all this at the same time hopefully. What batteries (not brands but C ratings and capacity, and cell counts/ configurations) is everone running in these.

I'm running 7600 mah traxxas 2 cells X 2 in my notorious C rating is something like 25C sustained 50C burst.

I run a SMC 7400mAh 6S. Has done well for me.

@ScaleJunkie as per the Notorious user manual you should use a LiPo battery that has at least a 35C rating or higher.

In reality the higher the better given that many battery manufactures will fudge on the numbers and use it more as a marketing thing anymore.

Thanks, i saw that also.

Ooo I like that. What kinda run times do you normally get with that?

Not sure I've ever ran it down very far. Usually only to around 3.7-3.8 per cell. I end up wanting to drive my other trucks too.

Definitely well over half an hour of bashing.

Does the Notorious come with the "loop connector"? It doesn't say it does on amain, and every unboxing I've seen nobody ever opens the bag of goodies.

Yes it does. If you look at Arrma's website it lists what is included.

not in a notorious but I have the same battery tray in my Kraton and I like to run 2 3s 3000mah turnigy graphene batteries. 75c rating. The packs are light and in a basher it is better to me to have a few different packs instead of running a giant mah setup.

Forgive my ignorance, I'm a greenie, what are the benefits of graphene other than being lighter?

The graphene batteries I have are way heavier than regular batteries. And they pack a lot of punch, which is why I bought them. By far my most powerful 3s batteries.

 

[stuartd]

I use 2 x gensacearespammers 5200/40C or a Turnigy HD 5000/60C or a gensacearespammers 4500/60C.
The Turnigy is a tight fit, but squeezes in.

Graphene is the future in battery tech. Helps charge time, up to 15x faster. Did not do this testing my self, just did some searching into the tech. It is a money thing right now but I think we will see it hit cell phones soon. Its a amazing material. Samsung is really doing a lot of r&d into it right now.

Read this thread in the morning. https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/read-some-useful-info-from-smc.10748/#post-119999
Interesting note about whether to run two 3s or one 6s battery. It's in the link in the first post.
I'm currently running two gensacearespammers 3s 50c 5000 mAh myself. First pair were purchased in Dec 2017 and I bought a second pair when I got my Arrma last November. I think this combination works well for decent power and good run times. I strictly bash for fun, so my demands aren't that high. Got about 20 minutes per pair on Saturday. I was blasting through snow and pinning it to get speed on short approaches for jumping.

I run dual SMC 2S 7400mah 90C packs in my outcast with 15T pinion and trencher 3.8's. At the skate park, I get 23-24 minutes, at the park, 18-19 minutes. I time every run. My remote has a timer on it and I'm pretty religious about using it.

Ok, so I've just got my notorious!! Whooopp whooopp now.... I've come to thinking that surely the higher the C rating the less run time you're going to get would i be correct in thinking this? As your motor can pull more power from the battery or am i just clutching at straws?

Here is a picture of me picking up my noto ??
