Outcast What battery for Outcast?

[RedGT]

Hello, I just bought my first Arrma rc car, I'm not sure what batteries to run. I seen on Arrmas website it says minimum 35c lipo. I have 2 3s 5000mah 20c lipos. Will it tear anything up if I put them in when I get my truck? Why is minimum 35c?

I would not use those batteries. The ESC will want to pull more juice than your batteries will give. This may cause the batteries to puff up, or worse, burn up. Also if you ever upgrade your servo, and you will, you may need a bit more juice, so by at least a 50C and at least 5000mAh.

I agree with @dpricenator. There was another thread on here some guy was running 25 or 30c batteries and caught them on fire.

@RedGT If you're looking for battery suggestions I'd recommend SMC batteries. Also check out the thread "What's your "budget" LiPo of choice?" for a lot more user suggestions.

I have had good luck with PowerHobbies brand batteries. 50-75C ratings. Reasonably priced.

I just bought a power hobby 6s 5200mah 50c. I had to request the XT90 plug. I message them on their ebay page and they said let them know what plug I wanted in the message to seller section and they'd take care of it. Good people and good batteries.

You can also buy directly from the PowerHobbies website and view the various plug styles available. You can frequently get discount coupon codes as well.
