Review: Wow what a up grade!!!! - I have a Traxxas Slash 4X4 ultimate edition that came with a Traxxas 4 series 8.4 volt 7 cell 4200 mah battery that runs the heck out of my Traxxas for a good 35-45 minutes of pretty fast and steady driving up to around 30-40 MPH before it starts to run noticeably slower and with less power. I was a bit worried to move up to and try this Traxxas 11 volt 3S Lipo Battery. So I called Traxxas and talked to one of their reps just to make sure it wouldn't destroy the Traxxas and he said as long as I keep an eye on the temperatures it should be just fine but will produce more wear on the Traxxas over time. So anyways the battery arrived, I charged it with the Traxxas 2933 EZ charger and it was charges in a little over a hour. The battery fits right in the battery compartment with no issues at all and without needing to be altered. Wholly crap!!! I thought my Traxxas was fast before! It was so fast and had so much power that it was popping wheelies and the front end was raising off the ground if I gave it too much throttle on take off. The Traxxas has to at least be doing 55+ MPH and I cant even pull the throttle all the way down, I have to ease into it and I know if I give it all the throttle the front will raise up catch wind under the body and it will do a back flip. I couldn't believe changing something as simple as a battery could have such a effect. After running the Traxxas hard for around 30 minutes I checked the temps and they didn't feel any hotter than when running the battery that came with the Traxxas and I didn't notice a lack or loss of power in the battery I have yet to run it low and the low lipo sensor didn't come on so it must have still had plenty of juice left. Although the ecu and engine heated up as usual the battery was barley even warm. I think this battery would be great for racing or showing the power of the Traxxas or R.C car but just messing around and off roading Ill stick with the battery it came with or a 2S Traxxas Lipo I bought. Those two batteries are more than enough for me till I can get my experience level up. But as for this battery if you are very experienced and like to flex your R.C muscle I highly recommend this battery.
Review: Updated Review - Good Batteries- Excellent Assistance from Vendor - One of the batteries delivered was defective. It took a while to get the issue resolved, as mentioned in my earlier review, but once I got a chance to speak to the vendor, Dollar Hobbyz, about the cost of returning the item to TRAXXAS for replacement, they resolved the matter promptly, and to my full satisfaction. The defective battery was replaced by TRAXXAS directly, and the vendor reimbursed me for the expense of shipping the item back to the manufacturer. Their customer service turned out to be first rate after all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What 25C means?**
A: As best I understand it, it's the continuous discharge rate the battery can handle: 30C x 5000mAh (5Ah) = 150A discharge rate. So for the same 5000mAh battery, a 50C battery is rated at 250A discharge rate (see your ESC specifications to see the amp rating it is designed to handle). I have three of the 25C 7.4V SPC 5000mAh batteries and I've been very pleased with them. I only bash, have never raced. I've been wondering a little, though, if I would see more benefit from buying a new battery that is 2S 50C or a 3S 25C... really don't know.

**Q: Will it fin in a traxxas rustler?**
A: The 2872 is too long to fit in a standard Rustler chassis, but 5 minutes with a Dremel tool and it fits perfectly.  There's an open chamber underneath the electronic speed control (esc) mount, and you need to cut out the front wall of that chamber. It's a very quick process with a Dremel tool (using a cutoff wheel and a sanding drum), and there isn't any drawback with removing it. That chamber wall helps hold in place the shorter NiMH batteries, but even without it the NiMH battery didn't seem to move around much.My son's rustler is scary fast with the new battery and he loves it.  Good luck.

**Q: Can I use this on a brushed E-Maxx 3903?**
A: I wouldn't run a 3S on this RC unless I have an extra motor. Is too much power for a brushed motor. You can use a 2S. And you are still running a thing line with a brushed system. I burnt mine with a 2S after a few runs

**Q: Will this battery work with raxxas 7407 1/10 Rally Car Brushless with Velineon VXL-3s Electronic Speed Control???
And I need a charger advice for it!**
A: I went to the Traxxas website and found my RC car product chart.  They specify the batteries that work on your vehicle.  I bought this one for our Stampede 4x4.  I recommend the Traxxas battery charger, as it has all the charging functions for this type of LiPo batteries, in addition to other battery types too,  and it was affordable.

Give extra punch on my trx4, last longer than my older 2200 battery, a bit expensive but works well with traxxas charger, it take like 3-4 hours to full charge
