RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - E Revo Lipo Options Best Bang for the Buck

Hey Sike...

I have been pondering the erevo lipo issue myself.

My current motor esc combo is a 1515 1.5d with a MMM. I run 4s lipo. Currently using trakpower packs, they are 2s 4900 25c packs, and I run 2 in series.

Now I do have some flightpower 3700 4s 25c lipos. They just fit the compartment if you take the leaf spring out. So I now have (with those 4s packs in parrellel) 7400 mah, 185 amps cont. But it is a bit heavy...

The trakpower packs were getting a bit warm, I think the 1.5d and my gearing, 19/50 mod 1, were pulling more than those batts could provide.

I think a pair of enerland 6000 2s 25c lipos would be the hot ticket for a low weight 4s setup.

For 6s I would run a pair of enerland 4500 3s 30c packs. I have not tried to fit them yet, but can try tomorrow. My other erevo will run a hacker c50 11xl, and I plan to run 6s with that motor.

Not sure what to do for 5s... Maybe a 2s and 3s packs split between the compartments. Probably best to stick with 6s...
