How many volts can my RC car handle?

The most common configurations are 2-cell, 7.4-volt packs (2 x 3.7 = 7.4) and 3-cell, 11.1V packs. Depending on your model and how much voltage it can handle, you may even be able to use 4, 5, or 6-cell packs—again, check those power-system specs!

Can I put a higher mAh battery in my RC car?

Yep. Go for the 3000mah. Just means a longer run. "mAh" is the capacity of the battery.

Can I use a 7.2 V battery instead of 7.4 V?

Should be fine. 7.2v is a typical voltage. Batteries always vary as they are charged/discharged and it vary quite a lot so a little 0.2v is nothing. Re: 7.2v vs 7.4v .

Is it OK to use higher voltage battery?

Yes. Higher capacity (measured in mAh) means that for the same use, the battery will last longer. It should not have any other effect (assuming the circuit does not rely on the battery's internal resistance).

How can I make my 9.6 V RC car faster?

Can an RC Car hit 100,000 (scale) Miles?

How big of a battery can I put in my RC car?

The most common configurations are 2-cell, 7.4-volt packs (2 x 3.7 = 7.4) and 3-cell, 11.1V packs. Depending on your model and how much voltage it can handle, you may even be able to use 4, 5, or 6-cell packs—again, check those power-system specs!

Can I use a 11.1 V battery instead of 10.8 V?

So a battery specified as 10.8V is almost certainly exactly the same voltage as as one specified as 11.1V - & in any case if they were actually different voltages the difference is only 3% which would not be a problem. EDIT the nominal voltage of one Lithium ion cell is 3.6V, but sometimes 3.7V is used.

Does higher mAh make RC car faster?

If your battery Ah*C is higher than the amps that your ESC/Motor can pull then going with a bigger battery will probably not produce any differences. There would be a tiny difference in voltage drop over time which would probably have a minimal effect in overall speed.

What amp should I charge my RC battery?

As a general rule, you should charge your batteries a current of 1C. So, for a 2200 mAh capacity battery, the charge rate should be 2.2 Amps and for a 1700 mAh capacity battery, the charge rate should be 1.7 Amps.

Can I use LiPo batteries instead of NiMH RC car?

Most people will eventually upgrade to LiPo after getting used to running their RC car or buggy on a NiMH battery. The main attractions to LiPo batteries are more speed, more “punch” off the line and more consistent power during the duration of the run compared to NiMH batteries.

What is better LiPo or NiMH?

The weight/power ratio in LiPo batteries is significantly better. LiPo batteries are noticeably lighter and they can store the same amount or more energy relative to their capacity than NiMH batteries. The power output of LiPo batteries is greater in quality and quantity.

Can you run a LiPo battery on a brushed motor?

So if you need to or want to run brushed motors with LiPo's, feel free to, it won't hurt anything(just remember to follow the basic rules to using LiPo's, especially about not overdischarging them, they REALLY don't like that).....

Can I replace a 300mah battery with a 600 mAh battery?

You can replace your battery with a slightly different mAh capacity, as long as it is the same voltage; we would recommend choosing your replacement batteries with the nearest possible mAh rating. It is not recommended to replace your batteries with a much higher mAh capacity.

What happens if I use a higher mAh battery?

Q: Can I use a higher rated mAh battery in my electronic device (i.e. 1800mAh vs. 2000mAh)? A: Yes, the mAh rating will give you longer run times between recharges. The higher rated mAh of a battery has no effect on electronic devices other than they allow longer term use.

What is the difference between 1500mah and 3000mAh?

1500 mah vs 3000mah - RC Groups. Twice as much capacity means twice as much available fuel however it also means twice the weight. If both batteries are the same C rating then the 3000 should maintain more volts under load which meand more RPM ,more watts ,more power.

What does C mean in RC batteries?

The C rating for a LiPo battery, quite simply, refers to the capacity of energy the battery can safely discharge, represented as a multiple of its overall capacity. A battery that has a higher C rating delivers more energy, and that means higher performance.

How can I make my brushed motor faster?

Sealed endbell motors need a lot of running to break in their hard compound brushes. Running it partially submerged in water helps break them in faster. Water dipping is a trick old-school guys used to break in their motors, but it would also help clean your brushed motors.

Can I replace 14.8 V battery with 11.1 V battery?

Dignified. You should only use the correct battery pack. A low voltage pack will not run the laptop near as long as the correct voltage. You will also find that charging a 14.8V pack with a 19V charger can cause the battery pack to explode.

What is the voltage of a laptop battery?

Also, the typical voltage for a battery is 11.1V or 14.8V depending upon the numbers of cells. The risk that 14.8V won't work on your laptop is extremely small. Your laptop supports: 71 Wh, 4800 mAh (8-cell) Li-ion battery pack.

Can I replace my laptop battery with a higher mAh?

Yes, its safe as long as its output voltage & current values are same.

How do you make a cheap RC car go faster?

What is the fastest brushless RC motor?

“The Traxxas XO-1 is the fastest RC car, full stop. The largest brushless motor on offer propels the car from 1 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. Not only is this car stylish, but it also reaches speeds over 100 miles per hour.”

Can I use a lithium ion battery in my RC car?

RC lithium ion batteries are meant for radio controlled cars, planes, UAVs, quad copters, etc.
