Great video. Great job putting the information together. Both Arma and Traxxas have thier own proprietary batterey setups snd chargers. Good for thier marketing that consumers second and third car they will stay within thier own brand. Some controversy and something for the end consumer to think about and fo thier own research before purchasing.

The 3s 6800 are gonna be sick. I run a 4082 1700kv on 6s 5000 in a Talion. I get about 12-15 minutes of med/hard driving
The 6800 should equal 38% more run time with more punch & a warranty. I will be picking a set up. Great video like usual.

Woould the 10, 000 fit in the KRATON 8S ?

[nsbob]

Getting older now and having always been a nitro guy, am now buying and even converting, some of my older buggies and truggies (Losi 8, B and T) to electric, am stunned by the power and longevity of the new battery technology (Which actually not too new, have some older Thunder Tiger 3S 1, 120 MAH packs I used to use in my Zoom- Shogun heli, with no balance leads, that STILL take and hold a charge from almost 20 years ago now!) I had a Spektrum battery, which I'm convinced was the demise of 2 of my Spektrum smart chargers. The battery made the chargers bring up weird error codes, and by the way, this was no gigantic battery it was a tiny little 300 MAH, 2S pack for my little Blade heli. When I hooked it up, smoke literally came from the battery, and the charger stopped working, another one sort of still worked, charged the battery for about 1 minute, then went to "Ready" status. (this was a different battery now) HH customer support was AWESOME and replaced both my chargers, so I must give them serious kudos there. So far, other than that little issue, which, really, was a pretty major issue, I have been super impressed with the power and longevity of these batteries. Been using the 3S 5, 000 Mah packs for my cars, and also the 4S, 5, 000 Mah packs for 1/8 th buggies and truggy, and am super impressed by the on demand, at speed, wheelie pulling power they offer. NEVER saw that kind of power with a nitro engine.
I'm not really a fan of the proprietary stuff though. Wasn't too long ago I invested in a nice Hitek 4 channel charger, mad a million different pigtails, and was happy with my "I can charge any battery under the sun" status. I can still charge my older G-1 Spektrum packs with the balance leads, and I'm seriously on the fence about switching to the convenience of the G2 battery BUT, losing that balance lead makes me rely on chargers that, well, I aint had the best of luck with. I also like to check voltages and battery power with a small meter that you plug the balance leads in to, just to make sure a battery is either ready to go, or needs a charge, which we can't do with no balance plug unless we hook it up to the charger. No balance plug is nice, BUT, It's almost a necessary evil in my opinion. Love the ease and convenience of no plug, but do miss it on the couple G2 batteries I do have. Either way folks, in the end, it's all about the smiles we get when we see our little cars go flying past us at ridiculous speeds these days. Whichever platform you like, are faithful to, or swear by, have fun!

I’m excited for these BUT for something “designed for arrma vehicles” I’m surprised at how inconsistent / poor the fit was when you tried squeezing the packs into the Typhon etc. I hope they publish an official compatibility table as it seems like tolerances are going to be more specific than any measurements I take of my vehicles

[joeytravis]

What is the biggest 4s battery that will fit I can use in the arrma kraton 4s v2.5

[Shields]

Would that 10000mAh 4s pack fit in stock xmaxx tray?

[ajsrc]

I got me some of those for my Kraton EXB

[Ak_Colin]

Just for people thinking about buying the 6800 4s and you have a outcast v2.5 it is not a direct fit but you have make it fit with some trimming

[RobertoOrtis]

Is it ok and safe to use the 4s 6800 in the Arrma typhoon TLR?

[brianmacbrianmac]

I just ordered a Kraton 6s exb V2. Do I have to use Spectrum for the battery voltage to show up on the transmitter? If not is there a battery you recommend over Spektrum?

[karlsonmackay]

What’s the biggest 4S size Lipo that will fit in a Kraton 4S?

[djjd]

Will that huge 4s battery fit in the arrma mojave 4s? If so would you be willing to make a video of its run time at 100% throttle? Please 🙏🏾 i would extremely appreciate it!!!!

[smallscalemotoring]

No balance lead is a deal breaker. Spektrum is being exclusionary. Oh well.

[frankieguevara]

Will the 6800 3s fit in the arrma granite?

[danielvega]

Really cool batteries I would really like to see if it fits SBR 2.0...? 👍

[jennyetherington]

Great Video, the Spektrum range is definitely above anything else in the market. The Smart charging is definitely the way to go. I've just bought a Typhon 3s and a TLR TUNED so may invest next year in a charger and batteries after seeing this

[DEATH]

I’m a Spektrum fan always. I’m glad they upgraded their batteries. That 5000mah wasn’t it

[kodymosley]

Will the 10, 000mah fit the Losi dbxle? What's the name of the battery charger do I need to buy?

[sergebastion]

Just bought a new Outcast 8S. Would you recommend the Skektrum 14.8V 6800mAH 4S 120C G2 Pro Basher Lipo batteries to compliment this truck?
