Battery

Does someone make an upgrade for the battery pack that powers the servos on the revo? I'm on my second one and it's losing charge fast. I still have the stock servos so that could be the problem also?

What are you using?
You should have a 5 cell hump pack. The higher the mAH the better.

Yes it's a 5 cell 1100mAH. Traxxas brand.

Hard to find anything worse than 1100.
How old is it? Is it NiCad or NiMH?

You can run for days on this one...

for around $25 you can upgrade to a life battery ,I put one in my revo and it holds charge for many months unlike a lipo battery and you don't need a regulator as most receiver will cope with 6-7v no worries.

LiFe batteries are great, but need a charger that can handle them.
