hey guys. I'm looking at buying a Traxxas 1/16 Ken Block Rally VXL 4WD Brushless RTR Rally Racer w/TQ 2.4GHz 2-Channel Radio.

now i have 2x ez start wand batteries and 2x rx revo batteries for the revo, are the rx batteries the same as the ones that come with the 1/16 rally car? or are they the ez start wand batteris? as i already have the stock and 3000/3600mah batteries and would be sweet if i could use those for the "50mph" setup.

otherwise what are some good batteries? looking to buy from amainhobbies.

was thinking of getting one of these

traxxas 3s battery, one of these hits the 50mph

or should i go with something with more mah? will that give more power or just longer run times?

are there any links i can look up specifically for these traxxas cars for the electrical side of things. i have a 1/10 nitro revo and know that pretty well but need some knowledge on the electric stuff

The Traxxas batteries will give you about a 15-20 minute run time. The other batteries don't fit on the rig.
 
so even the rx batteries?

so will both these fit? and iv decided to go with the 1/16 e-revo brushless kit instead.

also looking at getting both of these so i can get the extra battery life from the 2 batteries and use the 3s for a power run

The Traxxas batteries will definitely fit the mERV. The NiMH should fit. The parallel connector can be run with any of the packs. The series connector can only be used with the NiMH packs.

I only run a single 3s LiPo and when it starts to tank, then I change out packs. The Y connector does work and will double the run time, but I like taking a break between the packs.
