Man that's why this is such a cool site
Looks like I'm gonna shoot for the 2400 kv motor esc as I'll be mainly running it on 3s
I had been looking at 1/8 scale stuff
That hobbywing is right on track with my wallet
Thanks so much
Sadly I'm like 40 bucks short on the digital keeping me from ordering it today lol

You don't want anything less than a 550/3360 size motor that's for sure. I think that's a most excellent choice for running 3S packs on the 2.o platform. Your electronics will be thanking you for it. Everything should run cooler. Almost makes me want to get that 2400kv G3 motor, but my goals are a bit different than yours.
 
Not my 2.0, but I like this dude's 4268 size motor idea...

I tried to get an update from the person that did this, but no luck.

I don't like the idea of running 4S though. Putting, or trying to put, 4S power down in the SCT platform is over the top in my book. If I were to do a 4268 typical sized 1/8 scale buggy motor install in my SCT410 2.0, I'd find something in the 2400kv~2600kv range for 3S usage in hopes of it being more efficient for longer mid summer sessions. I ran a Castle 1512 2650kv motor in my 1/8 scale buggy for years on 3S (4S was crazy) and was perfect.

Continue onward. Good, or bad, I wait for your thoughts on your new ride.
 
Yeah, for me that would be way too much in an SCT. Although significantly lighter, my 4WD Slash is super-quick on 3s, speed that's only usable on a large course, IMO. I run it mostly on 2S for that reason.

would this be a good battery? @TeknoJ reminded me i need a non crawler dedicated battery for this truck, it SEEMS to me to be acceptable, but id like to get a good battery rather than just acceptable lol

Yeah just in case your crawler battery has a lower C rating.
That is a big fat battery! You will have ask the 2.0 guys what will fit. @RustyUs and @islandlife have them. That is a good battery though 👍🏻
 
Battery tray will accept normal size brick/stick LiPo packs. Tray dimensions: 140x48mm.

I don't think a person will have issues securing a 3S pack with included battery strap.
There is quite a bit Velcro left while using a 2S pack...

There is an optional TKR9019 that is used on the 1/8 scale buggies/truggies and will fit a 4S LiPo if a person runs into an issue.

I would have no qualms in ordering/trying out the Turnigy 140C pack that TS (thread starter) linked.

The Turnigy Rapid pack is overpriced and was the least performing lipo of all the Turnigy Lipos I tested. Id just get a regular turnigy pack, They tested the best out of the Turnigy packs. Also Zippy compact, Liperior, Liperior Pro, CNHL G+ are also good LiPos.

I really dont understand why people keep asking for battery suggestions instead of just referring to the results of all the battery testing I've done or why no one suggests that people look at it.

If you do grab that battery, or whatever 3S pack you choose, please stop back and give an update. I'd like to know what kind of run times you get with whatever your selected ESC/motor combo is. :thumbs-up: :cool:

I always think about suggesting this, and when I got to search for the link I get side tracked and forget. 🤣

I wish I could help out with sending you a couple hundred same LiPo packs of each and every pack that you tested. It would be interesting to see results.

Certain RCs, servos, radios, ESCs... etc., etc.... in every price point... One week, a person's "two thumbs up" go-to brand suddenly becomes another person's "what the damn junk is this ____" blacklisted brand the next week.

RCTalk.com... two thumbs up.;):cool:

Because often when I go to look at it it denies permission
As well as it's a lot of raw data that's difficult to understand at times simply because I don't have the knowledge to use that information correctly
I've read the linked page a few times when able and still am afraid of making the wrong choice as I have a difficult time understanding mah and c in relation to a battery that is being used differently than any I've used before
So before I make a decision I often like yo defer to the knowledgeable group that's here and tend to ask to double check before making a pur case rather than making the purchase then reading 40 posts about how I messed up and should have gotten something else

Thanks for the info in the rapid pack tho I do appreciate that and will look at a different pack based on this

I have tested multiples of some of the batteries on the list just to get a concensus about certain more popular batteries. I just wish I could test them faster lol.

I wasn't really aiming that comment at you in particular. The main point that people want to look for is the "voltage under load" (VUL) The higher that number is the better the lipo is. The rest of the data on there is really more just for the sake of knowledge than anything. doesn't really matter what the true mAh or true C rating is. If the battery has a high VUL it will have a good C & mAh rating by default because those are all interdependant on each other. Or in other words if a batteries C rating and mah rating are garbage the VUL will be garbage also. All you have to do is look at the VUL chart in my post and it has what batteries performed better than the others in decending order. If a lipo on the list is higher than another then that lipo is better. The chart that is listed as Ill go back and edit my thread and try to explain that better to folks.

If anyone ever has any issues accessing or understanding any thing in that thread please let me know so I can fix it or help someone understand the data. :)

When I open the Lipo Shootout VUL chart, I get no headers for the columns... row 1 is blank. Is that an issue with my PC, or something else?

Forget you ever saw the picture of my 2.0 in an earlier post I made... apparently, I bought the worst LiPo series on the planet 😆 🤷‍♂️ ;).
It's all good.

Yeah, I am waiting on an Amazon order that I placed almost 2 weeks ago. After no shipment for a week, it made it to my home town, then turned around and went back to Kentucky after just coming from there. I guess the USPS folks in Kentucky didn't get to play with my package enough.
