This is a qusetion About RC car power

[RedSun]

I'm a newbie on RC car, I'm short for knowledge about RC. Especial the power, I don't know how to choose a best battery for my car, even though I don't know which one is a good Rc battery. Many people told me to choose 6s lipo battery, 5s lipo battery... I don't know what's the mean of the 6s lipo or 5s lipo ,I only allow their advice.So I bought a 6s lipo battery (http://www.genstattu.com/6s-22-2-v-lipo-battery.html) on Tattu, the battery's Description label shows：“Gens ace 7000mAh 22.2V 60C 6S1P HardCase Lipo Battery Pack” What's the mean of 7000mAh? 60C ? 6s 1P?

Hi,

first of all never buy a lipo without being sure what are you buying.

7000mAh is the capacity of the battery, the higher the longer run time.
60C is the discharge capability of the lipo. C is the capacity, so in that case is 60*7A=420A
6s1p that is how the lipo is built, you have 6 elements on serie and only one on parallel. 6s is what give you the total voltage of the lipo, in this case 6s = 6*3.7v= 22.2 volts.

Important think is to know if your speedo and motor are built for 6s, if not you are going to burn them.

Best regards
Javier

The most important question is...what car are you running..?
Most RC cars run 2s Lipos 7.4v..... 6 cell is way beyond most model cars unless pretty large scale..
