Help with battery choice for Mini

[Michaeli]

Hi all

Some of you may remmber me from a few years ago, Michael Isaac's. some of you may not. Well i managed to pick up a bargin mini and though i would give it ago again.

But the battery i have with it, 1300Mah nicad, is ok but i dont think it will last 5 mins racing so im looking at getting a new one.

Any ideas on what to get and keeping to a buget.

I have seen the Core rc lipo 3000mah 20c for about £26 and was wondering if these are any good.

Just so you know im running a 27 turn brushed motor so im looking for a battery to go with that etc.

Hope to see you all this friday if i can get a battery by then

Many thanks Michael

Hi Michael, the Core RC Lipo will work just fine in a mini with a 27T. Just bear in mind that you will need a charger capable of charging Lipos (if you haven't already got one). It is also recommended that, if you don't have a Lipo-compatible esc, that you run a low-voltage cutout (or make sure that you don't completely discharge the Lipo beyond 6v).

I have a set of 3700 Nimhs you are welcome to borrow on friday if you can't get anything sorted - just pm me before tomorrow night and I will put them on charge.

I'd try these. Never had them before so dont know what they are like but they look like they are good.
