can it take a 9.6v lipo without frying the gearbox?

I'm not sure. I've never used a lipo on my AEGs, but I wouldn't see why not. I guess it really all depends on the size of the battery, how you use it, and etc. etc.

unfortunately not... and its not your standard 9V connector either. your best bet is a 9V battery, this thing uses hardly any power and one lasts me a good long while

45/50ish, u need a 3s lipo,gear change and tires to do 70+. ur battery is weak point. go lipo.

I knowingly tried using a 9 volt battery with PWM, just for getting a project started, knowing I should get the 3 volt battery. I spun one of the gears right off the motor! Stick with 3 volts.

Put in two LiPo batteries in parallel and lower the gear ratio and you'll have all the speed and more power than you need. Go to your local RC dealer for the best advice. I would definitely invest in a Traxxas 6 amp battery charger.

If I remember correctly at 22.2 v on 6cell Lipo it generates 5.5hp. Hope that helps!

It's only rated at 3 volts, so not very high.I tried a 4.2 volt LiPo as V+ and it fried it.

Probably....i know the Tenergy 8.4v can be charged on just your stock airsoft battery wall charger, so I'm pretty sure the 9.6 can too (I use the tenergy smart charger for all my batteries now, never hooked up my 9.6 to a stock charger) just make sure to unplug it as soon as it starts getting warm.

Not if you use the appropriate charger. Good LiPo chargers monitor the voltage as they're charging the battery and will automatically cut off when full capacity is reached.

Best thing is to look at your manual or look it up online. If your motor isn't designed to handle 11.1 lipo then stay away from it.

We were using a motor shield and could run 3 motors with a 9 volt. They're supposed to be like 3.5v each, you can run it by just hooking it up to the 9v. Careful with too much current (amps), that's what will fry it.

Hi. You can use any regular 9-volt pedal power supply. You'd have to ask the folks at VOX why they don't supply one

Yes, you need to set the ESC to LiPo mode to avoid ruining the battery. Also, if you don't already have one, you need a LiPo compatible charger.

If the input is 9 volts and the output of the speed controller is still a Variable 1 to 9 volts then if you exceed the approximate 3 volt rating of the stock motor, you will burn the motor out. If you can regulate from 1 volt to 3 volts MAXIMUM voltage output, then you should be OK.

The Brushed Motor systems can only handle 2S LiPo's. You would have to go with the 71074-1 brushless e-Revo to get that speed!

No, you can only use the voltage required, or you will burn out the motor. I hope this helps. Good Luck

Probably not. I run a three cell lipo (11volt) in my slash, and it does 60mph. Stay with traxxas though. I had problems with other brands.
