I bought this toy specially cos gets 60mph. is that enoght with this batettery? Traxxas 25C 7.4V 2S 2-Cell 5800mAh LiPo Battery Pack

No. You will need a 3 cell lipo battery. You will also need to start upgrading parts as a 3 cell will start breaking stock parts.
1762288
It won't go 60mph on the standard motor and a 2s lipo. The best you'll get on the standard motor with a 2s is about 35 and a 3s will get you around 45. Both are very fast though. Go to the traxxas website and they will give you the breakdown of the batteries and what speeds you can obtain with each.
1762289
Yes, it MAY do 60mph with this battery if you change the pinion gear that came with the unit.But, it is hard even at 20-30mph to keep this in straight travel.

Not even close. Go to Traxxas.com website -> forums. You'll find out your answers. WAY TOO MUCH info to cover here.
1762291
The difference in batteries is some get slower but continue to wind down....the others give you top speed until they stop.....speed of the truck is determined by which pinion gear you run in the rearend (comes w different choices.....and the setting you choose on the remote... ( beginner setting allows 50%.
1762292
No. You will need a 3s battery and a different pinion to achieve those speeds. You can expect roughly half that with the current setup.

I have this battery and I use the Traxxas 2933 6amp lipo charger. Easy to use and charges battery in about 45 minutes.

The battery provided with the Stampede lasts 30 minutes or so if the truck is driven on a paved surface. If used " off road", the battery life is noticeably less. If a higher capacity battery is desired, the Racer's Edge NiMH 5000 mAh , 8.4 volt hump pack with TRX plug gives a very long runtime. Keep in mind that the longer the truck runs on a charge, the hotter the various electrical components can get without a cool down period. All other thing being the equal, speed comes from battery voltage, runtime comes from the mAh rating of the battery. MAh is milliamp/hour, power over time. So the higher the mAh rating, the longer the battery will last at a given discharge rate. The battery provided with the Stampede lasts 30 minutes or so if the truck is driven on a paved surface.

The truck is pretty peppy with the battery it comes with. It lacks run time though. I would start off by getting a second battery of the same size, and connecting them in parallel. The series connection is designed solely to increase top speed, and should only be used for that. Stop and go style use will fry the batteries in no time in series. Parallel increases how long the batteries will run, as well as the raw torque of the truck. A lot of guys out there will say, "Get the biggest and tie them in series!" I will definitely say that high speeds are not this truck's friend. Although it does result in some wicked crashes!

This is the url of this model: https://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/56036erevo. This car use 2 batt, the speed is 30 mph.

The 3350r velineon system that traxxas offers as a power up grade is the exact as the vxl . So if you bought a velineon system as a upgrade , you have spent more money than if you would have just bought the vxl to start with . I personally would recommend looking into castle creations brushless system instead . Its almost 100 dollars cheaper and you can get a few different power opinions. I up graded my daughters 4x4 stampede to a 3900kv and its geared for bashing . That system pushes it easily to the 45 mph on a 2s 5000mah 20c battery . The 3350 velineon system will push close to 40 mph on the same battery! I hope this helps you out !

The battery that came with the mastadon was a 7.4v 1500mah Vega power battery lipo which lasts about an hour and that's with the high upgraded brushless motor. Not the brushless that came with it. I can do a back flip with it

my friend, don't buy it, i used it around 5~6 times and then it was ballooned, then after few days,a chemical liquid started leaking, i regret the money i spent on this item, then i bought traxxas Lipo 25c 5000mah , and it is working perfectly so far although i did more than 30 recharges without any single issue.thanks,

If you use a 3cell lipo this will be faster than the velineon. It will generate heat. If you pound on this motor with a 3 cell you will probably go into thermal. Most people would use a 2 cell with the motor however I would not. None of my cars are spec cars.

The battery that it came with last me around 30 to 40 mins, but you have to learn how to use it for it to last that long, if your just holding on to the throttle the whole way not only will you not drift correctly it will use a lot if battery. It's a great rc car. I'm still having a lot of fun with it. It took me like three days to master a good drift. And remember to pick up an extra battery so you can keep practicing. Hope you enjoy

I suggest going with LiPo type batteries Bastens LiPo 7.4V 5000mAH hardcase battery & balance charger with included Tamiya connector adapter fits Axial Wraith SCX10 ARRMA Fury Granite Mojave Raider Truck Losi Night Crawler with this kit it takes about 45min to 1 hr to charge and you will easily get 2-3 hrs of run time.

You would have to buy the esc vxl3s to run that motor. It's brushless,there for it has 3 wire's. You would need lipo battery to. Then your bandit will do 70mph+

It goes about 30 to 35mph on the stock battery, and, on a surface with lots of traction it will do on-command wheelies. With two 7.2v nimh batteries (Traxxas-2925-Series-1200mAh) and a series connector (Traxxas-Series-Battery-Connection-Harness) and the spur gear (that comes in the part bag) it will do 50 mph. I think it is a great car for both beginners and advanced drivers.

I'd say it is a good upgrade. You'll appreciate it more when you use a lithium polymer battery (LiPo). Just make sure that your controller will be compatible with the upgrade set. LiPo battery is not that essential yet. You may also want to check on the battery and motor connectors for compatibility purposes for the whole vehicle.

Yes power. The velineon is for 1/10 and the mamba is for 1/8 and some 1/5. The lower the kv number the more power. Yes the put this setup in the traxxas e revo and e maxx. They are the size of most 1/8. One more thing that is different is the mamba use up to 6 s lipo
