battery for dex210 rtr
 

hi going to get a dex210 rtr from mb models but not sure what is right type battery to get as they have a lot forsale
im guess its 2s lipo but what is type like stick or shorty? and power rate? as im new to electics
thanks

the battery with the bigger the c rating the better

i run a shorty and find it better for tuning ability

so theses 2 below should be ok? ones shorty which I worked out can power motor upto 120a and other one is stick that do upto 17a

so it don't matter if the battery over powered for motor? as readed that it must not be under powered
also don't know if you know what power the rtr motor is?

Either works fine, maybe have a look at hobbyking for some cheap nanotech or other hardcase lipos.

I'd say both have quite a low C rating for racing mod - for stock like the 210 RTR they may work, but keep in mind that then if you are looking to change to the mod class/hotter motors you'll need to change not just motor and ESC, but also battery...

I find the Turnigy nano tech 4200mah 2s 65>130c shorty from hobbyking very good at a smidge under thirty quid delivered and took 7 days to arrive.:)

+1 for the Nano Shortys from Hobbyking.

Myself and my son run them in everything including my DEST210 and his DEX210

I'll second the nanotech shorty ones, seem good quality and been using them for months without any problems, I use them in buggy, short course truck and supastox.

I have the rtr and run saddles which I got from MB Models the next day :thumbsup:
