LiPo in S2
 

which one's fit?

Most of us ran Trakpower 3200's they fit the best :thumbsup:

and with the trakpower in 4800
do yos know if it's ok with the bodyshell ?
thanks

The 4800 are to big & not needed for 2wd.
You can do 2 runs on 3200's in 2wd :thumbsup:

Which motor do you use with TP3200 on S2?

TP4800 are too big! Do you mean that the bodyshell is too low and touch the batteries or that the run will be unterminable !:thumbsup:

6.5 and 3200 lipo is plenty anymore than that is a missile :woot:

4800 is too high

The 3200 is really good for racing. It is lighter, smaller, and will last 15 minutes with a 7.5 brushless. I have good luck with the 3200 in both my 2wd and 4wd. Also if you can use Orion, and or LRP (not sure about other brands in the EU) you can get up to 30c discharge. That is only for 2wd so far. The hope is both will have legal saddles that will have 30c soon. That is HUGE power and still you get good run times.

matty tried the 3200 lipos at worksop, they were ace car was so lite, a new set up will be needed for sure,

ye the shell is to low for the trakpower ones but with the 3200?s and a 6.5 its quick enough !:thumbsup:

silly quick, i picked the car up and had to look twice to make sure the cells were in.

anyone adding weight to the car when running LiPo?

if so were are you placing the weight?

any new setups for running LiPo?

I ran 30g inthe front & then filled the gaps in the lipo tray under the cells, with the same setup i ran everywhere with cells!

I run lead sheet from Frogger under each lipo in the tray, 7g either side of the chassis at the servo horn area and 10g at the very front part of the bulkhead assembly.

I have no idea how heavy the car is though so I cant guage how close to NiMh weight it is.

Only thing I suffer with currently is front end push on low grip surfaces, but we're working on that :)

I add 50 grams under each lipo and 40 grams to the front end, with no change on the setup it feels better handling than when using nimhs :drool:

car no batts = 1118g
car with 42's = 1543g

2wd min is 1474g for BRCA events

I need to add 254g :woot: to get up to weight using TP32 LiPo's (102g) if I've done my sums right. Might have to change from titainium/alloy screws to full metal also

100 grams out :p, each 3200 saddle is 100grams, so you only need to add around 150 grams, 50gram under each saddle and the rest around the front bulkhead :thumbsup:

:blush: never was any good @ maths

have some lead now so I can go LiPo :D

80 x 50 x 2mm & 95g a plate

just need the LiPo now :(

How about these. They are not yet on Roars approvals list but I guess they will be. 4900 and 25c:thumbsup:.

What kind of saddle lipo could we choose for the S2 ? - The choice is very limited ! A little help from the S2's fans ?

Thanks
