How to buy a battery pack for your Traxxas vehicle
You are looking for a battery pack for your electric-powered Traxxas vehicle?
Then this easy guide is for you.
Most Traxxas vehicles already include a suitable NiMH or
LiPo battery pack, depending on the kit's specifications, but there are
also some kits, such as the X-Maxx, the XO-1 and some others,
that need to be equipped with the correct batteries. Traxxas offers a
nice feature on their website that shows suitale packs for each kit, but if you wish to use aftermarket packs, here is a short guide on what to take care off.
Depending on the scale the kits use different size battery packs. For example the 1/18th scale LaTrax uses a small NiMH
attery with the battery tray dimensions being 102x35x18mm while the huge
1/8th scale X-Maxx sports a 197x51.5x4mm battery compartment.
When clicking on the "Batteries" button which you find on the respective Traxxas product
pages, you will be routed to Traxxas' own battery range.
If you instead click the "Specs" button on any Traxxas model page, you can find the battery pack dimensions, and with these measurement you can go
and choose your new "non-Traxxas" battery pack.
EuroRC made
things easy for you as we not only mention Traxxas own spare and option
parts in our web shop but all suitable components and brands. When
searching our site for parts choose
"RC Car Parts" from the menu, then manufacturer and model (i.e.
"Traxxas 1:16").
When you're in the parts category for your car, you can then browse all the parts to find the batteries, or you can use our category search function to easily find all batteries.
As long as they appear on the product page, you can be
assured that the packs come pre-soldered with the correct Traxxas-compatible
power connector.
Another way to find your new battery is to choose "Batteries" from the menu, and then find the "Traxxas Batteries" category
that lists all Traxxas-compatible packs, although they may not always
come pre-wired with TRX-style connectors. If you choose to run a non-TRX
connector pack, we offer an economically-priced
TRX-Deans adapter that allows to run battery packs with the Deans-style connectors (also known as T-type plug).
When picking a pack from our Traxxas Batteries
segment, make sure to cross check the dimensions of your car's battery
compartment and the pack's dimensions. Make sure that none of the
battery's dimensions exceed the battery track dimensions. For example if
the compartment measures 140x50x45mm a 133x43x42mm pack will fit with
no problem but a 145x43x42mm pack will be too long.
When choosing your new battery pack you also need to
check the battery chemistry and voltage. All current Traxxas models are
Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) compatible but older spec cars may only be run
with Nickel-Metal-Hybride (NiMH) batteries. To find out which battery
type fits your kit again cross check using the "Specifications" or
"Specs" section of your kit on
www.traxxas.com
or check with the manual supplied with your kit. Depending on the speed
controller used your kit may be NiMH and LiPo compatible with batteries
of 7.2V up to 11.1V which equals 6-cell to 7-cell NiMH or 2S to 3S LiPo
battery packs.
Make sure to never use 7-cell NiMH or 3S LiPo battery
packs in case a speed controller is only 6-cell or 2S LiPo compatible as
otherwise you very likely ruin both the electric motor and the speed
controller – not to mention that your precious battery pack can also go
BOOM in the progress.
