probably not, you will have to measure the car

 Bruzzrr 35 points

No it will not , i have a merv and anything above 2s 5000 does not fit in.the car

 rcmadbull 43 points

sorry, can the monster beatle on the stock esc and motor handle this battery in a race or will they over heat

 badmud 10 points

HXT 4mm plugs but you can buy adapter or change the plugs to xt60 plugs that was what i did :)

 Rob 2 points

Your question is vague...depending on what type of connectors you are using...this fits all. As long as you solder both the esc and the battery end with this connector! hope that helps

 Jason 5 points

I think your question was more on fit. I have had to dremel a few of my RC Cars to get these to fit. Mainly because of the way the cords come out the side of the battery. Great batteries though.

 mark 19 points

All Lipo's should be balance charged. Your charger doesn't have to do it tho. You can buy a blinky or other balance board to keep the battery's balanced. For best life balance charging is nessecary. A good Charger pays for itself pretty fast

 jacombe 64 points

no but you can just solder on the connector of your choice

 michael 41 points

You can also buy the adapter to the TRX plugs that HK sells here.

 Rob 2 points

I switch all mine to the deans connectors

 greggg25 5 points

the trick to the deans connectors is to take the male and female side and mate the 2 connectors first to keep the -pins from shifting- then solder using standard 60/40 electrical solder. don't forget to install the heat shrink tubing "BEFORE" you solder and keep it away from the iron so it dosnt shrink before you can slide it over the bare wires.

 LasseK 581 points

You would have to change the connector since this battery has a XT60 connector (or use an adapter). Also, this battery is quite a lot heavier than the original 1300mAh and the dimensions are bigger, so here are some questions for you: Can the heli carry the extra weight, can you place the battery so the resulting center of gravity remains close to the main shaft and does this battery fit within the canopy? Sorry, more questions than answers I'm afraid! :-)

 jacombe 64 points

ya if you are going to be bashing for sure a hard case is better

 MasterB 106 points

Depends on your application - if the battery is placed safely (is not loose in the battery tray) then it will be fine for most uses... I use it for Firestorm flux bashing, and it works just fine!

 nelsonp 23 points

easy to solder , but make sure before you soldering the connection between cable and connector must be tight

 jacombe 64 points

its easy to solder if you have a good soldering iron the wires are pretty big, so just make sure u have a really hot iron

 MasterB 106 points

donal, it is much easier to change the connector type on your batteries and ESCs. For example EC5 is a breeze to solder! I changed to EC5 a year ago and it was probably the best decision.

 michael 41 points

It is very easy to solder on a new connector. Its easier if get a little solder on the wire and the connector. After they both have a little layer of solder it does take as much heat to bring them together for a strong joint. I run 5.5mm bullets on everything. They handle way more amps then a deans connector!

 jacombe 64 points

it will fit a standerd size 2s lipo not much bigger tho, so the battery should fit nice.

 MasterB 106 points

This batt is a very snug fit in firestorm flux. Unfortunately cables go out on the side, so it means you will have to cut away some of the battery tray... Or modify the lipo itself.

 lildevilx 212 points

i have the VXL and it works very well for me but you might want to double check cause i don't think the XL-5 works with lipo, you might have to upgrade it to the VXL combo

 jacombe 64 points

the dimensions are correct on the website, its a little to big to fit in my axial wraith stock tray.

 jacombe 64 points

length is 148mm 49 mm wide and the hight is 16 mm

 locks 6 points

dimension are correct, they fit in my traxxas slash nicely

 Scott 1 points

Yeah no problem. All you need to do is make sure you don't use more than 60Amps current draw, so if your truck runs longer than 5 minutes on that battery, you're good.

for wat use?

 Corentin 1 points

for a car or a plane ?

 vegiampa 17 points

hi, an Esc with 60A will go well. Of course, is the motor that demand Ampere at Esc.

 Tim 46 points

It depends on what you are using it for. Any ESC that can handle 2s Lipo, and Ideally one that has a built in Lipo cut off, that cuts the power to your vehicle when the battery is low to prevent damage. I've used this battery in a traxxas XL-5, mamba Max and about 10 others. i have never had a problem with heat or damage to the esc. Just don't let the battery drain below 3.4v per cell.

 Michael 11 points

It can take a while for them to get back in stock, but the wait is worth it.

I ran these packs in my slash, hyper 10sc, wheely king, and others with great success!!

 adb140275 24 points

yeah, it will fit just fine. its a good battery

 Michael 11 points

They fit just fine. I did modify the door to the battery box a little to make it easier to get the wires out.

 redcar802 1 points

yes will fit perfect

 barcaruc 16 points

These are the dimensions for the Tamiya TA05: Chassis Length: 366mm, Width: 188mm?Wheelbase: 257mm These are the battery dimensions: length 148 width 16mm, height 49mm I suppose it could fit,why not measure it by yourself,one of my friends tried one in his car (not a Tamiya) and didn't fit,too much length

 Antistar 1 points

I don't have the car kit at the moment so can't measure it

 Dmitry 2 points

It fits tamiya TT01. I have one of them

 breezing94 17 points

not fit perfectly...but you can use.
I am using this one at ZX5, TC5R, RB5...etc..

se me hizo muy pesada esta pila para la aplicacion que la queria la verdad no la he usado por el peso.

 Kiwisuperman 1 points

If you want to use this battery on your tamiya plugged' ESC you will need female tamiya plugs for your batteries. (be careful with your lipo cut out) I have bought the same batteries but opted for gold plated DEANS/TPLUG connectors

 mike123141 260 points

Lipo packs have a very large discharge rate. You will need to get a better connector than a Tamiya in order to avoid connector meltdown. I would recommend the XT-60, Deans, or Traxxas Connectors. Therefore, you will need a Male connector to replace on your ESC and a Female connector for your battery pack. Good luck!

 mattio79 120 points

a standard tamiya connector. go to your local hobby shop with your esc AND ?battery and they will either crimp on a tamiya connector or sell you an adapter

 superboe 6 points

tamiya connectors. or do it the good way and change everything to xt60, ec3 or ec5 plugs. they can handle the power of a lipo. tamiya connectors will melt sometimes.

 hector 15 points

just cut the end off and use whatever type plug you desire

 the1builder 29 points

These batteries are equipped with 4MM bullet style plugs. HK sells them.

 Derek 6 points

you will need to either change you tamiya plug the this bullet style or convert both the esc and battery to the traxxas or deans connector.

 Justin 11 points

I recommend you switch away from Tamiya connectors. If you'd like, the "Nylon T-Connectors" are Deans, and will fit flawlessly. I suggest those, or what I use, Sermos PowerPoles.

 gatekeeper 13 points

Tamiya female I presume. There should be adapters if you don't want to sodder your own.

 Cyrus 6 points

Tamiya plugs are not a good connector for these batteries. They have alot of resistance and in some instances can melt. Your best bet is buying the bullet connector that the battery has and changing your esc to that plug for more security

 e-ransom 78 points

the matching plug i think its an hk 4mm get rid of the tamiya plugs before you have flames they will not handle the power and melt together or burn

 Antistar 1 points

If you still want to stick with tamiya connectors www.link and www.link

 g_ynot 8 points

I would change all your connectors to ultra plugs they are better:)

 speednut 13 points

just get a tamyia plug for the batt, but id sugest getting deans ultra plugs , cause the tamyia wont handle the heat from this batt

 Adam 5 points

Tamiya plug is low current conduction type plug for non LIPO batteries. Best is bullet connection for high current byt deans will do its job on this battery so deans IMHO.

 mattio79 120 points

pick up a multimeter and check each cell individually and add the numbers together to get the total internal resistance. it SHOULD be less than 0.5 ohms.

 hector 15 points

its on par if not beeter than name brand packs

 gatekeeper 13 points

For practical use you can just measure the voltage at a couple of different current loads and calculate the effective resistance from that e.g. if you have a pack which gives 11.5V at 5A and goes down to 11V at 10A the resistance is 11.5 - 11 / 10 - 5 = 0.5/5 = 0.1 ohms Since that will be a 3S lipo the resistance/cell will be 0.033 All the calc programs need is a value per cell to work out the reduction in voltage under a particular load.

 DannyB. 54 points

That's going to be different from pack to pack... They are quite low when new. But specific numbers is almost impossible.

 Joel 5 points

What size are these bananna plugs?

 Guga_Brazil 35 points

extremely temperature dependent measurement, take care!

 A/P Guy 39 points

I would recommend the Accucell 8, www.link charger will do 150 watts so you can charge your 5000 mah at a full 1C charge rate (5 amps) which is the ideal charge rate. You'll also be able to charge bigger batteries in the future if you get into other types of R/C hobby. And at this price, between $40-50, you will not find a better charger!

 mowerman941 1 points

and it will balance it an everything, because i have heard of the smart ones that do everything on their own,but they are probly expensive.but im gonna look into the one you said and see,thanks!

 Jeff 1 points

I am using the turning accucell 6 and it is a wonderful charger very easy to use and only 22 bucks from hobby king. Not a single problem with it.

 Jeff 1 points

I meant turnigy

 the1builder 29 points

Iuse a HK ECO6. Simple to use, cheap, and works well on several types of batteries.

 mike123141 260 points

Any lipo charger from HobbyKing is a good lipo charger. The Eco 6 Charger is a winner, as well as the Turnigy Accucell chargers. Just make sure to get a power supply!

 mattio79 120 points

www.link

 hector 15 points

any lipo charger here will be fine

 Dustin 13 points

the accucel-6 is a good charger, but only one at a time, they are cheap so you could buy two of them, or spend 100$ and get the tunugy quatro that charges up to four at once

 Derek 6 points

look into the duratrax onyx chargers they have one that 1 - 3 cells that sell in hobby shop for about $80

 gatekeeper 13 points

Turnigy Accucel-6 and IMAX Power Supply 100~240v 5A I own both of these and the lipo you own, works great and have been using for just over a year now with no problems. (You need both, one is the charger, the other is the power supply for the charger!)

 Michael 7 points

I really can recommend the Hobbyking ECO6 50W charger. It's easy to handle and very cheap. The fan us a little noisy, but that's all the disadvantage.

 Matt 5 points

IMAX B6 Charger/Discharger 1-6 Cells , this charger works for me.

 speednut 13 points

for the price ide say accucel 6 , or imax b6 , theyll be fine

 jody 1 points

a simple onyx 235 would suffice. it will charge and balance your lipos. if you spend a little more then you can get the onyx 245 and charge and balance both at one time

 mattio79 120 points

the hardcase is thicker and will impede airflow in the erevo. if you are adventurous, get both and compare. for what you'd spend elsewhere, if 2 don't work, then you are still ahead of the value game.

 Tannin 5 points

I have 6 of these & only one had a problem but that was my fault. Been using for a yr

 the1builder 29 points

If you pound your hot rod like I do, pay extra for the hard case. One hard hit, one short, may short and burn your car. Safety first.

 Leslie 1 points

The best reason is that it provides extra protection in the event of a hard hit. In an e-revo that should not be too much of a problem as the batteries are protected anyway.

 hector 15 points

same pack different covering

 mattio79 120 points

if you chose "registered air mail" it could take 3 weeks, if not 4. it should usually take about 8 days to hit California. then whatever Ground is from there via USPS. they are the final contractor to handle the package. if the carrier gets to your house and you aren't there to receive the package, they don't try again for 3 days and will send it back after 30. so check your local post office. be sure to bring ID and your tracking number.

 Tannin 5 points

Took 7 days to get mine in GA but could have been up to 21 days I was told.

 superboe 6 points

it will arrive in 3-4 weeks so you'll get it soon:)

 Patricia 5 points

i have ordered 2 pcs of this 5000mAh 2S 20C lipo and also 2 pcs of 3s lipo and the package has arrived in bucharest, romania in 3 weeks!!!

 speednut 13 points

usually get my stuff from HK within 2 to 3 weeks

 mattio79 120 points

the male is positive. the female is negative. i hope this doesn't ruin any marriages (just kidding)

 superboe 6 points

the red wire is ALWAYS positive and the black wire is ALWAYS negative.

 Patricia 5 points

that's right... the red wire is pozitive( ) with the male connector and the black wire is negative(-) with the female connector. at least here in romania we use these lipo batteries this way!

 DannyB. 54 points

Should last upwards to half an hour , all depends on driving style , gear ratio and stuff like that.

 liteglow 36 points

depend on how you drive it, and what motor you use ! normally 10-15 maybe 20 minutes when taking it easy..

 mattio79 120 points

it depends on gearing and terrain. if you use speed gearing on rough terrain it will probably last (conservatively) ~30 minutes. your motor and ESC will be very hot. if you use bashing gears on smooth terrain and don't constantly have it on full throttle, you will probably get in excess of 45 minutes. i am using these in a slash 4x4 right now and i am getting an average of 40 minutes with speed gears on smooth/rough suurfaces (80%/20% respectively)

 mattio79 120 points

with stock gearing and about 50% WIT ( wide open throttle) you will get about 45 mins runtime on average.

 wirgej38 7 points

on mine it lasted about 30 minutes and how fas you go depends on what your gearing is.

 matthew 16 points

a little faster that stock and a little longer run time the best part is the punch your rustler should be able to do wheelies on demand. i run these on a blitz the wheelies are from half to full throttle. its got a 4600kv ez run motor 23t pinion 85t spur.

 Carboi91 11 points

In my VXL powered slash with the stock pinion/spur i get 38mph but it gets there insanely fast. With better gearing I bet i could go much faster. Wide open, it lasts about 20min but if you're not too hard you can get 30min out of it.

 SYEDCOMM 22 points

my testing at 9T motor brushless so fast for my mad truck and it about 50 minute for my truck 1/10 on motor 9T. It's the best value of money to buy it

 mattio79 120 points

depends on your gearing and your trigger finger. if you are geared for speed runs and go offroad at full tilt 100% of the time, then look for about 15-20 minutes. if you are bashing with offroad gearing, with 40-50% throttle, then look for about 30-45 minutes. geared as high as recommended for the system you should be able to hit about 50mph if you use 3s instead you should hit close to 75mph. never ever take these gear ratios offroad. you will demagnetize your motor. or even fry your VXL esc.

 Tannin 5 points

I run for about 20-3o Min in mine as well as 20 to 30 min in my E-revo Brushless.

  Travis T 6 points

How it will last will depend on how you are driving it. If you drive it up hills or high speed passes (full trigger) it will result in a much faster dis charge than if you were to casual drive it around on level surface. Regarding the speed, it can depend on the gearing of the truck with stock setup assuming you have not changed your pinion or spur gear this battery should produce around 30mph.

 speednut 13 points

ide say 15 to 20 minutes but depends on ur driving too , youll c a much greater change going from NiMh batts

 Kingsley 6 points

Mine lasts 20-30 mins in my losi strike on full power
