I dont get that car at all, i just dont get your reasoning ..... how do you drive it if there are no shocks, you would just be draging your ass everywhere you go, plus your wheels are at a very strange angle, how can you turn right or even drive straight ???????????
@traxxasdriver49 I always dissemble my cars when i work n them. With no shocks the body can lie flat on the table i was working on making it much easier to work.
@dano2website ok thx i dont really know much about rc cars... All i know about mine is that its VERY fast and it drains the battery in about 2 minutes from a 6 hour charge (It says on the charger "Charge For 4-6 Hours")
paralell connectors double runtime, they dont increase speed. might give a little more punch off the start, but they dont increase speed, just runtime. Series connectors increase the speed, not paralell
might want to explain that if you goof up and put two batteries in "series" instead of in "parallel" you will smoke your electronics. if you blew your shocks, i doubt it was because the size of the track, it was probably that ton of extra weight from the second battery smashing and crashing up and down
i like the idea but i think it would easier to get 5000mah or higher battery then you dont have to mess with the rubber bands also it would be lighter and only have to charger one battery my opinon
@visker96 Yes it would be a better idea to get a battery like that but this is an idea for somebody who already has 2kmah batteries. Anyway a 5kmah is more exspensive than lipos so if you get where im going either cheap nimh like this or lipo is where i would go. And by lipo i mean chinese made cheap ones no expensive brand name ones.
thanks ill try to do that but it told me i could use a file to convert to a youtube upload and it said that it uploaded but it just said zero seconds. it sucks.
dude i asked my lhs if this was safe and they said dont do this because the velineon system can only handle 11.1 volts. anything over that will blow up ur esc. DONT DO THIS!!!!
@reidairsofter Yes DONT USE SERIES your lhs was right but they meant don't use series connectors because they double the voltage. I specifically state to use a parallel connector which doesn't do anything to the voltage making it fine for the esc.
@funwawmods Probably, they already can fit 7-cell flat so you wouldn't have to mod that and there's a lot of space for another one so im sure you could find a way to fit another.
@RPRacing8 This was shot right after a race were i blew a rear shock so i took em all off. OBVIOUSLY i didn't drive it without the shocks that it was just like that when i was waiting for my big bores which have yet to fail on me.
i wouldbut my chassis is too cut up to lift it but i will do a video but my flip doesnt let me upload to youtube. if u know how to upload from flip to youtube please help me.

You can also do spacers under the mount and mount the esc on the side and extend the pin holders for the battery tray and run duals with 2 stacked batteries
@rustlerpro11 yes but 2 batteries on top of each other causes too much heat. Also putting an esc on the side is risking destroying it in a crash so i would highly discourage that.
@burtonloco1 All cars with a very similar chasis like most buggies but not any other cars. However all cars can use dual batteries with a parallel connector but you'll have to fins the spot for the second battery.
@jakejames5150 With a parallel connector it just doubles the mah but doesn't effect the voltage in any way. Since nimh's lose power over the session double nimh gives a lot more power
I think im going to keep my bandit with one battery. i tested it out and its the same speed and i get the same runtime. I think all it did for me is just unballence it make it more heavy. and make it not so much fun jumping. good experimenting though. Can you parellel charge a battery. I bought both. a parellel and a series.
@KTMBOY1112 Well, you can't use a series connector. Maybe it was a problem with your batteries but whatever it doesn't work for everyone but the logic is that nimh's lose power over the run time so with two you get a longer amount of peak power and longer run time.
@Evanwright10 Yes, lets say you have 2 7-cell nimh and ones 3k mah and ones 4k mah than with a parallel connector it would a 7-cell nimh with 7k mah. Enjoy :)
You do not need to have a stick and a hump. you can i have 2 humps and not have to mod your chassis. put a hump in there regularly and just put another humps to the side reversed from what he has it.
@KTMBOY1112 Yes you can so that but if you have the hump facing in than the battery will be slanted out making it more likely to fall out. If the hump is facing out than it would very hard to fit on the body but still doable just remember to put rubber bands over the body and it should be fine.
@KTMBOY1112 Yes you can so that but if you have the hump facing in than the battery will be slanted out making it more likely to fall out. If the hump is facing out than it would very hard to fit on the body but still doable just remember to put rubber bands over the body and it should be fine.
u going to mess it up man that is 14 cells you aint supost to run that miny man u can run 8 cell and thats it i think but ya if you wantt faster just get a darn lipo
@coleryanvivian Yes, you will mess it up if you use a series connector which would make it 14cells but a parallel connector just doubles the mah so two 7cell 3000mah batteries with paeallel equal one 7cell with 6000mah. since nimh batteries have a power curve this makes the vehicle faster for free since you can make a parallel connector with just spare wiring.
@IowaCoffee Yes, it does create a little weight imbalance. You can move the receiver right next to the esc and put a battery on each side but that takes modding the chassis. I just thought that this was the easiest way to do it and this doesn't damage the car but if you can move your receiver than that's a great idea to have a battery on each side balancing the weight.
@PSPENZO1 Yes, as long as one lipo works 2 lipos parelel will work fine but watch the motor temps cause the this will lengthen your run times and the longer the runs the hotter the motor gets but if you monitor every 5mins u should be fine.
@dano2website thanks, but i think the temps will be fine (i have a electronic speed conroler for brusless with anti overheed protection (brussles car)
why did you put talons on there and take off the shocks? With talons on a rustler you'll be going through driveshafts like nothing and no shocks well i think we're on the same page
@zanrath12345 I took off the shocks to make it easier to make the video and show everything. I don't know why you think i would drive it without shocks. And Fyi i have been using Talons on these for a year and haven't gone through any driveshafts and i don't see why i would since this is just a Low center of gravity Stampede.
@dano2website really? Because the guy at my local hobby shop "W Hobbies" he said that His friends had Put Talon's on the rustler and they broke there drive shaft the second they took off and he had tried and switch the gearing to 9t pinion over 92 spur and he still broke them. :S
@zanrath12345 Well changing the gear won't do anything i'd think it would be a problem with the actual car or in the transmission. Also mine has steel yokes so that might play into the factor that it hasn't broken. And i know people who have put on big e-revo tire (double size of talons with same tread) and had no shaft problems with their rustler.
Well, with this mod you are allowing two batteries to be used. If you connect the batteries with a series connector than two 7-cell will make 14-cell and burn up the esc(actual smoke come out). However i say in the video to use a parelell connector which does not raise the amount of voltage(cells) but unlike the series connector doubles the Mah so you will have double the run time and slightly more power. thx for watching, XD
@xXShadowRejectsXx haha yeah there are two connectors you can buy. i made the mistake of buying this connecter for my mmm rustler. it didnt make it any faster and i was like wtf? and then i got the one that doubles the power and it went like 100 haha
Well this is a chasis modification so it depends on the chasis of your vehichle. I'm not familiar with the car but if you can measure your batteries and the slots in your chasis than i'm sure that you can make it work.
I', sorry but both batteries need to be the same voltage for this to work. This process makes it like doubling your mah or having two of the same battery. I am almost sure that the esc wouldn't be able to handle that but concluding, thanks for checking out the video and taking time t comment.
@dragonblood199 Sir, i use electrical tape and i know what mah means and what nimh means. But this video isn't meant to teach people what they mean its meant to show people how to get their cars to go faster.
@RCmanster I had 2.8 inch wheels and the tires were around 4.5 inches. 4,200 and 5,000 is perfectly fine. Also low voltage detection is only needed when using LiPOs. However you will have a total of 9,200 MaH so check battery temps as really long runs which you will get from that level of MaH can get the motor hot.
Great Video...I have one quick question, soo i am planning to do this double battery thing and i was just wondering would it be bad to have one lipo and one nimh at the same time
@blogan234 It will depend on your ESC's programming. If you do use than Velenion than make sure you try it on LiPo mode because using LiPos on Nimh mode will break the Lipo's. However i don't see any problem with doing it on Lipo mode as long as you use a parallel connector and not a series and that you have a working low voltage cut off. Anyway tell me how it turns out as i have never heard of anyone doing this, good luck :)
@jason1786 Yes Jason, 2 7-cell nimh will work on any esc that can handle one 7-cell. You have to use a parallel connector though or it won't work. 2 7-cell nimhs at 5k mah each would be fine and you would get long run times as it would be 10,000 mah. The only problem is that your motor and esc might get hot in a reaaallly long run so i would check the temps every now and than.
grind that wall down as you show....except get the edges removed too...they will wear into the shrink wrap of the batteries eventually......second when thats done order a lipo 5.2A 30C 2S battery from hobby king. Also get a battery monitor, its a small circuit board ($3) you plug into the balance wires,get one with an alarm (some are just with led) secure it with servo tape in a place you can easily access when battery is in the tray and connect the battery....now see the bandit go ballistic !
i have done this to mine, the slight .2 volt increase wont harm your electrics, the lipo can flow more juice than needed, you might want a wheelie bar or put some led weights into the front....cause it will be on its rear wheels all the time :-) the battery monitor will sound a loud tone when its time to stop and charge....or you can get a ezrun system in there....i upgraded to this....and it is insanely fast, unbelievable power, i hit 60+ mph with mine easy (when tires are taped) muhahahaha
and the wheelies are cool...it really gonna tech you throttle control to keep those front tires planted on the ground....i set my drag brake at 10-15% that way i just let off a bit on the throttle and the front comes down with mild braking force keeping the front wheels in good contact with the ground, enabling you to steer the buggy, if you dont set drag brake it will just go straight at high speeds even when 100% to the right or left, just not enough force on the front tires, weights will help
Yh, i gotta grind the wall down little more as it has gone into the shrink rap. And i'm getting lipo's soon so than it really will go ballistic at 60 or 70, lol.
@dano2website ...thats a shame with the shrink wrap....thank god for gaffa tape :-)
i tried paralell running 2 packs of 40C 4A 2S lipos (they are so thin that i can mash 2 into the battery box....with the brushless system, those two batteries could deliver more than enough the buggy was ballistic ALL the time...not even "nutty" fun....just insane..jus for the heck of it i dropped in a Castle ESC i forget which one as its a rebranded hpi, programmed the throttle curve and it was manageable LOL
Yes, that is true. However i am saying to use a parallel connector which doubles the mah of the input power. It does not higher the voltage however it does high the power since nimhs lose power throughout the run session and with dual nimh you get a greater peak power.
haha, basically i copied the mini e-revo dual battery system, anyway it works fine. as in my Rustler bash vid i was running dual batteries. Anyway thank you for watching
nice shocks!

You would need a series wire harness to achieve 16.8V from two 8.4V batteries. With parallel wiring you get double the mah rating, not voltage.

Well in this video i show you how to put it together. It runs the same as normal but with more power.
dano2website 9 months ago
good video! But it tought the esc coundnt handle past 12cells?? u have any issues yet?

@xXShadowRejectsXx
Well, with this mod you are allowing two batteries to be used. If you connect the batteries with a series connector than two 7-cell will make 14-cell and burn up the esc(actual smoke come out). However i say in the video to use a parelell connector which does not raise the amount of voltage(cells) but unlike the series connector doubles the Mah so you will have double the run time and slightly more power. thx for watching, XD

@dano2website OH i never knew the difference between series and parallel, sorry mate lol, good mod btw!
xXShadowRejectsXx 10 months ago
@xXShadowRejectsXx haha yeah there are two connectors you can buy. i made the mistake of buying this connecter for my mmm rustler. it didnt make it any faster and i was like wtf? and then i got the one that doubles the power and it went like 100 haha

Does this work on Hpi e firestorm brushed?
biggameorlivestock 10 months ago
@biggameorlivestock
Well this is a chasis modification so it depends on the chasis of your vehichle. I'm not familiar with the car but if you can measure your batteries and the slots in your chasis than i'm sure that you can make it work.

where r ur shocks? do u run ur bandit with without shocks?

@reidairsofter
I use shocks. I just took them off for this video to make it easier to demonstrate this process.

what size tires are thoes? and what is your car geared at??
traxxasbandit1 10 months ago
@traxxasbandit1
4.8 inch tires on 2.8 inch wheels, stock stampede setup. And its geared at 26/86 but i'm moving it down to 24/90 soon because its getting too hot.

I just made a parallel connector. Can I use a 6 cell and 7 cell battery at the same time or do they both need to be the same voltage?
PoopLoungeProduction 11 months ago
@PoopLoungeProduction
I', sorry but both batteries need to be the same voltage for this to work. This process makes it like doubling your mah or having two of the same battery. I am almost sure that the esc wouldn't be able to handle that but concluding, thanks for checking out the video and taking time t comment.

Like I would ever listen to someone about electronics when they use duct tape in place of electrical tape...
Or someone who says M- A- H instead of Milli Amps per hour
Or someone who says nims instead of nickel metal hydride .
dragonblood199 11 months ago
@dragonblood199 Sir, i use electrical tape and i know what mah means and what nimh means. But this video isn't meant to teach people what they mean its meant to show people how to get their cars to go faster.

What size tires i put both my nimh i had 4200 and 5000 is that ok ... I also whould put lowvoltage detection on
RCmanster 11 months ago
@RCmanster I had 2.8 inch wheels and the tires were around 4.5 inches. 4,200 and 5,000 is perfectly fine. Also low voltage detection is only needed when using LiPOs. However you will have a total of 9,200 MaH so check battery temps as really long runs which you will get from that level of MaH can get the motor hot.
dano2website 11 months ago
Great Video...I have one quick question, soo i am planning to do this double battery thing and i was just wondering would it be bad to have one lipo and one nimh at the same time
blogan234 1 year ago
@blogan234 It will depend on your ESC's programming. If you do use than Velenion than make sure you try it on LiPo mode because using LiPos on Nimh mode will break the Lipo's. However i don't see any problem with doing it on Lipo mode as long as you use a parallel connector and not a series and that you have a working low voltage cut off. Anyway tell me how it turns out as i have never heard of anyone doing this, good luck :)

is 2 nimh can handle it? 2 7 cell nimh 5000 mah
jason1786 1 year ago
@jason1786 Yes Jason, 2 7-cell nimh will work on any esc that can handle one 7-cell. You have to use a parallel connector though or it won't work. 2 7-cell nimhs at 5k mah each would be fine and you would get long run times as it would be 10,000 mah. The only problem is that your motor and esc might get hot in a reaaallly long run so i would check the temps every now and than.

can you drive it with out shocks? lol

lol, i had popped my shocks but now i have big bores, yay!

grind that wall down as you show....except get the edges removed too...they will wear into the shrink wrap of the batteries eventually......second when thats done order a lipo 5.2A 30C 2S battery from hobby king. Also get a battery monitor, its a small circuit board ($3) you plug into the balance wires,get one with an alarm (some are just with led) secure it with servo tape in a place you can easily access when battery is in the tray and connect the battery....now see the bandit go ballistic !
CygnusX250 1 year ago
i have done this to mine, the slight .2 volt increase wont harm your electrics, the lipo can flow more juice than needed, you might want a wheelie bar or put some led weights into the front....cause it will be on its rear wheels all the time :-) the battery monitor will sound a loud tone when its time to stop and charge....or you can get a ezrun system in there....i upgraded to this....and it is insanely fast, unbelievable power, i hit 60+ mph with mine easy (when tires are taped) muhahahaha
CygnusX250 1 year ago
and the wheelies are cool...it really gonna tech you throttle control to keep those front tires planted on the ground....i set my drag brake at 10-15% that way i just let off a bit on the throttle and the front comes down with mild braking force keeping the front wheels in good contact with the ground, enabling you to steer the buggy, if you dont set drag brake it will just go straight at high speeds even when 100% to the right or left, just not enough force on the front tires, weights will help
CygnusX250 1 year ago
@CygnusX250
Yh, i gotta grind the wall down little more as it has gone into the shrink rap. And i'm getting lipo's soon so than it really will go ballistic at 60 or 70, lol.
dano2website 1 year ago
@dano2website ...thats a shame with the shrink wrap....thank god for gaffa tape :-)
i tried paralell running 2 packs of 40C 4A 2S lipos (they are so thin that i can mash 2 into the battery box....with the brushless system, those two batteries could deliver more than enough the buggy was ballistic ALL the time...not even "nutty" fun....just insane..jus for the heck of it i dropped in a Castle ESC i forget which one as its a rebranded hpi, programmed the throttle curve and it was manageable LOL
CygnusX250 1 year ago
the ESC is a 3s. it isn't rated for more than 11.1 volts
TheHuntingTerminator 1 year ago
@TheHuntingTerminator
Yes, that is true. However i am saying to use a parallel connector which doubles the mah of the input power. It does not higher the voltage however it does high the power since nimhs lose power throughout the run session and with dual nimh you get a greater peak power.

haha, basically i copied the mini e-revo dual battery system, anyway it works fine. as in my Rustler bash vid i was running dual batteries. Anyway thank you for watching
