Just finished upgrading my rc stadium truck from a 1500mah 7.2 volt nimh battery to a 5200 7.4 volt lipo battery. Can’t wait until it’s done charging and I can test it out. Is anyone else into rc cars/planes/helicopters? ---

What do you expect to be different other than battery capacity? .2 volts isn’t a big increase in power. ---

Lipo batteries are more efficient but I’m mostly excited about triple the run time. The old battery only lasted like ten minutes. This one should last about thirty. I know .2 volts won’t make much of a difference in speed. ---

Scratch that. I just did a test run and it goes noticeably faster and also has better acceleration. It’s not way faster, but there is definitely a difference. ---

I would guess the improved acceleration may be due to improved current draw of the 5200 mah battery. ---

I’ve got an edf jet but it’s needs parts right now. It needs a new servo and fan.
