How did two batteries affect your car’s handling? Was it even noticeable? Do those new springs you recommended still compensate good for the extra weight? But when you did run two batteries at a time, did both batteries get as hot as one does when it depletes and needs recharging? I guess it’s normal for that one battery to be pretty warm when done with, I just assumed that two batteries together wouldn’t have quite the strain on them as a pair when they ran down. I’m more curious about how having the extra weight of two batteries will affect the car even with the new stiffer springs in the back.īut how much longer was the run time on two batteries on yours? Right now, I think he gets about 20, 30 minutes depending on how often he runs it and how hard he runs it whether it’s on pavement or through grass so I’m assuming it oughta be about doubled. Not out a whole lot of money on the two-battery adapter.lol. You should have a great time with it, enjoy !Yeah like I said, that parallel cable was only like 8 bucks so if it gets used for two batteries, it gets used or if it doesn’t and he just runs it with one battery, that’s fine. Kids have run it hard till they are bored and I havnt had any problems yet ( things do wear out, but no breakages ). It lets things cool down when you change batteries, before going again. I can’t remember what his front springs are but the rears are definitely the black ones. It’s not used, we ordered it brand spanking new directly from Traxxas, and this is how it came out of the box.īut yeah, I will definitely have to look into those the different springs because all they have for his car is the orange being the lightest, black being the heaviest. Some shock oil and rebuild kits wouldnt hurt. It could easily have been cleaned for sale. īeing 2nd hand, it wouldnt surprise me if the shocks are leaking ( empty ). I have Black on the front, about 4mm preload on the collar. īut, if you go to the 1/16 Summit parts page and click on springs, you get a lot more choices. And yes, I think the black marked springs are the stiffest on the e-revo. ![]() The help desk would have been following a set procedure to get the right part. Is there an aftermarket spring thats stiffer, that doesn’t need as much preload? I don’t think we’re gonna run a Lipo battery on this car since they are kinda dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing with them and I don’t really think they will make the car any better from how it is now with the NiMH battery it came with so I think we’re just gonna get him a couple more of the battery that it came with along with the parallel splitter that allows you to run two NiMH batteries at the same time but I’m worried about extra weight on a car that I feel already has really soft suspension. if ya wanna call it that, said that the black springs- which it has on there already, were the heaviest sprigs they had for this little car. I got on a chat line with Traxxas that was more/less a joke but anyways, the agent that helped me. I was surprised that even straight outta the box that it seemed like the rear spring’s pre-load nuts where already spun all the way up. I mean, I know its a little bitty thing, much smaller from my Revo 3.3 but dang. Hey guys, my girlfriend and I went halfsies on a new E Revo 1/16ths scale for her son and I’m curious about a coil spring upgrade because its stock suspension just seems way too soft to me.
