[QUOTE="slednecks1124, post: 1472467, member: 16653"] First u would want to know what kind of speed control the truck has so u can figure out which type of batteries are compatible (lipo, nimh, nicd) and how much voltage they can handle. I probably wouldn't run more than 7.4 volts cause u will end up breaking stuff. Most people with crawlers run lipos due to size and cost, but they do need to be handled with a little more care than nimh or nicd batteries. Another reason we go with Lipos is because they provide a pretty consistant power throughout the whole cycle of the battery instead of like nimh or.nicd where the power gradually starts to decrease. I run a castle creations mamba micro pro in my mrc pro comp truck and run gens ace 2s (7.4v) 450mah Lipos , I swap batteries after each comp course so that's why I only run a 450mah. I think I paid like $3.75 each for my Lipos, I just usually buy like 5 at a time cause they r so cheap. U should be able to get a.battery from ur lhs for less than $20 but it all depends on brand, size, voltage,etc. If u can get the guy to hold onto the crawler for like a week is order some from hobbyking or hobbypartz as u will get them probably much cheaper.
