All I want are long run times. What do I have to do the the esc for the lipo


And whats the stock battery connection called?

Nevermind on the lipo.......what is the best nihm battery for the best runtime that fits in the space. Anybody?

You can pretty much go by the mah rating for the runtime.. The higher the number the longer your runtime... I would recommend running a lipo, you don't have to change anything in the car to do so.. But for the nimh question, horizon has a couple, dynamite has a 1750mah and integy has a 1600 both have the mini t connector so they plug right in... duratrax also has a good 1600 but you have to get those off eBay or towerhobbies.. I like the integy... Dynamite also makes a 1650 lipo with the mini t plug... Let me know if you can't find em and I'll get some part numbers

Just bought the NiMh dynamite 1750mah of ebay and as hard as i try will not squeeze into the battery box. A couple of mill too wide. Anyone know a NiMh with more mah than the stock that definately fits into the battery box.
