550 Titan in a TL01B

[Adamski]

Yes I know it's 14.4v, but what can I do to use one? Li-Po?

It's just that I'v got an idea floating around my head fitting one to a Baja Champ/King fitted with 2.2 wheels/tyres.

Two battery packs wired in series? Make up a 12 cell pack?

why not use one of these?

Lipo needs special chargers and I doubt you would fit 2 normal packs in a TL01, so its cheaper and better to sell the Titan and get a 7,2V motor as its also for monster trucks (more torque oriented)

I know LiPo (I think) gives greater voltage with less packs (maybe 7/8), thats why I was thinking about using a 14.4v motor LOADS AND LOADS of grunt.

Jimbo, thanks for that link, tho I think I'll stick to the ones that I'v got for now.

LiPos dont seem to be suitable yet for big RC car use because of the high currents, if you want alot of torque better stay with 7.2V but go brushless. Anyway, I doubt if a BC would survive long with crazy motors, especially with bigger tires, not to talk about overgearing...
