Using a lipo on a roto starter

Hai Guys

I Have a question... Can we use a lipo for a roto starter?

?

If the voltage matches, yes. The roto start needs a 7.2V battery.

i have a 2s 2200mah can it be used???

but you need to connect a lipo cut off otherwise your lipo can get over discharged

traxxrc1 · September 21, 2010, 02:21:14 PM

Buying a NIMH is more cheaper than that i think..... are there any other options?/?

traxxrc1 · September 21, 2010, 02:43:09 PM

this one is good, i have used it on my phoenix stII

traxxrc1 · September 21, 2010, 02:44:42 PM

go for a NiCd of around 15C discharge and 2000 or more mah, cheapest, provides same discharge of nimh,way more cheaper than anything

for which car are you thinking all this??
why not go for a pullstart..provides a real feel

traxxrc1 · September 21, 2010, 02:48:25 PM

i have the option of both pull start and hex start<rotostart> on my losi lxt xxl but i prefer the pull because it is nice and makes me feel having a powerful tougher car

Sreedhar · September 21, 2010, 03:09:15 PM

Phoenix St2 doesnot require a lipo cut off its in build into it.. can you provide me a link of NICD?? I am purchasing HPI MT2 from tower they have only rotostart.

Simple, get a 7.2v 2000mah battery from any indian hobby shop, dont break your head for this.

I wanted to try some thing new......

thank you sreedhar for your information,
but the older st 2 which came with the 2ch AM radio had the esc without lipo cutoff(the one with red and white sticker)
the new ones have a cutoff built into it(THE ONES WITH A RED SILVER STICKER)

I AM STILL NOT VERY SURE BUT I THINK SO

traxxrc1 · September 22, 2010, 10:52:08 PM

Mr. Ajo is absolutely right,(atleast he agrees to my opinion for the first time)
