Then the 5000 should fit.

Thanks Ajit.

that 5000mah zippy hardcase pack shld be good enough.

as for the amp rating its stock batts are 3600 nimh and i dont think they can give out 200A cont

and forgot to add.
stock nimh battery length is 130mm

No way the NiMHs can give 200A.I have seen such ridiculous ratings only on brushed ESCs.Don't know what the whole thing is about.

I've seen a graph(datalogged)where a stampede 4x4 drew 150A on a CC SW-SCT 3800 Don't remember the gearing but it must have been ridiculous.Anyways,I doubt the phoenix would draw anything over 100A

Thanks a lot for the info Ajit. 5000mah 2s 20c should be ok i guess.  Does anyone have specs for the super sport 17T motor? Couldnt get it online.

17T means its for stock class.(Actually it should be 17.5 T)Not spectacularly powerful by any means.It should have around the power of a 34 turn brushless motor(of similar size.)

I wanted to know the power consumption.

Not a lot

(sorry if I sound like I despise brushed motors but I do after coming starting rc off with a brushless,brushed motors seem like no fun)

Turnigy 4000mAh 2S 30C hardcase pack $18.5 350gms dimension 134 x 44 x 22mm seems to be the only one which fits

Yup they definately do not have as much power as a brushless system. I was looking for the Amps it pulls @ 7.4V.

I'm sure the lipo can provide how much ever it needs.Rajath,even a 5000 mah pack will fit.

So either:

Turnigy 5000mAh 2S 30C hardcase pack $23 400gms dimension 139 x 46 x 26mm
or
Turnigy 4000mAh 2S 30C hardcase pack $18.5 350gms dimension 134 x 44 x 22mm

The 5000mah will be a squeeze @ 26mm. Dont want to go for a 20C.

sure.the 30C should be enough.

Ya.. Stick with the 30c to be safe

New (phoenis st2 with battery) or (used slash 2wd package)? Which is better. Kinda leaning towards the slash now. Price wise both come upto the same.

IMHO, used Slash.. Better car all together..
Waiting to meet you at the track with your new Phoenix/Slash

Slash FTW!!!

waiting to get phoenix/slash

I have decided to go in for a brushless. So closing this post and starting a new one
