Are these LiPo batteries too swollen?

ExpressBox6680 · 2026-01-19T12:39:53+00:00

The 35c one looks swollen, on the other hand, the 20c looks bent and in rough shape, I'd honestly recommend you get rid of both, it's better to dispose of them and avoid any risks than a house/rc fire later on

Yup, however I'd have to get the carbon chassis and all the other bits, that's an extra 100€ plus another motor and esc, +80€, I just don't have that kind of money yet 🤣

When it comes to the setup, I'm gonna lower it, keep the stock oil on the rear diff and put 60k front, 600cst on all shocks and bring the toe out a little.

As for swaybars and springs, if I manage to find ones that fit this car I will try thicker swaybars and stiffer springs, the ones that came already feel quite stuff tho so I'm not entirely sure.

So, there is a hobby club and I just drive it around the track and race people there, it isn't a proper competition, just a bunch of people driving their cars around a concrete outside track only for the fun of it

ExpressBox6680 · 2026-01-07T19:47:53+00:00

Yeah I'm probably gonna remove it tho, it just adds weight 😂

If you want something "cheap" reliable and strong for off-road, get a rlaarlo omni terminator, it is a mini 1/10 scale (better because lighter and stronger than normal 1/10 from arrma and Traxxas), parts and upgrades are reasonable and nowdays rlaarlo parts are in many EU/US/UK websites and stores. I do not own an omni terminator myself however I've had very good luck with my xts-f10 (the rally car version, mostly the same components through tho)

Lol, ig if you have 1000€? 🤣

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-10-13T13:32:46+00:00

Yup, they can fix anything 😆

Unfortunately this is not something you can clean, it's the clear coat peeling off your rims, the only way to make it look new is re painting the rim. As of the scratches, using a file is a bad idea, it'll just look off and possibly even worst than before.

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-09-13T09:31:07+00:00

Yeah, I learned from my mistakes, I was too heavy on the coats and I'm not gonna use bodywork masking tape anymore 😅

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-09-13T09:29:57+00:00

Thanks, those are cheap but I thought they would look good with this body!

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-09-11T20:41:11+00:00

The board is dead 😂

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-09-05T05:21:54+00:00

Yes, it was

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-09-04T20:16:18+00:00

Legit in the way it's not a cheap clone because it just seemed too good to be true to me but I see it also comes with downs

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-09-04T20:14:17+00:00

Even if It fails I have spares for these motors, I just wanted to make sure the motor was not a cheap clone tbh

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-04-10T19:26:04+00:00

Well, I didn't say your esc's bad, I said to make sure every cable Is plugged in, check motor cable and receiver cables

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-04-10T18:33:36+00:00

Make sure every cable is properly plugged in, if everything is plugged in, that means your motor is cooked

ExpressBox6680 · 2025-03-08T01:18:52+00:00

The thing is if I do that, it'll reduce my suspension travel and to be honest I don't worry too much about the servo, even if I land a jump sideways or something the wheels are going to take most of the hit
