Hello! My name is Steven. How are you today? How can I assist you with some RC fun today?
i need to know about some stronger lasting batteries for this car
which would be better to power the dynamite tazer motor and light kit?
Reaction 11.1V 4000mAh 3S 20C LiPo Battery: Hardcase, EC3
7.4V 5000mAh 35C 2S LiPo Battery Hardcase: EC3
Steven S.
You can run a 3s on that. you will want to use at least a 5000mah that will give you a good 30min run tim.e
so the reaction battery would be a better choice
Steven S.
Yes that would be correct.
ok now need a charger for it

This one would be a great choice for that battery.
ok great, i heard that there are some gear upgrades for this car also. are there any that will achieve higher speeds
Steven S.
You could put a larger pinion gear on it to make it go faster. but when you do that you will want to watch motor temps. when you start going fast the heat an build up quick.
is there a cooling fan made for this motorDynamite DYN4943C Tazer 1/10 4 pole 4000Kv ESC /Motor Combo Brushless/Sensorless
