Popular RC Applications

The 139 × 47mm footprint makes this battery suitable for many RC vehicles designed for full-size 3S LiPo batteries. Because this battery is approximately 38mm tall, battery-tray height should also be checked before purchasing.

Traxxas

A great 3S option for compatible versions of:

• Traxxas Slash 4X4 VXL
• Traxxas Slash 4X4 Ultimate
• Traxxas Rustler 4X4 VXL
• Traxxas Stampede 4X4 VXL
• Traxxas Hoss 4X4 VXL
• Other Traxxas VXL-3S vehicles with sufficient battery-tray height

Important Traxxas Fitment Note: Some Traxxas vehicles require the optional tall-battery hold-down or battery-expansion hardware to accommodate a 38mm-tall battery. Check your specific vehicle before ordering if you want installation with absolutely no changes to the factory battery hold-down.

ARRMA

Potential applications include 3S-capable versions of:

• ARRMA GRANITE 4X4 3S BLX
• ARRMA SENTON 4X4 3S BLX
• ARRMA TYPHON 4X4 3S BLX
• ARRMA VORTEKS 4X4 3S BLX
• ARRMA BIG ROCK 4X4 3S BLX
• Other ARRMA vehicles designed for full-size 3S LiPo batteries

Losi

Potential applications include select 3S-capable versions of:

• Losi Tenacity-T
• Losi Tenacity SCT
• Losi Tenacity DB
• Losi Baja Rey
• Losi Rock Rey
• Other Losi vehicles with a 3S-compatible ESC and sufficient battery-tray dimensions

Other Brands

This standard-size 3S hardcase battery may also work with compatible vehicles from:

Team Corally • Team Associated • Axial • Redcat Racing • HPI Racing • Kyosho • Tekno RC • TLR • Hobao • Tamiya • Vanquish and more.

Because individual models and generations use different battery trays, always verify battery dimensions, voltage and connector before purchasing.

Multiple Connector Options

One of the biggest advantages of SMC batteries is the availability of multiple connector options.

Depending on the version selected, this battery is available with:

• Traxxas First Generation – Compatible with Traxxas iD Connector
• SC5 – Compatible with EC5 / IC5
• EC3– Compatible IC5
• XT60
• XT90
• T-Style/ Deans Plug

Choosing the correct connector can give you a clean installation without soldering or using unnecessary adapters.

Upgrade to 3S Power!

If your RC is currently running a 2S LiPo and the ESC and motor are rated for 3S, stepping up to an 11.1V 3S LiPo can provide a noticeable increase in speed and acceleration.

Do not use a 3S battery simply because it physically fits. Your ESC and motor must be rated for 3S (11.1V) operation.

Not Sure If It Fits?

We're here to help!

Bring your RC into AZ Turn and Burn RC and we'll help determine whether this battery fits your vehicle, whether your electronics can safely handle 3S power, and which connector you need.
