Traxxas batteries 101: keep your toys powered and ready for fun



The world of RC cars is to be a very pleasant place. Powerful versions of your favorite riders reduced the real world models are fully equipped to handle heavy soil; and they are great fun.
That is, they are great fun when they go full force and ready without the POWERCELLs full load, well, they are only one, aggressive looking car exceptionally well developed model. The confusion surrounding your Traxxas vehicles to keep full of juice and ready to go, the new system is Traxxas iD.
The simplified and full proof, with their new energy cells (batteries) and EZ-Peak charger more, they took the weight challenge.
 
More performance

They say that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, an analogy that was certainly true in my experience with the world of RC cars. A marvel of technology, a scale model 1/10 the animal 4-wheel machine, including independent suspension, racial differences, the watertight cable quickly in places, get difficult.
Everything returns to a vehicle so cool looking, it makes you smile, as you are about something to do with the rules, and it can reach speeds up to 100 km / h. Impressive right? Now imagine looking at all these promises, this elegant, aggressive machine sitting in the gravel-lined entrance, filled obstacle, hilly slice of heaven RC tests. It makes a person feel good enough, even giddy. Until you realize that batteries are not charged properly, and now, this incredible machine, whose whole existence is to quickly place to go all the way back to take you.

Oh, the irony. It does not matter how the owner of the vehicle is no reliable source of energy, it's just an oversized Hot Wheels car. I had to say two of them with me, and a friend along for the fun, the day it happened, I had absolutely no idea what went wrong. Needless to say, truck batteries has always been a bit confusing. Fortunately Traxxas people likely to rationalize in response to experiences like mine, revisited their battery systems, the whole thing is for people like you and me easy to make. The good news? They succeeded with their new cell power Traxxas iD and EZ-Peak charger more.

A glance at the magazine without even cracking the instructions (the unilateral infographic was created double ... another good sign), I immediately could see that the system greatly improved. Previously, the charger was less friendly, more like something specific in the basement of Dr. Frankenstein character with son is everywhere, and just enough of a display reading confusing.
 It was for you, (or in this case, me) to know "consumers" what kind of battery you have (there are a lot of options) and the speed at which should be responsible and amperage. Once you have all of them, it was not super clear whether the charger did what it was supposed to. Fortunately, at the time of customer service, both in the son of discussion in the community and in the detailed documentation (documents, instructions) online has helped me.
Best guess I'm ready and willing to call the help desk, but it does not get that far. And now with their new identification system, it is never.
ID please

As noted by the clever name, is the beauty of the new charger that does the work for you. It is a one size fits all, supports both the NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) and LiPo (lithium polymer) in all its many configurations. If you are curious about the difference between the two, NiMH batteries of standard grade, and sure to go your average user.
LiPo batteries are a higher performance but also higher maintenance. Not all vehicles can be used, and those who may be "low voltage detection" capable electronics, as these things to pack a lot of juice. Simply put, if you do not fully know the difference, stick with NiMH that sorts LiPo are preferred by the rabid fans, seeking to maximize acceleration and top speed, especially for races against other amateurs debris.

Whatever the energy source you load the new Charger "on," this type of battery, and your options reduce to a few keystrokes. It also has the advantage of being out of the socket, but as an auxiliary power (cigarette lighter) in your car, like many of their other charger runs.
The system also brought their individual energy cells together under its new purpose redesigned "Hochstromstecker 'Traxxas iD. The Hochstromstecker is much more visual logic, and as they say," can not connect back. After the man scratching his head wondering "what am I doing wrong? Insurance is welcome.
With gold plated connectors, copper broad interface and shrink tubing, the new Traxxas High-Current Connector was re-designed to deliver virtually zero resistance, so that more energy goes directly to the bits that make it go fast. He was very intuitive, just plug in the battery unit identified battery type, the options narrow considerably from there.



The large glowing blue button that presses practically you're required, is all that stands between you and a charged battery. Well, that is, and time (under load than an hour). It's a little more complicated than with LiPo batteries NiMH, with 3 charging options, fast storage and balanced, the latter being the default. "Balanced" is the recommended setting, and quite frankly, if the filler delivered in less than an hour, I'm not sure why you need anything else.
 Keep the glowing blue button light began the load by the flashing green LED when it is actually displayed is determined. The info-graphic provided instructions (instructions with pictures) was brilliant and bright, easy to read, answer a few questions that I wanted in an instant.
Alternatively, the instructions on our website. And a number of 3, 7 NiMH, I am the 2 LiPo 1200mAh NiMH cell and 1s (smaller packaging units for 1/18 Scale). Unlike my previous experience load power cells, the process was essentially the same (except for the small set on guard LiPo) before being crazy, I can say that it is almost infallible.


Over All

Navigate this very important aspect of their vehicles use to be confusing, and frankly, has me wince. Only the fact that I by an investigation, and the promise of fun times with powerful Traxxas RC cars made to follow me through.
The new Traxxas Power Cell-ID and EZ bit more Traxxas Compatible Charger revisited, revised and greatly improved all aspects of shipping from the power source, which is the centerpiece of the RC, literally and figuratively. This new system makes it much easier, streamlining the process through the plurality of power cell products that they make.
With its new terminal ends, one (or two) charger touch, the bulk of the work (and thinking) for you make, and easy to follow, bright, color, the instruction to do the rest on the basis of the image, Traxxas has the Biss made the dreaded intermediate step.
Step between obtaining the box with the really fun toys inside to actually the car with a smile on your face. In the end it all adds up to a much improved consumer confidence and the removal of entry barriers that can stand in the way of someone with a casual interest.

After five of their products spent time, I've been a fan of Traxxas and their views on the RC car, this improvement (and my previous experience with Traxxas Slash and Latrax SST, they certainly helped) also was the push, the me sent occasional fan, plunges into the depths of "RC enthusiasts."

Sign me because this stuff is simply fun
