2S Lipo Vs. NiMh Battery W/ Stock ARRMA Gorgon Electronics

With the ARRMA Gorgon being 2S Lipo ready right out of the box, I had to do a comparison of the 2 batteries.

Amazing and detailed speed test 😊

[@ramsessilent]

looking good cant wait to see it brushless! thanks for the share! stay awesome!

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Coming this weekend. Stay tuned.

[@justinmilam545]

Slower speed make sense as a 2s is only 7.4 volts and the stock battery is 8.4 volts. The main difference with the lipo is the faster discharge rate allowing you to do wheelies.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Exactly!

[@UrbanLegendRC]

Nice session 👍🏾 it looks like it performed great on your track

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks! It did pretty good. So much better now with just adding that little bit of punch. Going brushless with it this weekend.

[@james215RC]

Exactly why I put my wheelie bar on after the first run. Thinking about gearing mine up just a little bit . Plenty of Low end.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I had thought about going 15T with the pinion. Take some of that low end snap away.

[@dylanwhite6539]

4x4 would definitely backflip off that. Also, I wouldn’t feel great about putting brushless in those. The plastic gears aren’t likely to last long.

[@nafex3740]

Nice session buddy 👍 very amazing 👍 ❤

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks!

[@andrelove5070]

Bring back the wpl videos!!! Great videos lately man

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks! I have a new motor and esc to put in the WPL. I have a bunch of videos lined up but I want to get ARRMA Gorgon videos uploaded while it’s still trending.

[@abpc1985]

Cool video. Do you charge the 2S with the charger that came with the truck? If you do, how long does it take to charge it. Thank you.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Thanks. I did use the charger that came with it. Honestly I don’t know how long it takes because I only used the battery like 2 times and been running 2S and 3S since. I haven’t really sat around and timed it. It does take awhile though.

[@ricardocavaco5338]

Boas o rc aguenta 3s? De origem? O que modificações fez entao?

[@randypark1798]

Hey just asking did you turn up the speed on the controller 50/75/100_? Is the controller a Spektrum SLT 2

[@ReadytoRunRC]

It is a SLT 2 and speed was at 100

[@REVALG]

Hear ratio may be torque rather than speed

[@REVALG]

*gear

[@t3floz]

Nice! Do you know the dimensions of the battery tray? :)

[@ReadytoRunRC]

5.43 inches long 1.77 wide 0.98 high

[@volviqu]

how slow can you tune down the max Speed via remote? need it slow for a kid and fast for me.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Remote has 3 speed settings. 50% 75% and 100%

[@NekoDavid]

Do lipo batteries last longer? The stock battery trait doesn't last very long for me, and takes like 6 hours to charge !!

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Lipos are so much better. They do last longer too and have so much more instant power.

[@user-es7dm2gt5g]

Let it rip

[@ReadytoRunRC]

Heck yeah!

[@TheScappa10]

How long does that nonstock battery last compared to stock

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I can’t tell you in exact minutes but it lasts quite a bit longer. The added punch alone is worth it.

[@kenoman742x]

24-25 mph is pretty good for 1/18 scale, but we need 4wd.

[@ReadytoRunRC]

This is 1/10 scale. 4wd would be great.

[@owen8538]

Get 8cell 4600 nimh or even 5000 7cell nimh stronger or even 3s lipo if you fit 3s reedy an 3s esc

[@ReadytoRunRC]

I been running 3S since I went brushless.

[@owen8538]

@@ReadytoRunRC I liked that one brushed tho I might go brushless soon
