Direct Fit 3s LIPO Power for Haiboxing 16890a! The LiperiAir 850 mAh 3s - Speed Runs and Fun!

[@il21broncos]

Great video! Just to verify, direct fit on this also means I just purchase the battery and plug it in? Or does it still need a new connector or some crimping done?

[@BriansRCStuff]

Thank you! Great question/point. It came with an XT30 so I had to solder in a deans to match the stock connector in the HBX truck! Most LIPOs this size seem to die with XT30 connectors… guess they are used a lot in the drone world.

@@BriansRCStuff thank you for the reply, have you ever ran any upgraded batteries that would be a direct fit connection wise to the HBX? I just purchased the HBX and would like a battery that has decent run time and good power but I've never soldered anything before so not sure if I'd do it correct or not lol

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@il21broncos I don’t remember seeing much in 3S that has a Deans connector. A little later tonight I can look around and double check. Are you sure you want 3S? It is quite spicy! I have heard of some people that have had their stock ESC cut out running 3s (I had no issues). Your local hobby shop might be able to solder you one on for a really cheap… Mine has helped me with some things that were too small for my soldering abilities…. Just charged me for the connectors.

@@BriansRCStuff I'm a speed junky lol but with that said, if I got a good 2S battery what do you think it would run? Still at least 25 MPH or so?

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@il21broncos I have over 20 in Videos testing my HBX 16890A. If that is the model you have, it will go close to 25… I would have to go back and double check how fast mine went in my videos. I upgraded the motor and ESC and got it as fast as 57 miles an hour. Here is the playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLvljFhULHkefc8RQ-9OQuqTCl1oI98Qnd&si=wxVMVpwW0d6T8svN

That Liperiair was holding up like a champ! That's quality in my book. Awesome speed runs brother.

[@BriansRCStuff]

Thanks for checking it out.

Thanks for the video, good stuff!

[@BriansRCStuff]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@gamesgonenuts]

wow that is so fast leaving a like

[@scappellos]

I found a 3s 1000mAh 25C same size, I hope that it'll work too!

[@BriansRCStuff]

Nice! Are you able to GPS it? Let me know how you make out!

[@scappellos]

@@BriansRCStuff I was thinking to attach an old phone to check the speed limit, I'm just wondering if I did the right thing to buy a 25C instead of 80C as you. Till today did you have any issues with your car using a 3S? (I've got the 16889a pro that should be quite the same, the esc not so sure if it is 25A or 35A)

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@scappellos as you may well know, most C ratings are total horseshit and you cannot reliably compare ratings from one company to another or even within n company in some cases. That being said the LIPO you got may be a bit underwhelming. I have found my HBX doesn’t draw a whole lot of amps so even if it is lower performance it may not be as obvious as it could be in a setup with more demand on the LIPO. I am curious how much that LIPO weighs, the dimensions,and if it it is truly 1,000 mAh (seems it would have to be a bit taller than my 850 3s LIPOs if it is going to fit. Do you have a link to the LIPO? I have only run about 10 packs through my truck at three ass and I don’t go completely nuts with it… And avoid for to reverse and vice versa when driving it to abuse on the gearbox but so far so good. I am pretty sure your ESC is 25 A where mine is 35A. I have tons of videos where I used a cell phone as a GPS. Not as ideal in a small truck like the HBx but it can work.

[@RayRiv73]

I use a Zop power 3s 1300mah 20c with my stock 16889a pro.

[@BriansRCStuff]

Nice, what kind of speeds are you getting with it?

[@RayRiv73]

@BriansRCStuff sorry but I don't have a gps to tell but if I'd had to take a guess...easily over 35mph. I just bought surpass 2845 4200kv and a 35a esc and dumbo remote to installing mine.

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@RayRiv73 nice! That should definitely give it a little kick in the pants!

[@magnusstone]

Does it fit in the stock tray all the way?

[@draxxthemsklounst]

What kind of run time are you getting with 850mah?

[@BriansRCStuff]

I have never really timed it but on pavement I am thinking at least 10 min and maybe closer to 15. I remember thinking it ran longer than unexpected especially for how well it performed!

@@BriansRCStuff Hello bro thank you very much for your help I will buy this car hbx 1/16 .5.2CH 2.4G integrated brushless ESC / receiver, 3 wire servo 6. Brushless motor power, super battery power: 7.4V, 1000Mah Lipo battery. I will buy a 2slipo 2200 mah battery as a spare battery, will it be heavy on the car, will it increase its speed? Or if I buy a 3s 2600 mah 25c 11.7volt battery, will it damage the differential and drivetrain of the car? What spare battery should I get with the hbx car, please help, thanks.

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@emrebagrack7858 nice, I have been really happy with mine overall. It does have a more toy like feel that a 1/10 scale bit is really quick on 3S.

[@emrebagrack7858]

@@BriansRCStuff Doesn't 3s motors damage the differential and drivetrain?

[@BriansRCStuff]

@@emrebagrack7858 so far so good… but I don’t go forward to reverse or beat on it too hart… ease into it most of the time. I did a gearbox inspection video and so far mine is okay

[@davidseychell]

This motor is e crap...put castle motor 0808 and fly

[@BriansRCStuff]

Whatever man, it was worked flawlessly for me and provides as much power as the car can handle. I put in a cheap 5900 kv 2845 that would mop the floor with a Castle 0808 but it is honestly too powerful. A properly sized Castle is too expensive for this inexpensive car anyway....

[@vapedog40]

Where can you find the battery connector?

[@BriansRCStuff]

You can get connectors on Amazon, or AMain Hobby. The battery is out of stock, but I was told it should be back in stock in June sometime. Let me know if that does not answer your question.
