Traxxas Titan

If you run 2 6s packs in parallel, you will get much better runtime, and the packs will more efficiently supply high current.

Understood, but this would mean you need to change the stock connector configuration and would also effectively double the weight of the batteries assuming you stick with the same AH rating as the 3s. Another alternative would be to run 4 3s having 2 in parallel and 2 in series which would essentially equate to the same as 2x 6s. Sure looks like there is enough room to do so but then there would not be any room left for sliding them for or aft to adjust weight distribution.

Newbie here. Got a Titan on preorder but at this rate I will most likely be using it on the ice. What type of lipo do I want to order for reliable long runs? It says 6S capable so does this mean I want to order 2x 5000mah 3s batterries since it needs 2 ? Thanks in advance.

With those long battery trays, i still think two of these in parallel would be sweet!

I do too but I want someone else to try first as I am worried about the weight. I am ordering 4 3S 6000mah batteries. 2 for the boat and 2 for backup if I want to run longer. Coud easily make the connections to give me what you have shown above.

Now if they would only get the boat delivery going we may be able to try this out for New Years.

To be quite honest, im glad i didnt order one and get sucked into all the misery of release pushbacks etc................ I think its a bad deal on their part.

Never I have I seen so much written, theorized, rumored, argued about, on something that does not yet exist in the market place. It's been interesting. By the way, can you imagine all the money spent on the "roll out" and then the delivery went down in flames? There were tons of ads run, a full article on the boat in a car magazine, video shot... no boat... I have to think someone is not having a good day at TRAXXAS.

50 mph on a 36mm 2 pole XL motor.... we'll see....

....and how much do you hear aboout that Thunder Tiger OBL outlaw? Not much... They tried to put out a 40" fiberglass mono powered by a 700 watt "watercooled" outrunner...

The only owner I heard about was on Rc universe and it burnt up a motor first and then an esc + motor after that... plus allot of crazy politics between that person & TT. I think TT threatened to sue her to poor gal.

Well Traxxas finally updated their site to November delivery. Good thing I don't need this until May as I have a funny feeling it will be spring before we actually see it. Wonder if they will include an ice prop or maybe a studded prop Maybe they are shooting for a record in the Guinness book of world records? Longest delayed delivery in the history of the RC world. Would be kinda nice if they would at least announce the reason, unforeseen circumstances is getting kinda old.

4 packs for sure
two will only give you a single run of 5-6min or so

Got 4 of the 6000 mah nano tech batts delivered to my door just yesterday. Figuring about 7-8 min run time per set

If the c-rating is too low on those 3600mah packs, they wont be putting out enough amps for the xl motor in the titan.

Maybe traxxass should just stick with cars and trucks and leave their sub par boat selection just that.

I don't want to start any nasty rumors, but could the delay be due to Traxxas re-thinking their decision to have G-Freak build this boat for them ?
