Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Traxxas RC vehicles is this battery compatible with? — This 3S LiPo battery pack is specifically designed for and compatible with the Traxxas Mini Maxx truck, the Mini XRT VXL-3S (available in red, blue, and green), and the Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 (available in standard, grey, red, and blue colour variants). All of these vehicles are equipped with the Velineon VXL-3s power system that this battery has been engineered to power.
• What charger do I need to charge this 3S LiPo battery? — You will need a dedicated 3-cell LiPo charger equipped with the Traxxas iD charging connector system. It is critical to note that the charger supplied with the Mini XRT will not charge this battery pack, so you must obtain a suitable 3S LiPo charger separately. Traxxas manufacture several iD-compatible chargers designed specifically for their LiPo batteries.
• What speeds and run times can I expect with this battery? — When installed in a Mini Maxx truck with the Velineon VXL-3s system, this battery will deliver top speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour, along with lightning-quick acceleration and responsive handling. The 2300mAh capacity provides substantial run time for extended driving sessions, though exact duration depends on driving style, terrain conditions, and motor efficiency.
• How does the iD battery system make charging safer and easier? — The Traxxas iD battery system incorporates intelligent electronics within the battery connector that communicate with compatible iD chargers. This smart connection prevents reverse polarity charging, ensures the correct charging profile is applied, and protects against incompatible charger damage that could ruin your battery pack, making the iD system fundamentally safer and more foolproof than traditional connectors.
• Is this LiPo battery suitable for beginners in RC hobbies? — Yes, this battery is an excellent choice for RC beginners, particularly if you have purchased a Mini Maxx, Mini XRT VXL-3S, or Mini Rally VXL truck. The Traxxas iD system removes the complexity and safety concerns that surround traditional LiPo charging, making it beginner-friendly. However, you will still need to purchase a suitable 3S LiPo charger separately, as this is not included in the box.
• What is the difference between this and the standard battery that comes with Mini Maxx trucks? — The 2300mAh capacity of this battery pack delivers superior power output and run time compared to smaller capacity batteries, whilst the 25C discharge rating ensures robust performance during high-speed driving and challenging terrain. The iD connector system also provides superior safety and charging convenience compared to older connection standards.
• Can I use this battery in other Traxxas vehicles? — This battery is specifically engineered for Mini Maxx trucks and other 1/18 scale Traxxas models equipped with the Velineon VXL-3s power system. It is not suitable for larger Traxxas vehicles like the Slash, Stampede, or TRX-4, which require 2S or 4S LiPo batteries with different connectors and voltage specifications.
