Vintage Gold Pan almost restored, Battery help!

[Draven43302]

Ive almost fully restored my Team Associated RC10, and was wondering about the nicad battery....
Can i Use a 7.2 stick battery or is there something else I should be looking for?

I dont want to damage the receiver, or the motor, so some expert advice would be appreciated!

Thanks
Draven

Yes sir, 7.2 volts is 7.2 volts. You'll be safe with any 6 cell nicad or nimh pack.

Your fine with the 7.2 stick pack. Depending on what chassis you have you may have to relocate the front battery cup.

What kind of electronics are you running? Depending on the answer, you may be able to move up to a Lipo setup, which is sooooo much more fun. I went to Ni-mH which was much better than Ni-Cad but even with a Ni-mH 8.4V vs. a Lipo 7.4V, the Lipo was so much better. Great discharge curve, lots of power at all times =
