Hi thanks for that i have upgraded to deans connectors,why do i need a low voltage alarm? also can yo recommend Lipos to use thank you.@ray1956 I'd upgrade those connectors to Deans or EC3 connectors and then make sure you are using a low voltage alarm as the 309 ESC does not have any kind of cut off protection.

I like SMC and Gens Ace LiPo batteries and would recommend them to anyone.can yo recommend Lipos to use thank you.
Ok thank you should i use 4 or 6 cell batterys?They simply plug into the balance connector of your LiPo battery. As long as the alarm is made for the size battery you are using, you're good.
for example:

so you are saying i can use (2) LiPo 3 cell battery's or would it be better with (2) 2 cell LiPoFrom what I can see, that ESC can only handle a single 3s battery. Or two 6 cell NiMH batteries. Though, if you assume that since it says it can take two 6 cell NiMH batteries and fully charged on those is 1.5V per cell, it can theoretically take 18V. It's possible the ESC can handle 4s. But it will be your judgement call on that.

so you are saying i can use (2 )7.2v 3 cell LiPo

Okay is there a replacement esc so I can use LiPo .....sorry to be a painNo, the 7.2V batteries are NiMH. You should be able to run a 3s LiPo battery, and possibly a 4s (or two 2s) LiPo battery. But be very careful, the ESC was not meant for LiPo.
So will it run on 1 LiPo batterysounds like you need some reading on use and care of LiPo batteries, there is alot of great info at Maxamps.com about LiPo stuff a 2 cell LiPo runs at 7.4 volts...

there is also lots of needed info on the web......
do you know what its worth?
