I'm going to be getting a 6s Arrma soon ? and just wanted some advice..

Is it best to go with one 6s battery or 2 x 3s batteries..??

Cost wise I've seen a few deals either way...

Any input or advice welcome..??

I'd always get 2X3S, as I'd use them in other cars as well.

same here mond, i only use 2 lipos either.

i find that if the 6s lipo breaks then thats the end of it but with 2 lipos, what are the chance of 2 lipos breaking?  if one breaks then you still have the other.

On my Arrma Outcast I use 2x3s and single 6s packs. It's never been a problem charging or using them

I don't think necessarily one way or the other has any benefit over the other but I decided for my 6S that I just wanted a single battery.

For me I didn't want to be faffing around with two batteries. Happy with my choice.

I prefer a single 6s. I can charge my 2 x 6s at the same time (without faffing around with serial charging) and then storage charge them together as well. Saves a little time on charging 4 x 3s.

The benefit is I can't use a 6S in 4 of my other cars, but I can use 3S.

New Arrma's use IC5 connectors I believe ...

I believe the Arrma has serial XT90 connectors:

You can use one of these on one of the connectors to loopback and allow you to use a single 6S. You will need one if you are using a single pack.

Obviously its easy to make one yourself if you have a decent soldering iron

The V3 versions do use a "loopback" connector which is included with the Arrma vehicles as standard when new so no need to buy or make one separately. ?

Yes according to everything I've read the V4's do use IC5/EC5 connectors as you say.

Generally I find that 1x6s is cheaper than 2x3s. Cost is the main driving force for me.

Is it better to run 2 3S or 1 6S?

Only real advantage of 2 3s packs is some chargers can charge a 3s pack at a higher rate than a 6s pack. A 50w charger can only charge 6s at 2A, but can charge a 3s pack at 4A. So if you had a dual 50w charger then you could charge twice as fast.

Is a 3S LiPo better than a 2S LiPo?

So if you have a brushless motor with a rating of 3,500kV, that motor will spin 3,500 RPM for every volt you apply to it. On a 2S LiPo battery, that motor will spin around 25,900 RPM. On a 3S, it will spin a whopping 38,850 RPM. So the more voltage you have, the faster you're going to go.

Is 3S LiPo faster than 2S?

Look at any battery as v is speed and mah is run time. So yes if the 3s has more voltage which 3s should then it will be faster. But if you buy a 3s 4500mah lipos and a 2s 5000mah lipo the 2s will have a longer run time.

What does 2S 3S LiPo mean?

Each LiPo cell is rated at 3.7v so a 2S LiPo means it's a 2 cell battery and 7.4v, a 3S is 11.1v, 4S is 14.8v and 6S is 22.2v.
