Title: Ni-Mh ,ma question
Post by: TheOldMan on October 01, 2015, 04:45:24 pm

I am new and ignorant of these things, in my italeri vosper MTB,I have 2 RE 380 motors, 3-7.2v,max 4.5A. The battery I have are 6 cell AA Ni-Mh, 7.2v 2600ma. I want to run a higher ma in the hope of longer run times . How high can I go?  Will I be OK with a 3800 mAh Ni-Mh ? Forgot to mention the speed controller is a Viper marine 15.

No problem at all OM
There are 5000ma minus out there.
Your voltage is staying the same.
You are just fitting bigger fuel tanks.
