Run-Time, Run-Time, Run-Time....and also Racer Spec! Which part do you like? 🤔
Hello mate,ive got my kraton today with 2 batteries 2s..could i use 2 batteries 4s on my kraton 8s?all help is welcome
@@miguelsousa2892 If you have the Kraton 8s, yes, you can use the (2) 4s packs I have listed....It will get you some crazy run time on those
@@TheRCNetwork thank you my friend..will the car ve faster with 2 5s batteries??im trying it now for the 1 first
Just bought two of the 8000mah 3s lipos for my Kraton 6s v5. Runtime and power is great! Semi mild with the throttle gave me more then an hour driving time.
Nice! Yeah, drive time is crazy. I think most people will end up breaking/needing tires before their battery dies now.
@@TheRCNetwork for sure. I stopped driving and the batteries weren’t even dead yet. Amazing performance and backed with the gens ace warranty, like you said, great product.
Is this with stock pinion r3tardotron😳
@@gonzodetroitify correct, stock pinion. Haven’t tested the batteries with the high speed pinion. Only drive off road in the dunes. Enough speed for me.
hi, i know this is a old post. but i just bought a 6s. does 2 of 8000 mah 3s batteris fit kraton 6s? can you please tell me the which 8000 mah you have purchased. thanks
I like the design and chose the 8000mah 3S for it's versatility to fit in almost everything. Looking forward to even more sizes and voltages to become available in the future.
The 8000mah were my first....."I gotta run those". Still can't believe the run time.
Perfect review Rich! You help me out with my choice of the right lipo for my new Vortex. Thanks!
Glad to help, buddy! They're great batteries!
@Marc how are they holding up in the vortek ?
I've ran these gens ace once on my K8S and they have outperformed everything I've tried before hands down.
They are great batteries!
Might have too check these out... great review 👍🏾💪🏾💯
Thanks Linden - they should be in stock here soon
Great video Rich! I just bought some power hobby 8000mah 4s batteries for my Kraton 8s. They come in at 22ounces. I can't imagine putting in anything bigger due to weight. The extra mAh would be nice in these thirsty 1/5 scale systems!
Yeah, I was even nervous putting the 8K's in the Mojave....the 15K's in the Infraction were fine
@@TheRCNetwork 🤤😱Yh 15k
I purchased the 11000 mah 4s batteries for my 8s outcast and they did not fit in the trays, even after moving the battery boxes all the way out…. I did have to modify the trays but man is it worth it!!… these batteries go a long time, if you are willing to modify your battery trays I would definitely recommend these batteries!!
Good to know....I didn't have an 8s to test....just went with what GensAce said. I agree, the batteries for for days, it seemed like
These batteries look sweet,
But I really wish Gens Ace would have reached out to the Hardcore Basher community beforehand as these are way too big and heavy. They are for Bashing but the weight can cause breakages because of the weight. Great effort and I like the thought, but they should have tried to target the weight of a standard 6s 5400mah with maybe more mah.... I think whatever truck I run I would break it 5 times before I run down a 11000mah 😂😉
Even 8000mah is way more than most need.
For 8s 2x 7000mah tops IMHO, and 6s nothing more than 6000mah I prefer because of the weight.
11000 and 15000 in a Kraton 8s😢😔😂😂
Performance fantastic.... But please Gens Ace us Hardcore Bashers don't need the weight or MAH.... My 2 Cents... Hope I don't come across too negative.
Appreciate the time and the video though brother 😎👍
Yes I agree plus the motor usually needs a cool down break seems no matter what the setup they start to get warm after a little bashing I run 4500 mah that gets me plenty of run time it's light and by the time its dead the motor and esc is happy to have a break😀👍
GensAce will have more options for the "bashing" series here soon - these are just the first three. But, honestly, the 8000mah is not much heavier than a standard 5000mah 3s pack.....but definitely lower in CG, as it's longer (especially for the saddleback trucks) As it is, there's hundreds of options for 5k-6k packs. Def. not negative and I appreciate the feedback - I always appreciate seeing you in the comments!
I run the old gens Ace bashing 5000Mah as they whey in at only 300g a piece 😁
So true. I am not interested putting over 1kg of battery in my rigs. I like lightweight vehicles. In terms of running time its enough for me to have 15mins per vehicle. Then i want to change to another car anyway.
I like my 4500mAh 3s/6s packs. And if i destroy one of them its not that much money.
But i like the innovation. The housing looks interesting. Between Hard- and Softcase. Hopefully the will release this kind of Lipos with less mAh and weight.
Another great review! Thanks Rich!
Thanks for stopping by, Gabe!
Cool ! Rich with a new video thanks love your RC vids
Thanks for watching Joe! New videos every week!
Thanks for the informative video...great work as usual 🍻
Now if only they would be in stock 😕😕😕
The 3s 8000mah is in stock now at Amain - link in the description! The rest should be next week-ish
I kind of want to modify a Arrma 6S to fit the 15000mah batteries, wonder if that would be possible. will probably just buy the 8000s.
I'd stick with the 8K - the 15K will make the 6s line handle weird from the added weight. Probably cause some heat issues as well
I already have some on order. Just waiting for them to come.Think I was getting maybe 10 minutes of rum time on my K8s.
That will be drastically improved now!
If I get a 1/5 scale, I will definitely consider these! They seem to be the real deal.
They're pretty solid, especially for anything running 3S and above
Has anyone tried it in a Traxxas sledge? Is it possible to
I certainly would consider these. Right now I am trying all venom choices ( available at my local hobby shop) These things can get costly
The GensAce packs are great - I'd consider them over the Venom offerings....I know that Venom are readily available at local shops, but there's so much better options out there.
I have the 3s 8000 for my 2wd VLX Slash. it's perfect size for ripen up the beach.,
price is a steal.
Gens is on a roll
Nice to know it fits the Slash 2wd! Thanks for stopping by
@@TheRCNetwork sure thing, thanks for reminding me I needed to order a few batteries from Gens. been my go to for a bit now.
Yep, that's all I use now.....They pretty much have something for everything (race/bash/crawl)
Will the 8000mAh 100c 11.1V 3S1P work and fit the new Arrma Vorteks 4x4 BLX 3S?
Yep, that's what I ran in mine. Solid 45+ minutes of drive time
Thanks..
Wow that is wild looks like fun
Thanks buddy!
I like to put 5000mah lipos on a limitless or Felony due to weight, for bashing they sound great though
Yeah, I can see that!
I need a 3s 2pole battery.. Highest mah as possible.. So I can fit an external 2s battery for the cooling system for the motor fan and esc.. So it can fit in my typhon 6s I just got on sale
These should be good....just double check the dimensions.....Also, the Typhon has the lowest body height, so be aware of that - the height of the battery
Is there any noticeable power difference between the 100c 8000 mah and the 120c 6800 mah I'm not sure which I should get
Not noticeable, power wise. run time, yes
Nice batteries and good video!
Thanks for watching, Stue!
Hey Rich. I got two of the 8000mah 3s bashing lipos. I can get both batteries in the tray. But I can’t get the body on. Are you able to get them into a typhon? Also I couldn’t fit one into my vorteks. Yes I did remove the little battery holder. Thanks
11000 4s for $120 with a $10 coupon code. I gotta have it!
Get it! Thanks for watching!
Spectrum better start making batteries like this too with their smart chargers and smart batteries.
No offense to Spektrum, but they don't make the batteries...I'm sure one of the 4 Lipo companies do.....I like the integration of the balance plug....but it makes for custom installs tough
These lipos sound great bud! May have to try a set in Xmaxx and 1/5 Baja 5B 8S w/ Hobbywing Max 5 and a 960kv motor!👍
The run time is ridiculous and so much power!
I know it gonna cost me but probably going with this battery over the zee?? Gonna come down to cost..thanks for posting great set up on the review...I'm now following or rather subscribing!! From Georgia..
The GensAce packs are solid...have been around for 10+ years and actually have support in the US if you need it
I got gens 1100 4s but only spectrum s2100 ,don't know how 2 charge
Any decent balancing lipo charger should work for those.
Hi really enjoyed this battery review and subbed.🙂
When you tested the 2x3S 8000mah lipo's, were you running the Mojave at 100% power?
Yes, Keep in mind my Mojave is the EXB version, so I used a custom electronics set up, so speed/torque will vary...but I was very pleased with the set up
@@TheRCNetwork No worries appreciate the reply thank you!🙂
Is there a 20000 mha coming out? Are they also making some high voltage ones that have the same mha?
Not sure....I know GensAce has plans to release several more of these Bashing Series packs...I'm sure if they can fit 20K in the space, they will
What charger do you use to charge does
I use my Team Orion Duo Touch Screen charger - super easy to use, lots of power....here's a link: bit.ly/2zfeach
My SKYRC Q200 & HTRC T240 pushes them perfectly 👍🏾
Can someone answer this question why do the batteries pop when I connect to my kreaton 8s
Because you’re plugging in 30+ volts. There are plugs that have spark reducers.
Hiii! Does the 3S 8000mah fits in the rival mt10? Great video!!!
They were intended for the Arrma vehicles...but may fit. Check the dimensions of the Rival's battery tray and they specs on the GensAce site.
@@TheRCNetwork thank you very much!
Hi there I would like the 8000 mah 100c with the ec5 for my arrma felony 6s where do I find your website cheers
does that mojave have same tray as the exb kraton. I need new batteries and am worried about the size
Yep, same ones. Pretty much all of the 6s cars/trucks have them....except for the Infraction, Felony and Limitless
@@TheRCNetwork great. Thanks for reply.
Are these Smart batteries? so that our controller will see power level or ??? sorry i'm new into the hobby. Do GensAce sell G2 smart batteries ?
No, as far as I know, only the Spektrum batteries are capable of that..but you need all of the components. Most modern ESC's to have LVC (low voltage cut off) - meaning you can set the ESC to automatically cut off when your battery hits a certain voltage. you never want to discharge your battery past a certain voltage
Can I run one of the 8000 mah on my arrma typhon 3s? Have not seen anyone mention it so O have no clue
The issue with the typhon is the body height. It will likely hit the inside of the body
How does the 15000mah lipo fit in the big rock crew cab? Hobby store website said it was compatible
It should drop right in
I run those two 3S 8000/100C in my Mojave.... you might have clearance issues stacking both those in the 6S typhon battery tray due to the lower rear end of the body shell? 🤔
Yes, I believe typhon would be tough.....it's listed on the GensAce website though 🤔
Everything's fine using that brand in a boat ?
I'm not a boat guy, but I don't see why not if you're using regular Lipos in your boat now
Thank you very much, can I charge these Batts using smart spektrum charger?
You should be able to, these batteries have an EC/IC compatible connector and a balance adapter. It should work
What is the max amp deliverd by the 4s on burst ?
It's a simple equation, but likely much higher than any ESC can handle
@@TheRCNetwork numbers are one thing but realty another thing, tests proof that, if you had watt meter to measure it under load that would be great
I'm not an electrical engineer nor a math genius. What I can provide is the experience I had while using these batteries in stellar examples of cars they were intended for. With that, they're great batteries that provide a great performance - both punch and power AND runtime is ridiculous. If you're looking for charts and graphs, this is not the place...plus you'll find that many companies lie about their stats anyway.
I want to beef my granite 4x4 battery n charger 2 the best i can get. Can anybody recommend to me what they would buy?
Grab a decent ProTek charger or even the GensAce Mars...all good
Hey I have questions what size will fit for the arrma fireteam 6s
Not a clue....never had the firestorm and it wasn't out when these were released. I would compare the battery tray size in the fireteam vs. these ones I listed
@The RCNetwork okay let me know and thanks for respond back to me
U could run just one of the 4s 15000mah packs in the 6s vehicles as well correct? Since the esc can handle 4s or 6s
Yes, of course. you will need to run the jumper wire (usually included) on one of the plug ends and the 4s pack in the other
@@TheRCNetwork that’s what i figured. Wanted to confirm. Great channel. Thanks
When you get the gens batteries do you charge them or can start using them
All Lipos come from the factory in a storage mode - so usually 3.85v/cell or half way charged. You can use them right away, but they’re only half way charged. You should never leave a Lipo either drained or fully charged more than a day. Always return them to storage charge when not in use. If you’re new to Lipos, please read up on all of the rules….they can be quite dangerous and potentially deadly if misused.
Does anybody happen to know if that 15,000 milliamp one will fit into a Traxxas Slash 4x4
Not even close....
@@TheRCNetwork thank you I ended up going with the 8000
Question folks....I have a Kraton 6s BLX...would you run 2 of these 8k batteries or 1 6s battery and why? I'm new to RC world. Thanks!
I always opt for two 3s batteries….as they’re more versatile being able to use them in other RC’s and overall easier to charge/balance. Plus if one cell goes bad in a 6s, the entire battery is gone vs. only losing one battery in two 3s’s
Does the body fit on the typhon if you use 2 3s batteries? I haven’t seen any hard case batteries that can be used and the body still fits.
yeah, that has been noted by others.....I don't currently have a typhoon to test
Hmm, I could use some fresh packs.
They're pretty decent
@@TheRCNetwork I've had good luck with gens ace.
will one of these 10000 mah batteries fit on a tmaxx classic converted to 6s? with the arrma blx 6 motor and esc?
No idea....measure your battery box on the conversion and check the spec from the link I provided
I just got 2 of the 8000mah 100c ant got to run them yet 😢😥
Get out there and run them!
What about charger options?
I use the Team Orion Touch Duo - amazing charger
What price point might we be looking at?
I have links in the description 😃
Will the six s off these fit the exb kraton 6s
Yep, it will drop right in
I'm worried about weight. I currently have a Big Rock v3 and it has a spektrum 5000mah 50c. is there a big weight difference between that and the 8000mah 3s? Will the extra weight effect my trucks performance and balance?
Two things - weight wise, you're adding 125 grams (375 on the spectrum vs 500 on the GensAce). Second - the GensAce is spread over a length of 157mm vs the Spektrum at 138mm. Both are the same height (35mm for the Spektrum and 34mm for the GensAce). So, yes, a bit heavier but 40% more run time....a much better performing battery (100C vs. 50C on the Spektrum) and the same center of gravity, but possibly better with more weight down low with the GensAce
@@TheRCNetwork the gensace being 100c, I'll get more power out of it correct?
C rating is how fast the battery can discharge..meaning it can feel a bit faster or punchier. Keep in mind, C ratings are not regulated, so anyone can put any rating they want on batteries and there's not really a way to check other than using it and comparing. I've compared and these feel great. Lot's of punch
@@TheRCNetwork I know these questions are silly but I'm brand new to this. Looking for the best all around battery to keep me going without any negatives so to speak.
The 11000mah DO NOT FIT the outcast 8s and yes I moved the tray all the way back you tube lied hope they fit the 5ive b also they fit the xmaxx but you can’t close the latch
I definitely want to try these out!
However, if you think 2 of the 8000mAh 3S batteries will fit in the Typhon..... 🙄🤣 no chance! No way in hell are you gonna get the body on with 68mm (34 each) of battery height. If you can, by all means, please show me what I'm doing wrong lol
I hadn't tested in a typhon....although the GensAce website states it will...but I agree, that's the most limiting body of the 6s lineup. I had the V1 and V4 way back and had issues fitting smaller 5000mah 4s packs
Anyone have a recommendation for my 6s kraton rtr???
I know he's reviewing 3s batteries I'm just wondering are these the best for a 6s Kraton?
Yes, two of the 3s packs would work great for the Kraton - they're the "goto" batteries at this point.....I would always opt to have two 3s packs over one 6s. 3s packs are less volatile and pack 11.1v vs 22.2v. Less risk in my book
Do you know if these will still come with XT90's aswell as EC5??
At this point, only EC5’s as they’re intended for Arrma’s current RTR line up. Some of the older Arrma’s do have XT90’s and before that even a T style of Deans style plug.
@@TheRCNetwork Yep I am still using my v1 kraton 6s. I switched it over to xt90 from the dean style connectors. Guess if I buy the kraton 8s I should probably switch to EC5s. Also do you know if the 4s bashing battery will fit in my kraton 6s? Two of them would fit in the kraton 8s correct?
TRUE 100C its a 8000 mAh battery or 8 amp hours 8*11.1 is 88.8 not 100C and this is assuming the battery has 0 resistance... Love how quotes are made but no numbers were ran to check the advertising.
Honestly, it's all marketing...C ratings that is. Same with Graphene. I tested the batteries and they ran great in comparison. There's my test
Will the 9000 fit in an E-Revo 2.0
Not sure in that one.....check your battery box dimensions and compare
No way
The erevo has a minuscule battery box it can’t even fit 650mah sorry bro
With all these cars at 15,000 what is the run time of it?
Gosh - way over an hour...I'd estimate 1.5+ hours. My 8000mah lasted at least 40-45 minutes of mixed driving off-road. and it was only on storage voltage at the end (so a good 10-15 minutes more).
@@TheRCNetwork I wish they would make these batteries also fit 10th scales like Tamiyas an kyoshos, I wish they would have a high capacity 2s.too.
I'm sure that Arrma was their first target audience for the bashers....I'm not sure how Kyosho and Tamiya will fit into the "basher" series and most people won't bash those and they usually run on 2s.
Those 3s 8000mah won't fit the typhon 6s without bulging the body. Will only fit around 50mm.
Gotcha....I haven't had a Typhon in a while....GensAce has it listed on their website, which is why I listed it - thanks for the info
Looks good but every where I look it's out of stock
Yes, they will be released here soon. They'll be available first on the link down in my video description.
Hi they will be back to stock around this weekend~ Stay tuned ~
I need help please! I am gonna buy 2 of the 3S 100c 8000mAh for my Kraton 6S, but how do I charge safely? Also, do they cut off when they get at 3.3V? I am new to non Traxxas LiPo’s. Thank you guys! 👍👍
You'll need a decent Lipo balancing charger to charge them - don't go cheap on this item! For the LVC (low voltage cutoff) that's controlled by your ESC - it's usually 3.3 or so...but should be controllable with most decent ESC's
@@TheRCNetwork Thanks for the advice! Also, in the long run, should I consider the 8S? It’s my first Arrma but not my first RC 👍 thank you
Good morning in using lipo battey but I'm not sure, I can find my good charger, can a used a small eco power electron 44ac? Is only have 4.0 amp max? Thanks
Those are soft case basically and don't fit in a lot of the arrmas. Kind of a bummer
They're kind of a hybrid (Soft/hard). They fit in the Arrma's at the time of their release - I have them listed in the video
Get some real good runtime of them big o batteries
Yep, like hours, not minutes!
will this be good for my 85a firma ESC/ 3300Kv spektrum combo? Im also planning on putting a 21tooth spur gear as well. Well this cook my setup?
In what truck?
@@TheRCNetwork does it matter? its a 1/10 im sure its about the same as any 1/10 car.
I just need to know if this battery is good and wont fry my setup.
Vice - just trying to give you an informed answer...not just the typical "FaceBook: Yeah Bro, you'll be fine". Is it going in a Traxxas Slash 2wd and you want to run in knee high grass? 22t in Slash is way different than a 22t in an Arrma. You know, gear rations, pinion pitch, etc. 1/10th scale means different things to different vendors - the Tekno MT410 is called 1/10th scale, but it's the same size as an Arrma 1/8th scale 6s Outcast - go figure, right? There's also 1/10th scale touring cars/drift cars, scalers, crawlers - hell even drag cars - all completely different sizes, gear ratios, and intended uses. Lastly, this is a long length battery, not all RC's can take it....it was designed to fit Arrma's 3s, 6s and 8s trucks - including the connector. Do you have an EC5 connector on the Firma ESC? Does your truck have an expandable tray like the Arrma's? Have fun with RC and absorb information, my friend.
@@TheRCNetwork Its an IC3, has a 48 pitch 17t pinion gear. Its a truggy sized rc car. I believe it has 4 gears tranny, 5 if you count the pinion thats meshed to an 87t 48 pitch plastic circuit gear bruh.
@@vicerichter1163 yet, still you couldn’t let me know what truck it is.....good luck with your hobby.
Wow
Thanks for watching, Glenn!

Hey what charger can I use to charge the battery?
Any good Lipo battery charger will charge these. Make sure you have the correct connector as well for the charger to go up to the GensAce battery connector
Do you have a recommendation for a good lipo charger
I run the Team Orion Touch Duo charger. For the money and the interface (touchscreen) I love it. There's some great ones from Hitec, Protek and GensAce as well.
