Best LiPo Battery for FMS 1/7 Ford Bronco RTR EB

The FMS 1/7 Bronco RTR EB looks and drives like a scaled-down desert racer. It looks like it just rolled off a Baja 1000 course and into your backyard—and with 6S LiPo support, it drives like it too. But here’s the catch: Without the right battery, all that 6S power goes to waste. In this guide, we’ll help you find the best CNHL LiPo battery to match your driving style—whether you’re blasting dunes, crawling trails, or just want longer run time without sacrificing punch.

What Makes the Bronco So Demanding?

The Bronco RTR EB stands apart from typical trail rigs—it’s built to run hard. With its officially licensed Ford + RTR body, heavy-duty suspension, and brushless power system capable of 50mph speeds, the Bronco RTR EB requires serious, stable energy delivery. Cheap or underpowered packs will sag, overheat, or cut out under throttle. That’s why every battery we recommend here is field-tested to meet the demands of this beast.

Top Pick for Performance: CNHL 5200mAh 6S 90C

Want to unlock the Bronco’s full desert-crushing potential? Start here. The CNHL Racing Series 5200mAh 22.2V 6S 90C LiPo is purpose-built for heavy-duty power delivery. It provides strong voltage stability at high RPMs, letting your Bronco reach those advertised 50mph speeds without sag or thermal shutdown.

The EC5 plug makes for direct, plug-and-play compatibility with the RTR EB’s stock ESC—no adapters, no soldering. And the pack fits neatly in the battery tray, leaving enough room for airflow and strap clearance.

Many RC car drivers swear by it after trying a few packs—it just works—not just for speed, but for reliability. If you're bashing hard and want all the power your truck can handle, this is the one.

Lightweight 6S Alternative: CNHL Black Series 4000mAh

Not every trail calls for max voltage. If you value lighter weight, sharper steering response, or plan on crawling over rocks and roots, the CNHL Black Series 4000mAh 6S 65C LiPo is a smart alternative.

Dropping down to a 4000mAh pack saves grams where it matters—especially up front. The result? Less understeer, quicker suspension response, and a more agile feel through tight corners. It won’t run as long as the 5200mAh, but it feels faster through the hands.

Many drivers use this pack for forest trails, rock sections, or technical hill climbs. You’ll trade a bit of runtime for more control—but on tight trails, it’s worth it.

Looking for Smoother Power? Try This 4S HV Beast

Now let’s talk about a surprising alternative: 4S. While the RTR Bronco is built for 6S, it handles 4S incredibly well—especially if you value smooth throttle control and extra runtime. The CNHL Racing Series LIHV 8200mAh 15.2V 4S 120C Hard Case LiPo is massive in capacity and offers incredible efficiency.

It’s a great option if you’re exploring trails, towing gear, or just want longer driving sessions with less stress on the ESC and drivetrain. And because it’s LIHV (High Voltage), you’re getting a little extra energy compared to standard 4S packs.

For newer RC drivers, 4S delivers more forgiving throttle and longer sessions between charges. If you’re not racing full tilt, this pack offers a lot of advantages.
