Traxxas sticks to 25C LiPo batteries for safety and simplicity, but this limit holds back today’s high-power RC systems. Many Slash and X-Maxx owners report puffing and heat under heavy load. Upgrading to CNHL 70C–120C packs delivers stronger punch, cooler temps, and longer runtime — all while fitting directly with EC5 or TRX adapters. Learn why Traxxas chose 25C, and how CNHL unleashes the real power your Traxxas was built for.
