FAQ
Do all Arrma models share the same battery type?
No. Arrma models use different LiPo platforms—3S, 4S, 6S, and 8S—depending on the BLX system. However, each platform’s models can share the same CNHL batteries.
What’s the best Arrma battery for 6S platforms?
The CNHL Racing 6200mAh 6S 90C and Black Series 5000–6000mAh 6S are proven for Kraton, Typhon, and Mojave, giving a perfect mix of punch and runtime.
Can CNHL batteries fit Arrma 8S models?
Yes. Use two matched 4S packs (such as the Racing 9500mAh 4S 90C) in series to achieve 8S voltage. EC5 connectors fit directly into Arrma 8S systems.
Which connector is best for Arrma BLX cars?
Arrma uses IC5 (compatible with EC5). CNHL EC5 or XT90 plugs can be used with adapters for the same fit and power delivery.
How to choose C rating and capacity?
For bashers, pick 70C–90C with 5000–6200mAh. For speed runners or heavy trucks, go 100C+. Higher C ensures less voltage sag and consistent throttle response.
