Traxxas vs Spektrum | 2S 5000 mAh LiPo Battle | RC Street Wars Dyno Shootout Round 3 In Round 3 of our RC Battery Dyno Shootout, we’re turning up the amps and putting two of the most popular Ready‑To‑Run batteries head‑to‑head! Both are trusted by everyday RC enthusiasts — but which one really delivers the power on the dyno? ⚡ Traxxas TRA2842X – 5000 mAh 2S 7.4 V 25C (50C burst) – $59.95 ⚡ Spektrum SPMX52S100H5 (G2) – 5000 mAh 2S 7.4 V 100C IC5 – $59.95 ⚡ Bonus Test: Spektrum SPMX50002S50H5 (Original 50C) – $54.95 We wanted to know: 👉 Does the 100C G2 really produce twice the performance of its 50C predecessor? 👉 Can Traxxas’ 25C (50C burst) keep up with the big claims? 👉 Is there truth in the label — or are we just buying numbers on a sticker? Using our lab‑grade RC Street Wars dynamometer, we put each pack through industry‑standard, SAE‑style testing to record: Real torque output (via load‑cell) Power curves and simulated vehicle speed Internal resistance and discharge behavior Performance per gram and per dollar The results might surprise you… 🎖 Special Thanks This episode is made possible through the support of SC2NY RC Shop (Rock Hill, SC) — a veteran‑owned small business serving the RC community.
