Should I Run 1 6s or 2 3s in My RC? Lets Break It Down

Okay, so I was messing around with my RC cars the other day, and it got me thinking, “What’s really better: running one 6S battery or two 3S batteries?” I mean, I’ve got both types, and both seem to work, but I figured there’s gotta be a difference, right? So I rolled up my sleeves and decided to do some real-world testing to figure this out.

First off, I grabbed my trusty old monster truck – the one I usually run on a 6S. I made sure the 6S battery was fully charged. Then, I took it out to the backyard. I gunned it across the grass, did some wheelies, and even jumped it off a makeshift ramp I made from some old plywood. I timed how long the battery lasted until the truck started getting sluggish – that’s when I knew the juice was running low.

Next up, the two 3S batteries. Now, I had to do a little bit of rewiring here. I hooked up the two 3S batteries in series, which basically means connecting the positive of one to the negative of the other. This setup gives you the same voltage as a 6S, but I was curious to see if there was any difference in runtime or power.

  • I fully charged both 3S batteries.
  • Connected them in series in the truck.
  • Took the truck out for another spin in the backyard.

I did the same routine as before – speeding, wheelies, jumps, the whole nine yards. And guess what? The runtime was pretty much the same! I mean, give or take a minute or two, which could just be because I was driving a bit differently each time. The power felt the same, too. The truck was just as zippy and responsive with both setups.

So, what’s the verdict?

Well, from my little backyard experiment, it seems like, performance-wise, there’s not a huge difference between one 6S and two 3Ss in series. They both gave me similar runtime and power. But here’s the kicker: using two 3S batteries gives you more flexibility. Like, if one of your 3S batteries goes bad, you still have another one to use with a different car that uses 3S. Or, if you’re just bashing around and don’t need the full 6S power, you can run a single 3S for a more chill session. With a 6S, you’re kind of all-in all the time.

So, there you have it. My hands-on, totally unscientific test suggests that while both setups work great, two 3S batteries might just edge out the single 6S in terms of versatility. It’s all about what you need and how you like to run your RC cars. I am still doing some testing on this to see the subtle differences but this is what I have found so far!
