Hi all,
I would first like to say that I understand that this question may be a bit off topic for a forum mainly based on fixed-wing and multirotor RC vehicles, but I thought that some of you veteran RC'ers out there might know what I can do.
I found an old, most likely 1/16th scale RC car after moving house, I remember it working really well many years ago, but it's 12v valve regulated lead acid battery didn't take well to four years in storage and as far as I can tell is completely dead.
My question is, can I replace this battery with a 3s LiPo or 10s NiMH? Or are the ESCs not able to handle newer batteries?
It is a 4x4 powered by 2 brushed motors if that is any help.
Thank you for any information as it will help greatly
