Product Overview

The CNHL Lightning LiHV 3500mAh 7.6V 2S 120C LiPo Battery with TRX Plug is built for drivers who want a compact, high-output 2S battery for Traxxas-style mini platforms without moving to a heavier oversized pack.

Compared with the common Traxxas 3500mAh 2S battery format, this pack is positioned as a close alternative in both footprint and use case, while offering a lighter overall weight. That combination matters on small 4X4 platforms where battery mass directly affects steering feel, acceleration, braking response, and how lively the chassis feels through direction changes.

Because this is a LiHV battery, it can be charged to a higher voltage than a standard 2S LiPo. In real driving, that usually translates into a more energetic feel off the line and a sharper response when you get back on throttle. Combined with the 120C continuous discharge rate, this pack is aimed at drivers who want stronger punch without giving up runtime.

For drivers searching for an alternative to the Traxxas 2825X 3500mAh 2S battery, this pack follows the same application concept while offering a lighter overall pack weight.

Compatible RC Models

Based on the official stock-part reference, this battery format is particularly relevant for compact Traxxas platforms such as the Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 and the Mini Slash 4X4. These vehicles use slim 2S battery packs with the TRX connector, making this pack a natural fit for the same style of setup.

Other compact Traxxas vehicles using a 2S TRX battery with similar tray dimensions

For drivers searching specifically for a Mini Slash 4X4 battery or a Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200 battery, this pack follows the same overall concept as the stock 3500mAh Traxxas-style setup: slim dimensions, TRX connector compatibility, and a practical 2S performance range suited to these lightweight 4X4 platforms.

Typical Applications

Traxxas mini 4X4 platforms

Mini rally cars

Compact short-course trucks

Drivers looking for a lighter alternative to the Traxxas 2825X-style 2S pack

2S TRX battery setups requiring strong punch and stable voltage

Why This Battery Makes Sense for Mini Platforms

On small Traxxas vehicles, battery choice changes more than just runtime. A pack that stays close to the stock size while trimming weight can help the chassis feel less bulky in transitions and easier to place on loose surfaces. That is part of why this battery stands out as a practical upgrade path for drivers who want the familiar 2S TRX layout but a more performance-oriented cell package.

If your goal is simply “something that fits like the stock battery, runs the right voltage, and feels a little more lively,” this is exactly the kind of pack worth considering.

FAQ

Is this battery a good alternative to the Traxxas 2825X 3500mAh 2S battery?

Yes, this battery is positioned as a close alternative in terms of application, dimensions, and connector style for the same type of mini Traxxas platforms, while also offering a lighter overall pack weight.

Will this work for Mini Slash 4X4 and Mini Rally VXL Ford RS200?

Based on the stock-part reference you provided, those are the key target platforms for this battery format. As always, confirm tray space and connector fit before ordering.

Why choose LiHV instead of a standard 2S LiPo?

LiHV batteries charge to a higher voltage than standard LiPo packs, which often gives a stronger initial punch and a more responsive driving feel.

What connector does this battery use?

This battery uses a TRX plug, intended for vehicles that require the Traxxas-style battery connector.

Notice

For RC batteries, correct fit depends on both voltage and connector type. Battery dimensions and weight should also be confirmed before use.

This is a LiHV battery. Please stop charging immediately when the cell voltage reaches 4.35V per cell.

Before first use, inspect the battery surface carefully and confirm the voltage is within a normal range.

If a new battery does not hold a full charge at first, use a balance charger and cycle the battery several times before evaluating performance.
