Best Replacement Battery for Axial SCX6

The battery tray size of the 1/6 scale Axial SCX6 can be adjusted up to 170×50mm (L×H). The power system can handle 4s Lipo, so pairing it with two high-capacity 2s Lipo batteries not only significantly extends running time but also balances the weight. Here are the 2 best replacement 2s Lipo batteries for the SCX6. These batteries offer the highest capacity currently available and were handpicked by our RC Crawler team after extensive comparisons and testing. They outperform many other competitors in several aspects.

Considering a variety of performance aspects and overall user experience, my personal preference is the Powerhobby battery. It consistently scores well across multiple metrics, including actual capacity, C-rate, IR, and cell voltage variance. Additionally, the battery’s lifespan and durability are reliably strong.

Battery requirements for Axial SCX6

Capacity: The Axial SCX6 has two large adjustable battery trays, so there is a wide range of battery options. How to estimate the required running time: For the RC crawler, 5000 to 5500mah will provide 60 to 90 minutes of uninterrupted power, while 9000mah will provide more than 2 hours.

Voltage: The SCX6’s power system is capable of handling 4s lipo, so the optimal battery solution is to run two 2s lipo’s, which not only meets the voltage requirements, but also balances the center of gravity of the vehicle on each side of the chassis.

C-rate: SCX6 is a Crawler, it doesn’t require high peak power, therefore, in terms of C-rate, above 50C is enough. We should focus on running time, durability and battery life.

Soft case or hard case: Hardcase is more suitable for Crawler, because it can provide drop resistance and waterproof.
