Wondering what battery to run in your 1/10 touring car? Gens Ace is the most popular by a wide margin, and 6000mAh is the most common capacity. We counted the setups saved in the RC Setup App since January 2024: 715 racers named a battery brand. 4WD and FWD cars run the same packs, so we counted them together and point out where they differ.
The percentage under each brand is the share of racers who run it. Counts updated November 2026.

Capacity and C rating
Of the 497 racers who named a capacity, 16% run 6000mAh, 8% run 5000mAh and 8% run 6500mAh. Of the 252 who named a C rating, 21% run 130C, 20% run 140C and 19% run 120C. Touring cars run bigger packs than 1/10 off-road, where 4800mAh is the most common capacity, since a touring car takes a full-size stick pack rather than a shorty.
Most popular battery brands for touring cars
This list covers brands with at least 20 racers. Most racers here run 4WD: of the 715 who named a brand, 14% run FWD. Gens Ace leads in both, and Intellect Pioneering is the brand that leans most toward FWD, at 29% of its racers. Each button goes to a stick pack near the capacity racers name most for that brand.

We count anonymous totals from setups saved in the app for 1/10 electric touring cars, 4WD and FWD. A racer counts once per brand, and once per capacity and C rating, no matter how many setups they've saved. A value only counts if the racer entered it themselves, not if it came along with a copied setup. A brand field naming several brands counts toward none. Specs come from the listing each button goes to.
