About this LiPo battery
We rate it at 25C rather than printing an optimistic burst figure, because a brushless 1/16 car pulls hard off the corner and a pack that sags there feels slow even when the label says otherwise. It carries the same connector as the packs we box with the trucks, so it goes in as a second pack with no adapter. Charge it with the three cell lead — a two cell cable will not balance the third cell, and that is the usual way a good pack is ruined.
Where it sits in the HYPER GO RC car range
The 3S2000 is part of our LiPo Batteries & Charging shelf, which carries 4 parts for the MJX HYPER GO range. Model code 3S2000 is the number every listing here is keyed to: quote it and the gears, shocks, wheels and bodies that suit this chassis all line up. It is a service part rather than a vehicle, so check the fits row before you order.
Fit and compatibility
This part is listed against the chassis named in its title. Those codes are stamped on the chassis plate under the body; photographs are a poor guide at this scale, because neighbouring versions differ by a couple of millimetres and look identical. If the plate on your car is unreadable, send us a picture with the shell off and we will tell you which version you have.
Living with it
Charge this pack with the cable made for its cell count, never in the car, and let it cool for twenty minutes after a run. Store it at about half charge if it is going in a drawer.

Questions about the 3S2000
- Which HYPER GO RC car does this fit?
- The chassis listed in the fits row above. Connectors are common across the range, but check the battery bay length before moving a pack between scales.
- Can I charge it from a wall adapter?
- Through the matched USB charging cable, yes. Do not use a charger intended for a different cell count — the cables are specific for a reason.
- How do I know when it is finished?
- When the case swells, when it will not sit flat, or when run time has fallen by a third from new. None of those is repairable.
