For 1/8 scalers - this may work out well. For $40, 4S, 4500mAh, hardcase.

I only question whether I'll get enough runtime. I've already got one of the 35C 5000mAh Turnigy packs, which has been great.

damn, OOS! And I can't find anything comparable anywhere. Someone PM me when they have some back.

as long as your not trying for 20 min mains.....15 might be close pending traction/driver but 4500 i would think would be on par....weight wise they are a bit heavier then i would like to see...but you have to account for the case i guess.....5000 30C soft cases are 510-515g.

i just got one of the hard cases and the cells are loose in the case, i will have to see about taking it apart and making sure they are tight

I'm debating just pulling the trigger on the Hyperion G3 VX 5000 4S pack. With the 5C charge rate I could probably get by with just one, plus my Turnigy as a spare. It just sucks that I could have 3 of these 4500's for the price of one Hyperion.

Yeah, last year was something like 15 minutes with two mandatory "fuel" pit stops. Not sure what this year will bring with more people running electric 1/8 stuff...Either way, seems like a 4500 might be pushing it especially if I don't want to do a real deep discharge.

I just got an email alert from HK saying the Turnigy 5200mah 2S Hardcase batteries were back in stock. I checked it out and found that they were priced at just over $22 each
I ordered 8. I couldn't have bought 3 comparable Lipos from my LHS.
All I can say is WOW! I also saw that there were several other batteries that have been backordered that were back in stock as well.
Here's the ones that I bought:

It'll still take quite a charger to charge those at max rate as well . . .

why is everyone stuck on 500 mah, you guys know its only gonna make 1-2 mins of difference? chances are people that are running 4s setups arent going for long run times anyway
