I too have been wanting to see some data on these...I think they make a GREAT Spec. type pack at the offered pricing.

2400 mah?

It could replace the typical 1800 nicd Sport Pack, and last much longer. It'd make a good spec class too. For a 5 minute race, i only use about 1800 mah with a 13.5, maybe a 2400 could be a more plactical battery. Lighter weight = Less wear/breakage.

I'm guessing it'll be less than $30, right? It sounds promising.

I bought one of them about two weeks ago. Wow is all I can honestly say, threw it in my T4 with a 10.5 novak and had a ball. A rough run time from what a friend and myself decided was about 30mins. Give or take 5 mins it was a guess we had.

I threw it in and started running around 6:15pm. Once the battery was almost dead I came right in and it was 7:00pm. I know for the first 15mins I was just messing around. After that I was giving it all the throttle I had. We were actually racing each other on an outdoor track.

I actually came in after he did and he was running a trackpower 4900. Honestly for the price it is a great battery. For play, spec, racing whatever I suggest it. I will need to do a better test to see what the exact run time is.

Sounds awesome I bought mine because of the stick pack size. Now I use it for my lunch box and my slash.

My friend uses them in his VTA car without any hassle. I think it's a great pack for people wanting to get into lipo for a reasonable price. It would be a great Spec battery.

is it round (thus acceptable for stick-only apps. ie mini?

Yep it's round so fits in mini. It was used as a spec battery at the recent TCS Nationals. Works great!

Are you going to be at the oval race this saturday 9-13-08 on lindsey, CA? I'll be running on-road TC on sunday?

hanzo3 · 09-09-2008, 09:25 PM

Can we use this in 1/10 TC? Like a TC5?

Skitee · 09-09-2008, 10:56 PM

Hanzo yes it fits most if not all 1/10 touring cars, it is shaped like a stick pack to fit chassis which need that type of battery but it also has humps on the bottom which give it a side by side layout if you want to use it on a top end car.
