Does anyone manufacturer round cell lipo for rc car like the turnigy nano-tech round cell? I wanted to try my hand at building a round pack for one of my rc cars. But sofar all the cell i seen have a low discharge count the highest i seen sofar the turnigy at 15c

You want to build a round pack or you need a round pack?
If you need a round pack, this is probably what you want: https://www.horizonhobby.com/product...--tam-ori14078

If you're trying to build your own pack, lipos really are not sold in the manner to promote doing so. You might have to try a Chinese-based OEM site/mfg and see if they would sell you that small a quantity of cells.

I am trying to build my own pack. I can find single flat cell lipo up to 40c but but when it comes to round one not much development has gone into them from what i see.

LiPo cells, from my understanding are all prismatic (flat)

To get a round cell, you'll need too use lithium ion.

From what i see turnigy seem pretty round to me

The LiPo cells in a round shaped case are just a bit smaller so they fit flat in the case. That is why they are lower in capacity.

Hmmm, a lipo battery in the size and shape of a AA. Never seen that before (but had no reason to look either)

Anyway, it's still just a flat cell in a round package.

If you look in the description, it says they're lithium ion...

The only thing it say is
"The nano-core technology in lithium ion batteries is the application of nanometer conductive additives." I talk to one of their representative and they told me it was lipo. But then again most of those representative dont know what they are talking about.

...and the special RC car, that is requiring "round" cells, is what?

LiPo batteries come in all shapes, and sizes. I don't know of any "high" discharge rated cells in something like a 14500 (AA) sized cell.

Some 1/18 cars have a 2 cell Li-Ion 18600 battery. Maybe it is time TS tells what car he has, maybe a picture of his current battery?

I never said it is a special rc that require round cells i simply just want to try out to build one only because i am helping one of my friends with a drift build and he is doing a full interior so he ask me if they make round lipo so it would be easier to hide and it got my attention when he ask and i ask here to see if anyone knew any manufacturer
