I still have my first old(since 2004) 3000mah radioshack nimh battery working fine today in my ntc3 bump box. My first maxxamps lipos(2009) bit the dust around 2011, and they were very weak compared to my thunderpower lipo packs.
I only got to use nimh packs from iB 3800mah to iB 4200mah but only tested the smc energ4600 cells once. They were very impressive at a time when my tc4 weighed over 1700grams: imagine what they can do in the current 1350gram tc's at 8.75volts or more if you discharge with an individual cell discharger(team wave), and charge fully with an individual cell charger (Spintec) at 7amps...wow...

I still run the Orion 4200 V-Max Ni-mh batteries in my Pro 4 and Evo 5 Chassis and they run alright. I charge them up to 8.75v. I had them since 2013. I ran them 20 times each(each pack).
Where can I get some good Orion Ni-mh packs?
