These will make a full 8min run with a 17.5 but I've never tried then with a super stock or mod motor so I'm not sure on those. These weigh about the same as the 1s lipo but have the punch and zip of the nimh, plus thay only cost $7 a cell.



See above description and pic below



But the sub-c type A123 cells fit like nimh, have the same 4.8v and solve all the t-bar issues that 1s lipo does'nt. And I can make 8mins no problem and thats with aggressive gearing of 76/54

I didnt know they make Sub-C sized A123. But for 2S A123, the total voltage should be 6.6v, not 4.8v.
