Here is a pack that is based off the Trinity packs with a built in LiPo cut-off.

I have ordered one from John and have heard good things about them. The only downside is the lower capacity.

I can't comment on the "no-warranty" thing at the moment because LiPo vendors are still in huge flux right now. I'm sure if there was an obvious problem you could discuss with with John and work something out, but don't quote me on that.

I have a 4800 Orion and love it. I run the Sphere without a lipo cutoff and it works fine. I installed the Novak li-po cutoff on my Sphere and it caused problems so I just removed it. I would just run the lipo, you will know when you need to charge the battery before you hurt it. I've run that battery for a good 20 - 25 minutes on the track practicing one time, impressive.

I've had 2 Orion 4800 platinums and I have 2 trakpower 4900 goldbrick lipos. I notice no difference in performance between the 2 though the trakpower is a 25C and the orion is only a 15C. I like that the trakpower uses 2S1P instead of the orion's 2S2P.
Not that they need to be balanced, but the Orion Platinum 4800 in the 2S2P configuration can never truly be balanced because there is no way to isolate the cells. Small issue, but other than that the Orion 4800 is a great pack.
The Orion 3200s and the 3600s are 20C and 25C packs respectively and are wired 2S1P, you'll just have to add more weight to meet ROAR guidelines (if you need to).

Thats good if he will. I guess when I see something stated as being sold as is, it just worries me that if it does come in dead, or goes dead after a cycle or two, there is a possibility of getting stuck with a paperweight.
Anyone heard if higher mah packs are in the works from other companies?

Max amps has some really high packs.

Once understood, and know how and throughly research how a Lipo cell is created in the first place, you can clearly easily see why this is not an issue at all. In additon, this means a 2s1p pack isn't necessarily faster than a 2s2p pack!
