Thanks Joel. A little trimming on the battery strap isn't bad, just glad to hear it fits in the tray width-wise

spot on on anytrack.


No problems here from any of mine, you will have to dremal the battery a bit to get a connector to properly fit but not much.

i run the zippy 5.2s now still no problem.
I have the same 4000 pack but don't run it because of the top posts. I do however have one of the 5.2 packs and all I can is that pack is AWESOME. A little tight for the battery stap but tons of power out of it.

I've got two of them and the only problem I ever had was in a hard crash one of the banana plugs came lose and cost me a couple of laps. Otherwise they are fine, and no different from the big-name brands with banana plugs in that respect.

Run one in my SC10 every race day.

Try and make your connectors like this, I had the same problem--along with the bullet (banana) connectors becoming loose and sloppy and losing a good connection. After I re-soldered them at 90* I have never had either problem again...

I am confused--did you mean to ask Would you buy? If so, the only difference between the 4000 and the 5.2 (5200) will be runtime, the 5.2 has a little more "C" rating that may give a tad more punch also...

The other guy "electric newbie" asked where to buy the lipo's, so I quoted it and answered his question, HobbyCity, but it didn't do the quote for some reason. I looked after I did it and it did look kind of funny.

I ran today at wcrc and felt like i was killing with my 13.5, was beating all the stockers and running with sc trucks with bigger motors. got nothing on the 4 wheel sc's though

25 weight oil front and rear. silver rear, green front. 1 limiter moved from inside to outside on the front shocks. black sway bar kept it from traction rolling on accident. bowties on beadlocks front and rear. 13.5 geared at 26/84, got up to 150f
