I had issues last week with my batteries coming undone a couple of times so i am very nervous about running soft packs, matter of fact, i won't do it. My buddy teases me about it but screw it, i want hard packs..

$7.95 on any order that's not marked oversized. Things like parts, controllers, etc. Estimate that at anything and everything (1 part or 100) you can stuff in a box about the size of a 12-pack.

Shipping is calculated and automatically shown in the cart for domestic lower 48 state orders. Toss something in the cart and see how it feels and works.

Exactly Tony, that is one of the batteries i wanted to buy but they are out of stock, so are the ProTeks..

I have two Turnigy batteries both 4S and they work fine but they are like 30C, that don't cut it for me, i notice the difference from those and my Maxamps and other higher 60+ C batteries that i have. I did some searching but i can't find any hard packs with 40 or more C..
Don't be a afraid of a pair of 2s packs wires in series.. something like the IP intellect 80c 7200mah.. gives you more flexibility to run in 2s vehicles or in a ebuggy with split packs down the road. IP does have a 4s pack btw and it's way better than the SMC imo. Can check in w/ promatchracing dot com as well for stock. Those packs are also in/out as soon as they come in.

For 4s Lipos, I've been running G-Force ones from Valuehobby.com
Great pricing on them and shipping is pretty quick as well. I've been using them for about 1.5yrs now and work great. I'm still using the same (2) I originally bought and that's with racing almost every weekend as well.

Speedzone USA is going to start carrying 4s Lipos and I should know soon when they'll be out.
