Yeah Racing lipos
 

Any feedback? Seem too good to be true for the price... looking at the 3200 and 4000 packs

thanks
alan

Got 2 sets of the Yeah Racing 3200mah lipo and they are very good after a few runs on the mini. I also got the another 3200mah pack which is roar approved. I believe it came from the same factory and rebranded with a different sticker then sent to roar for approval. I so far happy with both.

alan I bought 6 of the 3200 packs in may. all have performed just as good as my orion 3200 carbons.all 6 have been run in races and practice.my son and I run 5 vehicles on a race day between the 2 of us so the 8 lipo's we have(2 orion,6 yeah) get a workout every race day, and all 6 have charged and ran awesome since day 1, and show no signs of fade . each battery sees approx. 3-4 charge cycles a week since we have a practice track here at home.

thanks for the replies...!! i'm just going to be racing 13.5 class 2wd so i'm going to pick a few up, where in mi do you race? i race the oval at BFG in grand rapids

I run the morl series( placed 3rd stock buggy , 8th mod truck for the season) some FTMS when I get the chance,washtenaw when I get the chance,mostly 1/12 in the winter @ hobby sports, toledo , or cefx(R.I.P.) Looks like i will be running at washtenaw this winter since hobby sports has pissed so many people off that no-one wants to run there, and CeFx has closed down.I was wanting to go up to battlefront a couple times this winter and run with some guys from the GR area.

running 3 of them now and it works great. 1 more on its way. :sneaky:

Lipos last hundreds of cycles - so much bang for the buck! Why not go ahead and just buy the best one (SMC)?
For $40 bucks more you'll have a much bigger smile on your face!!!

JHJH - i need 8 packs so the 40$ diff is substantial

huh?
 

Just curious here. Why 8 packs? That many cars running on the same day? Planning to run the same car pack to pack to pack? 8 just sounds like two class racing with nimh, the reason I am asking.
You do know that LIPO is just a repeak after use and run?You can do this all day and the battery will not change or erode?

Where are people buying their packs? and what are you paying?

Rc-mart seems like a good place.. just have to wait to get it from HK.

Orions are around me.. 2400s are cheap.. but the 3200s are $105 here.. so 2 packs of 3200 yeah from Rc-mart at $70 is a deal in my book.

2 cars in 2 classes (2 drivers) with the potential of being back to back classes

i have two 3200s and one 3600. Ran the 3600 racing in mod 4wd offroad, plenty of power and punch. The 3200s ive ran in stock brushed and stock brushless, ALWAYS ran great and strong. These need get ROAR approved and they will be HAWT.

Good to hear, i was hesitant about running that small of a mah pack in 4wd mod but now i guess theres no need for concern.

thanks!

I am not sure how mod is mod..

but it was not 4 years ago everyone was still running 3300s .. and very few people could dump a good pack of matched cells.

with a lipo your supposed to get 30% longer out of them... I think a 3200 would be fine.. but you most likely need a full charge almost after a run.. not just a 10min re-peak.

James

repeaks are the one bad thing of lipos as far as time to repeak goes. There are no such thing as 10 minute repeaks with lipos lol. CC/CV charging drops the current as the pack starts reaching max capacity, thus increasing time to top it off. Its not a big deal though because the maintenance-free aspect makes up for that imo.

Lipos also have a better chemistry resulting no-memory and better energy density than NIMH, thus more efficient per MaH. A 3200 lipo is probably equivalent to a 4200 NIMH as far as runtime goes so even a 3200 would run a 5-6 minute mod race just fine. My 3600 would lose about...2300-2400mAh in a 6 minute heat, but im brushless which is also more efficient per energy used than a brushed motor. Mod brushed with lipo would probably run the battery down like 2800-3000 mAh due to the efficiency variances.

regardless, its all good!


p.s
my mod was a mamba sidewinder 5700

i have 2 of those and they perform great for a what i paid for it.

it's slower when compared to SMCs though. but that's acceptable since SMCs cost 4~5 times more than the Yeah Racing Lipos here.

I got a pack with my ABC Genetic and this batts goes great.I'm running a Graupner speed500E with it and get always top performance for nearly 20 minutes without any power loss,great for the price compared to another 3200mAh 35C pack i've from Kokam that punches real strong but costs me 70% more,don't need that much in stock class .

James we are based in the US and offer free shipping on the 3200's
We also import the Yeah Racing 3600s and 4000s :nod:

Dan- I'll give you a call monday to oder a few

Thanks Dan, but I would assume your free shipping would not apply to Ontario Canada.

I have to figure out what my duty on importing batteries is, I understand I have to pay duty as well as taxes.. love govnt

James

Thanks Alan You'll really like these batteries. If you can't get us on the phone you can allways email your order or just order from the site.

Ooops my bad, thought you were in the States. Our shipping is still only around $20 to Canada.:nod:

Harris RC has them approved......:cool:

Harrisrc 3200 20"c" Hard case Li-po
ROAR APPROVED

I have 2 sets of 3200's, both have been fantastic! I've used them in offroad, onroad, and even my Brushless E-revo. I'm still stumped as to why PPl still resist and say, "Why dont you spend $40 more on a name XXX brand pack". These are now getting the ROAR stamp of approval, it was only a matter of time. Heck, all lipo's are coming from China anyway, and then a decal is quickly stuck on, so there's absolutely no guarantee your expensive lipo pack will be any better than the inexpensive ones. I've already had one of my $90 Orion lipo battery crap out on me.

Great News
Just received word this morring from Yeah Racing they are planning to get ROAR approval soon. :nod:

WOW Limited quantity left on Yeah Racing 3200mAh 20c Lipos til next shipment. Any orders of 20 or more please contact us first.

Thanks

awesome news!

what balancer do you guys use with these packs?

also can someone weigh the 3200 & 3600 packs?

thanks!

Dan,

That is great news. However we have been promised this for a long time :D

I hope they do it this time

Alan we use the CORE RC UDC-20 Multi-Charger and BalancerYeah Racing says The 3600 is 210g and 3200s are 210g

Great batteries, but still no approval unless they have already been under another name.

This lipos are so nice that I decided to sell my nimh stuff, including discharge tray and chargers ...

i agree!
