Another difference is that they are lower voltage than a 2 cell Lipo so they can be used with any radio set up.

Correct. I spoke with hitec and futaba a while back, when I first brought in life and lipo packs.

These packs are UNDER rated at 1400 or 1450mAh. Instead of posting what they are actually spec'd at, I'll let you guys see how much they hold. It'll be pretty obvious once you guys do some battery cycling.

you'll like these even more. They're from another manufacturer. The owner and I started looking for alternatives after we had issues with the manufacturer of the previous packs.

I started breaking in my GXII yesterday and I have to say WOW! this thing was so much easier to get started than any of the past engines. My starter box barely broke a sweat. The pinch is definitely reduced. I heat cycled 2 tanks and idled 2 tanks on the box and the engine never died or got stuck. I am super impressed so far.

Lucky Duck!!! Mine should be here soon. Would sell off some of my go engines,but can't get enough to justify selling. Wanted to get rid of my Jammin x-2 full kingheadz and another full kit plus enough spares to build or maintain both cars. Problem don't think I could get 500.00 for the whole lot. So I got the king headz version up and running to break in engines.Figured why beat the hell out of my x-ray 808.
