Default Shorty lipos.

Hey fellas,

Been looking for a couple of new shorty lipos to replace my nanotech ones.

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with the Revolectrix ones?
A-Spec NanoTech?

Or any others that come into the ~$50 price area.
And willing to ship to Australia.

I have 6 shorties in my arsenal. I have 2 Hobby People, 2 Turnigy A Spec, and 2 Trakpowers. I actually prefer the A specs over the others. Great punch and decent power hold during a main. The Trakpowers hold longer but lack the punch feel the Turnigy's have. I use th HP and Trakpower's for practice and A specs for racing.

anyone tried the gens ace 4200mah 60c shorty? To keep things simple, I shouldn't be running my SMC shorty due to political reasons (although its the best pack I have ever ran...)

SMC is the best kept secret in RC. Their batteries are awesome, and very reasonably priced. They individually test each pack before shipping. IMHO as good as or better than any out there. I use 3 packs of their 70C 4600mah shorties for race packs, and 3 packs of their 50C 4300mah shorties for practice packs. I race 17.5 blinky so I need the lower IR. The 50C shorties are perfect for mod. My son is going to use 2 70C shorites in his 1/8 Durango ebuggy. they now have an Australian online site. Check them out here.

How long have you had the A Spec's?
From what little info I can find, it seems they suffer the same as the normal nanotechs, after a couple of months they just loose their capacity and punch.


Awesome, I'll wait to see what becomes of the SMC's in Aus before I buy, if not these then I'll wait and get some IP packs (I was reminded of a place that sells them in aus).

At the moment, the only advantage the A Spec seems to have (to my kinda un-informed eyes) is they are the lightest ones available.
