Default YEAH RACING 4000 LIPO

I ran this battery in my MO3L on Friday night in a six minute final. A comparison of weight was my Powertube 4200 stick pack 454gms and Lipo 222gms.

With Lipo fitted no extra weight and running personnal transponder car weight 1284gms. I added 60gms to the rear chassis with the weight pushed towards the battery holder.

I did not change anything else on the car, retained the same ride height etc and the car handled the pretty much the same. No traction rolls.

I must say I was very happy with the results. I can't wait for these type of batteries to become legal.

The only modification was to use the two hole battery retainers, same as when you run 4200 stickpacks.

I was also using ride tyres and beat my previous best lap time at the track.
