Default Sport Pack Selection Help Needed

Hey all,

I am looking to pick up some sport packs for our spec racing class. Rules are 1800mah and below Sport packs (ie- non matched ). Since this is a fun class, this keeps the price down.

I would love to find some new RC1700 loose cells but having trouble finding them within reason compared to assembled packs.

Anyway, from your experience, how do you like the packs? My LHS current says the ones from CEN (latest batch ) put out great voltage and he has them for 17.99. Any opinions on the following:

1. Duratrax Packs ( Shark, Pirahna, etc )
2. Tower Hobbies
3. Trinity
4. Racers Edge
5. Cen
6. Epic ( 1500s for 9 bucks )


Also, how much of a difference will I notice between 1500 and 1800 packs? Guys at my track are making run time with the 1500s, I just want to know if I will see a performance difference.

We run Street Spec motors if that helps. This is for truck racing with my new T4 and I will be running it indoors on carpet
