battery pack

[emaxxracer15]

are these (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMND3&P=7) packs any good. if they are im thinking about buying three of them and making seven cell packs

i personally have never tried them,but i will never go with anything but gp or ib because they are well known brands and have had nothing but positive feedback.its better to spend a little more the first time on some well known packs.unless you want to buy twice,your choice.

I have bought batteries like thesehttp://cgi.ebay.com/Two-8-4V-NiMH-3800mAh-Battery-for-RC-Car-E-Maxx-S_W0QQitemZ330091737169QQihZ014QQcategoryZ50603QQr dZ1QQcmdZViewItem many times and they work great for bashing...

before i knew better, i too bought batteries from that same store. i still have them, 7 cell 3300's, and when i discharge the packs down to .9v per cell and then charge them they will only hold around 2000 mah.

the best i can say about them is they work in my truck. they just don't work well. now i feel like i wasted that money, because i never run them.

buy a good, matched set from SPC (http://www.specpointbatteries.com/). so much more power, you won't even believe you're driving the same truck.

Tom at SPC has great customer service too. If anyone wants to see what his packs look like before purchasing PM me and I'll send you a link to a photo of mine. I like them so much I just bought another set:wub:

Are Tenergy batteries any good?

Are Tenergy batteries any good?

re-read my post.

that's what gmmwicked was referring to, and i responded to - tenergy cells.

Are Tenergy batteries any good?
Good? in my opinion .... NO. they are adequate and work, but do not perform like a GP or IB pack will.

[taz0028ca]

DickyT can you show me a pic of those packs. I need to buy a couple of new packs so I'm open for suggestions. I have venom 3600mAh and they lasted a year.. Still getting a 25 min. run time out of them but I need to get a couple more packs for longer play time.

[DickyT]

These are they! :wub:

do you get good speed and runtime with six cell packs? or are those seven cells?

[DickyT]

These are 7 cell and they snap stock axles with the added power. I get 18-20mins of run time in 2nd gear at WOT on asphaut. I've gotten over 30 minutes on slower bashing and 45 minutes of 1st gear rock crawling.
