Why? Just not a reputable brand or are the specs on it crappy?
Lipo pack Q... - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 07-08-2007
take it from me having tried the lipo game, more of a pain in the ass than they are worth, gotta run a regulator if its going in your car, they do last longer but once they dump you are done. Just adds a whole nother variable of things that can go wrong. If you run 2600's you will get the same life anyway
Lipo pack Q... - Ponch - 07-08-2007
Mike this is going in a tc3...not radio/buggy....Or does the same apply? You said 2600's which leads me to think that you were talking about radio or receiver batts....
Lipo pack Q... - Traxxas_Junkee - 07-08-2007
He's not talking about a receiver pack.

i thought it was for offroad stuff. If you are going to be using it for an electric car then i think itll be fine, I hear Lipo's are the wave of the future in electric. But for offroad use dont bother
Lipo pack Q... - Ponch - 07-08-2007
Cool. I'll start saving then...
Lipo pack Q... - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 07-08-2007
why did u get a tc3 why not a NTC3 or 4?
Lipo pack Q... - Racin' Ranger1 - 07-08-2007
because he got rid of his pede for it
Lipo pack Q... - Racin' Ranger1 - 07-08-2007
and matt i have a TC3 body for you. its a nitro one but you can have it
Lipo pack Q... - Ponch - 07-08-2007
Thanks, but it'll be way too wide(I think, I'll try it though)...(electric=190mm wide, nitro=200mm wide).
Lipo pack Q... - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 07-08-2007

Lipo pack Q... - Ponch - 07-08-2007

whats so wrong wit lipos in the rec, on buggy? All I read is u flamming them...I have had no prbs with mine but i dont run a reg....I lovce it I can go over 2 weeks on a charge and it puts my servos on roids...
Lipo pack Q... - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 07-09-2007
well then ur lucky, ive seen more people with problems that go back to nimh then i have seen have success with them. Look what happened to maifield leading the nats by a lap had a regulator fuck up on him. I dont need that extra element of some shit to go wrong. Do you race or just bash? i dont see how ur servos can last very long at at all not to mention ur receiver with that much juice being pounded through them on a regular basis
Lipo pack Q... - blktransam - 07-09-2007
race only....well started end of last yr anyways, run spektrum module (sr3000) reciever...and 9000t servos for the past 8 mths with not one issue, prb 6 other "local" guys run them as well with no issues.
