2011 LIPO list - 410r
 
After an issue with a lipo I am faced with getting a new pack. Any particular recommendations for a SP kitted out Durango

Cheap! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Intellect-7-4v...item2eb3634c4c

mikeyscott 21-02-2011 01:16 PM

Mmm they do look good for the price.

burgie 21-02-2011 01:22 PM

i have some of these and they are OK, nothing special.

the performance seems to vary from charge to charge - nothing major, but sometimes the pack feels less punchy than at other times.

Also, the first pack I ordered from these sellers came within 5 days. The second pack I ordered never arrived. The seller was quick to refund though.

So, with the money that was repaid, I bought these:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Not tried them yet though.

Mmm I've been tempted with some GMs or Vampire Racing as the last thing I want is inconsistency

burgie 21-02-2011 01:30 PM

the inconsistency is not major - if your driving is 110% perfect lap after lap then maybe it could be an issue, but if not your times will not be affected.

As I said, the performance "seems to vary" it may not be the cells, it may be my motor or speedo that is the issue.

These are the ones causing me issues... Grunt goes soft part the way through the run.. Only had them since October...

Motor and SP are cold

Yet my Nosrams now 14 months old, still perfect in my SV and a mates SX2.

That's what my problem Orion does. May do a full discharge to just about LIPO cut off and then recharge.

I have three sets of Intellect saddle lipo packs and not have a problem with any of them and have been using them since October 2009.

strange. I run mine for 2 races and don't notice any difference in punch.

also run 1 race at kiddy outdoors and then 1 race indoors at club without any problems.
