When I was told about the new LIPO by the guys at Horizon I have to admit I was not convinced, it seemed like a specialist battery to suit just one car to me, but as a tuning option I am coming around to the idea of it slowly.

I guess it just felt like you "had" to buy a new battery for a new style of car layout (which is no worse I suppose than HAVING to by saddles for a new 4wd when you have run sticks in the past), a battery that would then not fit other models and applications to the best of their needs, BUT to create more room and to move around (back and forth) in the car is kinda cool i have to agree (far cheaper than lumps of brass as a way of getting the balance right).

However I have got to add, to all those who have said you dont need the 6000+ LIPO's (who are all correct by the way), seing as this battery IS smaller (in capacity), you would expect the price to be a little smaller too in fairness and it isnt, it is still up there priced with the best of them......... Given the choice of a 6000+ 60C or a 3800 60C for the same (or even less) money, many racers will get the most they can for their hard earned cash in my opinion.

So come on TLR/Horizon, get it on the market for around £60/70 and you are on to a winner!!!
