We will indeed be bringing them in and yes several of our top team drivers will be using them too.

Never before seen here in the UK so I doubt anyone has experience with them but early testing has shown they are very good indeed across all the packs we have run.

P.S. No, Dracula has nothing to do with them.........

They explode if you expose them to sunlight .

On a more serious note, I've looked at a few lipos from the list today and the pricing structure is virtually identical, these included.

I'll be running these when I get them delivered.

As Darren said, from testing they look very promising

I would think the 5200 will be slightly more powerful than the 4000, although the 4000 will still be have plenty of power

I run the 4000 35C Pack at Vienna Offroad Winterchamps in my T4 with CS Electronic 7,5T BL Motor it was very fast on the strait, excelent acceleration for all the jumps build by hupo and out of the 180° turns.
I drive other lipo batteries like yuntong 5000 and trakpower 4900 and i think the power of the vampires is just as well.
The cost/performence ratio here in germany is very good!

So I cant say bad things about vampire and i will drive they in the upcoming season!

the vampire lipos that tom used looked really good but they did have this strange effect on him { as he had to pit in a covered part of the building out of the sun light { and that is not a joke he actully did }

Quick question for anyone who has these lipo's, are the chassis locators included in the height on the brca list?? Or are they added onto the case size after.

Thanks

Peter

With the 5200 it is 23mm excluding the locaters, so around 25mm total.

I assume it's the same for the other batteries too.

The 4000 and 2700mAh batteries have about 23mm including the locators and about 21.5mm without. So they are different to the 5200mAh lipo.
