4S LiPO

[ian h]

What packs are people using and where do or can you get them?
Am I better off sticking with twin 2S packs?

You didn't say what car you have, but if you are after a 4S brick battery Giant Shark sell the Gens Ace ones which should be good. But I think Gens Ace only go up to 5000mAh in hard cased so if you need longer run times you may need to get two 2S stick packs.

It's an RC8.2e, giant shark won't ship overseas so no good to me. Was looking at this http://www.maxamps.com/proddetail.ph...8-Pack&cat=361

I'm running HPI Rage esc and 1965kv motor.
Looking to be able to do 20 min finals on astro.

For 20 minute finals you will prob need at least 5800mAh. Seems like those prices from the states are a bit high, and you may get stung for import duties. I have seen mixed reports about the MaxAmps ones as well with Gens Ace coming out on top of group tests.
Gens Ace do have a warehouse/web shop in Germany that ships all over Europe, you can find a 4S pack here;

I've never heard of anyone using the Gens Ace own web shop so can't comment on how good the service is but it's worth looking at.

They won't ship lipos due to changes in aviation laws, according to their website anyway.
Thanks for the links chaps, I've ordered off hobbyking before and got stuck with duty and import charges also. I have also seen that Thunder Power do an 8000 35/70C via the Schumacher site, anybody got any experience with these?

I'm not sure what you timescales are on this, but I can get you one of the SMC 6500mAh 70C 4S packs on our next order. RRP here would be £125.
