Batteries

[Tilly]

Hi guyz
I bought a new core r/c UAC50 charger the other day as mine was quite basic n made some funny noises. I would now be able to charge lipo batteries and was wondering if any1 had any advice on whether it would be worth me getting 1 and wot i should be lookin at. Thought i'd put a post up as talkin on friday nights can be a bit difficult sometimes.

These are 2 that i've looked at so far: Overlander Sport Track hard case 5000mAh 25C lipo and the Orion Rocketsport Lipo 4200 25c Rounded. There's 1 of the Orion ones for sale on oople for £25 thats where i saw that 1. Are these the sort of thing i should be lookin at for my B4.1.

I'm in no rush to buy 1 it was just something I was lookin in to so any advice would be great.

Thanks
Craig

Thought this was gonna be booking in there.

Personally I wouldn't buy used lipo's mate. You can get good cells for around £20-£30 quid new.

These look great value

In stock in UK and come in at just over £20 a pack

Just make sure they hardcased, 2 cell and fit in your car.

Would also be a great choice

Gens Ace packs from giantshark.com are great, and super cheap. BRCA approved too.

Hobbyking.com (UK warehouse) for non-brca approved hardcase packs, which are fine for club racing, again super cheap.

As James said, Vampire are great, but at a more higher price point.

I would find it hard to have much faith in a company that advertises up-gradable firmware for its ESC via a website that has been "coming soon" for quite some time!
