Default GM LIPOs?

Anyone using them and in particular the LiPo V-MAXX 35C 5000-7,4V model?

Looking at these, speed passion or Nosram for a Cat SX with the stiff chassis which takes the humps

No, but we have the new EPIC 5000mah 40C available now which look really tastey Mike and cheaper too than most of the others on your list........

i have the GM 5000 35C pack Mike. They are awesome, mega punchy. They are also flat bottomed so you don;t need to worry about the chassis with the retainer slots cut in it.

you certainly won;t be disappointed with them. Same spec as the Nosram and Speed Passion, but about £20 less

They are being submitted to the BRCA now for the next available homologation (January) but all BRCA events for this year have now finished so you wont have any worries there. They should indeed be legal in time for the next "BRCA" event which will come around early in 2010.

This year I have run the Vampire 30C 5200's (which have been superb and used by lots of our team including Tom Cockerill to win the Blyth National with) although I will use some of the EPIC 40C's next year for certain as well for even more POWER!!!!

These too are far cheaper than the Nosram's, LRPs etc but these are also 40C too (unlike the GM's which are 35).

They will be added to the X-Factory UK site in the coming week or so and then expect them to be available through all of our dealers stores as well as through ourselves via the DMS site too shortly after.

Have they got locators on the bottom?

Cheers

The stiff Cat SX chassis is already on order
