li-po's on ebay

[chunkytom95]

hi just want your thoughts. im going to get some li-po's and was wondering do i buy of ebay or do i go to a shop in the uk.

I bought a pack of the Intellect Lipo's from UkRC (In Hong Kong). They turned up in less than two weeks and they seem good to me! If you can wait for delivery then they're hard to resist.

yup, used UKRC myself, got some 5000mah 50c intellects. Great service, very quick despatch too.

I am also looking at Lipos, what mah and C rating should I be looking for for a TC4 tourer/drifter?

I have just got a 5200mah 35c lipo from ebay for £30 and its mental off road (it only actually cost me £25 as i bought if off a guy at my local club coz it didnt fit in his car)

Depends if you want to race at BRCA sanctioned events

UK shops will/should have BRCA spec batteries, some on ebay may not be on the list

look under the BRCA Homologation List here before you buy

think the intellect ones mentioned above are on the lists

I saw a guy using these batteries last night

He's a keen racer and being doing it for years, and I'm sure he wouldn't use them if they were not any good.

i use the intellect 4200 and it good price too

so long as they fit in the car you'll be OK providing your club allows open cell rules and are not asking for BRCA approved ones
