I thought it was 1.18 @ 30A load..

oh, 115$...
now i just need a controller but they are expensive me thinks, LOL

(don't tell your girl... ;) )

No, don't tell your parents :D

Quality has its price.

Matched packs aren't cheap. It also depends on the voltage and runtime of the matched pack (low end = $50/pack, high end = $75/pack). Even the low end are good cells, but the high end have more voltage and more runtime.

How much do you take for the IBC 3800 packs? I need the good ones ofcourse.

How many cells, Captain? The best 6 cell matched pack (to be assembled) are around $70.

I think I would settle for 6 loose gp cells at promatchracing. They're 32.99 each and 1.17v @ 30 amps. You can also buy 6 IB 3800 cells for 43.19 or something like that with numbers 1.175v. If you wan't your packs assembled, they cost $5 more. I bought matched 7 cell gp packs from them a year. The packs are still in use.

I sell 6 loose cells, unmatched for $30 on this site(same 1.17 or better voltage). Similar price on the IBC 3800s for matched cells as well.

OK,
I don't know if you guys know about these but here's a link to pete's site where he sells Solderless Battery Tubes

These packs are great! If a single cell goes bad, its easy to replace it.

So, you could buy loose IB cells from mike and simply make a pack with NO SOLDER. I use these packs with GP 3700's and 2200's and beat nitros all day long :D
As long as the IB's are the same diameter as the GP's, they'll fit fine.

Mike, any comments about these tubes?

I too saw them a few months ago, the numbers look good, they have got an ultimate low resistance.. One comment from my side; they don't fit a gmaxx chassis.. And i don't know how they hold on a bumpy truck..

If they work well though, they would be the thing to get, lower resistance, easy to make your own packs and easy to service the packs if needed

I've ran these tubes for two years now and they have worked well in my gmaxx, revo and my mbx5.
As far as the gmaxx chassis, they will fit, no problem. I ran two ten cell packs(took a little work to get the steering servo clearance and the velcro straps around) but you can fit 8 cells on each side with little to no problem. With the andersen/sermos connectors, you can easily connect multiple packs together in series.

Here's pics of my gmaxx with the tubes:

I know the velcro straps should go the other direction but I wanted to run 20 cells and didn't want to run with the extended chassis.

Yup, thats a tmaxx transmission on that gmaxx. Automatic 2speed, gotta love it :D

Go over to www.maxamps.com
They don't have a bad deal on batts. I not saying they better or worse. He will build for about the same as loose. I need to test mikes batts one day to.

Yep, maxamps is where I got my loose GP2200's for the batt tubes. Though I'll give my business to Mike when I can.

I'll be in the market for some 6s and 4s Kokam Lipo's when they come out.

hint hint...
