Help me choose my lipo!

[Mike.L]

I am stuck on what to buy, i have won a duratrax ice at my track and now im ready for lipo.
I want just one pack so, it has to be enough. More for racing and heavy bashing!
here are my options:

1. Flight power 7.4 4250mAh evolight $89.99
2. Flight power 7.4 3700mAh EVO25 $89.99
3. Flight power 7.4 5000mAh EVO25 $119.99
4. Flight power 7.4 4500mAh EVO30 $124.99
5. Track power 7.4 4900mAh Gold pack $119.99
6. Maxamps 7.4 5000mAh $90.00

I'd go with the TrakPower 4900mah gold pack.

What's it going into?

First, the flightpower packs are going to be about the best that money can buy. The maxamps packs are good for the money. Of the maxamps packs, the best choices would be either the 8Ah or 5Ah packs.

Since you've listed a bunch of 2S packs, I'll guess that's what you need. For a 1/10 scale perhaps? If so, I'd go for the track power 4900 pack. Super pack. Just be sure to get the balancer. You probably won't need it with the trackpowers, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

If you do decide to consider something else, be sure to check the physical dimensions on the packs that you are looking at. The "flight" power packs are meant for flying vehicles and are sized accordingly; although many have gone for the 4900mAh packs for land based vehicles.

I would take number 3, 4 or 5.

[captain harlock]

3 and 4 won't fit. The size is a bit big. 5 is the ultimate one. I hope they'll release a 25 or 30c of the trakpowers.

[Mike.L]

allright guys thanks! Track power it is, btw its a 1/10 2wd buggy.

Yeah, the trakpower pack is the way to go, definitely.

[captain harlock]

You mean a B4? right?

[skellyo]

Trakpower! For fitting in a standard 6cell location, there isn't anything better.

[Mike.L]

losi xxx-cr, but yeah...

[Sylvester]

Ill second Trakpower, Mike, u've seen them run in my B4 and i wouldnt trade these cells for anything.

[GorillaMaxx360]

how about the orion battery

[skellyo]

Bad choice...less capacity than the Trakpower, more expensive and lower C rating.

The Orion packs have lesser quality cells in them. Although they are Kokam cells, the pack is acutally made up of a 2S2P cell configuration and the pack as a whole is only rated at 15C. The TrakPower is a better pack.

[captain harlock]

The Orion do not have a balancing port as well.
