mike what kind of runtime are you getting on the 3800's ?. I need to get atleast 2 sets of 6 cell packs, & 2 sets of 7 cell packs so i can run in the 10 min nitro mains. I get just over 9 min 30 sec on my 3300's. So i figure the 3800's should put me over the 10 min mark.

From my own experience, my unmatched IB3600 6-cell packs consistently give me about 1 extra minute of runtime compared to my unmatched GP3300 6-cell packs. The IB3600 packs are also cooler after the run, so there's less of a wait to recharge. This should mean that you'll get plenty of runtime from the IB3800 cells since they are numerically superior in every area that counts.

Also, someone earlier had asked about the IB3800 in the SPTs; I have the IB3600, which have the same physical dimensions. The only thing you may have to do on some cells is shave some shrink from the end of the cell so that the cell ends touch evenly and completely. Out of the 28 cells I put in my SPTs, I had to do this for about 20. There are instructions with the SPTs.

Starscream - you mentioned that you know Pete personally. Do you talk to him much? If so, he may have mentioned that someone actually broke an SPT recently; that was me :)
The 8-cell SPT I was using on my MGT at the track for practice broke an end cap. Pete sent me a replacement at no charge. He mentioned that noone had broken one before, so I felt proud to be the first :)
