THP54003SSRT can even propel the popular Rustler VXL to speeds of 70mph and beyond!

eXtreme Race Series Batteries

eXtreme Race Series batteries offer the same power and performance of their 25C eXtreme V2 aircraft battery counterparts, yet are optimized for use in surface applications. With the ability to maintain higher voltage under load and to offer more cycle life than other batteries in their class, they’re an excellent choice for 1/10 scale racing applications. Plus, all eXtreme Race series batteries are equipped with 10-gauge wire leads and a Deans Ultra Plug connector.

Waterproofed....I would say as good as any other hardcase. I have no experience with it.

[ReddyWatts]

I cant display the photo or the link.

[sjslhill]

You do not have word?

[ReddyWatts]

Yes, it is working now as a word doc. Thanks.

Guess I tried it before you were finished setting it up.

Glad I have waited to stock up on Lipo's. These really look promising.

[sjslhill]

You trust TP?

[ReddyWatts]

I like the idea of lipo hard packs for surface applications. Maybe more will follow.

[sjslhill]

All kinds of hard packs are coming out....the entire R/C car world is going hard pack. I like TP, but these packs are nothing more than Enerland as far as I know. The really good TP packs are the Prolites.

More options, look for 3S soon for trucks

[ReddyWatts]

I hope they are sealed, if they get dunked how would you dry em out? hmmmm..................

[sjslhill]

None are sealed as they come, you have leads coming out ect. You would have to seal them all.

[ReddyWatts]

I wonder if you can tell its a damaged swollen pack before you try to recharge it?

Sorry for all the questions, but you got my feable mind to working. ha

[sjslhill]

Have no idea......surly someone here does.
