Recommended LiPos

[simonrhart]

I have been fond of the nVision 5500 90C LiPos but can't get hold of any where. Any recommendations from anyone on other packs? I was thinking about these: http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php/electrics/batteries/race/7-4v-saddle-pack/ob6090sp-orca-infinite-ultra-6000mah-7-4v-90c-saddle-pack.html

Really annoying as I paid for some nVision LiPos 1 week ago and when they didn't show up I phoned the shop and they told me they are out of stock! arrgghhh. I can't believe how crap some of these model shops are. The only decent ones left to me are insideline racing and MB models.

What ever you buy make sure they are BRCA legal!! A list can be found on the electric board section of www.brca.org (http://www.brca.org).


I've noticed a few shops have been selling LRP saddles and Shorties for reasonable prices of late, the vampire cells are also really good, likewise the orion ones.


For off road a high C rating isn't always so important as the track surfaces generally don't allow you to use all the power.

I gonna go for a pair of these: http://www.teamorion.com/carbon-pro-5800-100c-7.4v-saddle-pack-tubes-en-2.html

Trying to find somewhere that stocks them...

Seems my batteries I used last year are not on the list.

Forgot to mention, the list can be found here: http://www.brca.org/sites/www.brca.org/files/library_files/BRCAchairman/2014%20BRCA%202S%20Saddle%20LiPo%20List%20%2811-14%29%20v1%20pdf2.pdf it was a pain to find.

I've just bought the LRP saddles for my 22. They're only 55c continuous but I think that's more than enough for off-road.
