hi there,

the battery in my schumacher cat sx has just about had it. it is a trakpower gold 4900mah battery and has been charge probably 50+ times! while racing yesterday i asked someone who woks in the local model shop if they have any decent batteries. they had a load of these come in:

he would do one of these for £50 which is at a good price. but has anyone tried one? i would like to hear reviews or opinions of this battery.

any advice about this battery would be appreciated.

has anyone seen or tired one of these in a cat sx?

many thanks

Trakpower lipo should go for 1000 charges. My old one did well over 600 without any loss in performance:thumbsup:

well i am not completely sure how many times it has been charged because i bought it second hand but all i know is it is knackered and i need to update.

has anyone used this reedy battery?

many thanks

Got 2 of these lipos in the US 6 months ago and up to now I am very satisfied with both packs.

In my opinion they are really good value and have a very high constant power delivery without heating too much.

Bought them as Keven Hébert has been using them continously in his TCs.

Hi Buddy, I've been using 2 of these for the past 12 months. Fantastic performance still, same as day one. Can't recommend them enough. I think I paid around £80 each so £50 each is a bargain. Where is offering them at that price? I'm tempted with another 2.

well my local model shop is selling them at that price. i think it is that battery but i was told it was a 5000mah 50c with the bullet connections. but i am going to the local shop next Saturday so i will find out then.

but iam sure it is that one

many thanks

CML are selling them at that price because the NEW 60c cells are due out soon. ;) The saddle pack versions are also going cheap aswell. ;)
