Yes got them, 3 sets. Use them for club racing. Spot on for the money.

Never been stung by customs.

I use the 4.85mah version of these,and they are great cells,plenty of punch in them thats for sure.

[Scotty15]

I have 2 sets of them and they are great loads of power etc. I use them in my Durango short course truck so they do take a beating during a race due to having a 4.5 t 550 size motor. I know a few others who use the same saddle packs and they rate them as well.

[Philim]

They are good batteries of which i have 2 sets however if you want to race then do not choose them as they are not brca legal. Gens ace maybe?

[JonyNitro]

9 times out of ten you be fine with Nano Techs. But gens aceare good aswell I use them the 5300 Hardcase ones.

[swappyd]

Never had any problems with them.
Infact just bought soem more packs:thumbsup:

[RichyUK]

[hellfire]

i got 4 packs and i like them
no probs here, lot's off punch and runtime

[fil6907]

was looking to start racing this year at club level not raced for 7 years so brushless and lipos bit new to me really i bought 2 packs of lrp saddles 5000/50c but just looking at were can save little really as want race 2wd and 4wd and wanted brca legal really so do few meetings also any1 got any ideas?

[swappyd]

If you want BRCA legal try these guys http://www.vapextech.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_copy_of_High_Power_Model_Control_Batteries .html

Not heard anything bad about them lipo wise but i have just their RX packs for my model aircraft and they have been spot on.:thumbsup:

[fil6907]

many thanks for that

I just ran these through one charge and one discharge cycle. They seemed to lose punch really fast and act as if they were completely discharged (anemic throttle response) really quickly. I may have just gotten unlucky. I will try again when the opportunity arises, but for now I'm quite disappointed in them.

Strange. Mine have been raced quite a few times and I have no probs at all with the punch in them all the way through the pack

[TARTMAN]

I have imported plenty and sold loads and all good reports. I use them myself in my 22, sx3 and SC hong nor. All perform very well.
Loads of punch and last forever.

I have melted a couple of them in my SC as running a 5,5t and its 4x4, but not in normal racing, jus when open practice and got them a little hot, lol.... but only the plug section and they still work perfectly.
1 set take a little longer to balance than the rest but thats all.
6 sets and all charge to 8.40, run great and are way more powerfull than the "legal" cells i have, and for club meetings/big non brca events, etc, you dont need brca legal lipos anyway.

I love em for the money!:thumbsup:

I know right? Word around the forums has generally been positive for this pack. I probably got unlucky with the batch or something. I'll get back once I get to test it again.

There is awlays gona be a dodgy one here and there in any make.

ry fast charging them at 3 amps, then blalance them at 3 amps.... might help get them alive.

Did this with one pack that was a little slow to charge and helped.

[migsy]

I have a set of these, i really wish i did'nt by them. i have a set of lrp's with a 50c rate and they knock spots off them.:thumbsup:

hope this helps.

[Freakypen]

I've tried these nanotech lipos (the 4.85 ones) for comparison sake against orion 90C, and speed power, all performed virtually identical-if anything-the orions were the least punchy over time.

Not brca legal but can't beat the value for money for practice/non brca race packs.

I didn't think you should discharge Lipos?
I have three packs of 5.1 saddles for my SC10 4x4, one 5.3 stick pack and one 6.0 soft cell, all perform great and I regularly hit the Lipo cutoff with some recharging to much more than the stated amount.
I always try to balance charge as I lost one cheap lipo when it was borrowed, run to cut off, not immediately recharged and not balanced. It popped open the hard case so I chopped off the wires and disposed off it.

Of course you can, thats what happens in the cars when used. with a correc lipo charger, they have a discharge for storage section nnormally.:thumbsup:

[BeachBuggyPhil]

I understand that when put on storage charge the charger will discharge or recharge them to attain the storage voltage but do the chargers, when put on discharge setting, make sure that they don't go below 3volts per cell? I only ever discharge my battery's in my car/truck/buggy.

[BeachBuggyPhil]

It's quicker as well! I've never understood why chargers discharge so slowly when the batteries are designed to discharge through the car as quickly as the ESC and motor demands.

look at your charger, think its 3.7v per cell but dont quote me. they are designed for exactly that!!!!!:thumbsup:

[rayonnair]

So I cycled my batteries 3 more times over the weekend. They lasted progressively longer, but still do not last as long as my pro amps. It's all good, for the money it is pretty good value I should think.
