For racing I wouldn't bother. However for practise or just bashing I'd go for it. Providing you aren't drawing a lot of current they are perfectly fine. Quite a few of locals are using them in Rustlers/Slashes and they seem fine.

Ive been using the Red 4000,s at the PDA today and they are perfectly fine.

Yes, they are perfectly fine. I use hobbycity batteries in all my cars and heli's and they are fantastic.

I'd agree with Frogger. Especially as they are 'only' going in a Losi Desert Truck, for general use. People need to stop getting so hung up on 'C' ratings - they're mostly made up anyway from too many companies' marketing divisions.

These would be fine 'even' for racing.
