I have raced the Trakpower and am just about to release the review. I thought WOW I will have the fastest car last night (19 turn touring) but I look around and the 4 guys sat nearest to me all are running brand new Trakpower LiPo's!!
It has a slightly higher voltage so you'd best run a tamer motor maybe, but other than that it seems great. I have run it with touring, modified off road and spec 2wd vintage racing. The best thing is not having to lug aroung a huge battery case and never having to change cells.

I have a Novak 6.5 brushless.
How about your link to the Bantam charger, have you ever bought from that store? Do the lipo's fit into b4 ok? it looks like the esc corally's just go directly into the lipo unit! Thanks Craig.

The store I linked to is the flightpower store, and these are the guys that make and sell the Trakpower LiPo. Trakpower is their new brand for model cars.
It fits perfectly in the B4 and most cars. And yea the corallys just fit into the pack, its really neat and safe that way

and 1 pack would be sufficient for a days racing?
I cant seem to find a way of adding products to basket! also the 3900lipo doesnt seem to be in stock. Anyway it looks like I've found my birthday pressie! Cheers Craig.

I dont know if it is enough for your needs, all I can say is that I have raced with it three times in three different cars and only used the one pack. Either doing multiple runs on one charge or charging between rounds.
If you are running a hungry 8turn in a 4wd on wet grass with 200g of lead in the car - and you are a throttle jammer.. Then there is the chance you will take juice out faster than you can possibly put it back in between rounds.

Nope - I'm more of a careful slow driver that spends quite a bit of time upside down!
Have you seen the Orion lipo's? if so how do they compaire? Also is there anyway of telling how much power is left in a pack after use? (last question)! Craig.

power left in ? not really sure about that to be honest. I have never seen the orion lipos in the flesh so I can't comment on them, the Trakpower is very popular though and you can't miss those!!

Depending on which Bantam charger you select determines what accessories are included. Many organizations can supply the main unit but few carry all the accessories. I completely stock all the accessories as well as the chargers and ship worldwide. www.rcaccessory.com Free EMS shipping for orders over $250.00. To answer another question posted earlier, the e-Station 301DX does not have user adjustable mV settings for nicad and nimh charging. The BC-8 and 902 have these options. I would be happy to answer any Bantam Charger questions. Regards, Evan Chapkis RC Accessory, Inc. Auth US Bantam Importer

 The NEW TrakPower V-Balance safety and conditioning device shown connected here to the TrakPower 4900 pack. This revolutionary safety device contains the rules for safe-handling of LiPo packs in its software. When connected between charger and battery, the V-Balance monitors the condition of both cells in the 2s LiPo pack (and up to 6s LiPo for future-proofing) and will disconnect the charger if any one cell is in danger of going over-voltage or under-voltage. Additional functions such as the Fuel Gauge show the approximate state of charge of the whole pack (and each cell on pressing the mode/reset button). The V-Balance also equalizes the state of charge of the two cells either passively or during charging. TrakPower V-Balance: The key to unlocking the world of ultra-high performance LiPo for RC Cars SAFELY!!! The TrakPower V-Balance is supplied with the special 2s TrakPower lead harness

Hi Evan,
Thanks for the information. Do you know the MV cut off used on the 301 DX by any chance? I realise it's not adjustable, just wondered if you had any idea on this? and yes, it is past 4am - dedication, thats what it takes.  Quote:
