not really sure to be honest, but they are a world better than the super world team IB packs I have. I don't even take those to races with me anymore - they go out of sync instantly and feel soft.
I need to have a clear out of old cells.. any idea what to do with them all?

I've got some 2 year old ones from someone and they are alright - used them at the weekend. But my brand spanker top-line ones from last year didn't see the track before they were knackered - and became useless pretty quickly.

I only just got an equalizer (for xmas) but the old IB's I still use were NEVER equalized for 2 years and are still going strong.

I ran the Orion SHO 4200's matched by peak at the weekend and was really impressed, Voltage was as good as IB's but they are a lite bit down on run time v IB but to be honest who needs every second in off road was still coming of with 1600 still in them after each race!! I would recomend the cells to anyone

David Church · #48 29-01-2008

Sweet, looks like my cells are on the list!!!

There is a good chance I will be able to supply these if anyone is interested.
Not 100% confirmed yet though. But you can let me know if you are interested!!!!

GRIFF55 · #49 29-01-2008

So my Nosram 4200's will be no good for this season then

ashleyb4 · #50 29-01-2008

Oh no GP4600

Chrislong · #51 29-01-2008

I see it now, pictures too. Great presentation!

Id like to run the Orion cell given a choice, for me it all depends on what the matcher is matching, im glad we now have a list so that can be decided!!

DCM · #52 29-01-2008

ph well, looks like I got 10 packs of GOOD cells that would be no good for a national, and I was going to try and get an entry for Talywain....

telboy · #53 29-01-2008

Strange that the Intelect 4200's are still on there, considering it's those that seem to be going pop.

I'm not complaining, 'cos it means all the cells I've got are still legal.

Chrislong · #54 29-01-2008

Hey Tel, I spotted that too, but it says "revised 2008 spec" so do be careful mate - im not sure just when this spec has been made available, theres a chance some of us have them already..

tc2k · #55 29-01-2008

So does this mean say you went to nationals with GP3300s, cells which were widely used and werent a huge risk of going bang, are not allowed. Yet the IB4200s, which were widely the reason for these fears being brought up, are still allowed?

Spencer Mulcahy · #56 29-01-2008

I am not happy at all, all my cells are not legal anymore. I purchased these cells in september last year in good faith that I will be able to run them this year as I used the same sort of battery all year in the national series, now they have been taken off the list. How are the people that fund there own racing able to afford a big outlay like this is going to be if I want to race in the nationals. I am totaly pissed of now beyond words.

They have gold lettering on them not silver (mine are all silver).

josh_smaxx · #58 29-01-2008

I am complaining because i wanted by EP's to last half way through 2009 aswell

im not doing nationals but i like having legal equipment and for the sake of not having '2008' written on the labels im a little naffed. I got my EP's cheap off demon and it still cost me £100 (ok, not alot for most people but it takes me 10 weeks to save up that money) yet the new cells are going to be more like £50 a pack, im just getting on with 3 packs now, i couldnt do a regional with 2 packs and i can not afford £150 on cells. Bring on LiPo.

Rant over.

josh i doubt very much its a case of just not having 2008 written on them!! if you really think all the would change is the writting to make them legal over last years version then well your beyond help

i would assume its a completely different cell to the one you have otherwise it wouldnt be legal, as the silver writting one from what ive been told exceeded the size limit....
