Hi Guys,
just got back into racing again and gone brushless. bought the lrp combo, sphere comp and x11 6.5 motor which is if im honest too quick for my driving skills!!
im only using gp3300 and want to know if i use gp4300 will i notice it being faster or will just the duration go up?
cheers for any help

Gp4300 will be a huge diffrence from gp 3300 i have some gp 4300 and they are amence the duration is amazing i did two runs on a 14x2 in a B4 at southport GP and i could have proberly done another on them. And yes your punch and power should be increased And duration shouldnt be a problem what so ever.

But if you car is too fast now and your not dumping in a race (which I very much doubt) you don't NEED them.

im nowhere near dumping. i just wanted to know if the gp4300 gave more power and therfore speed aswell or just duration because of the fact my car is too fast now and will soon be getting some new batteries.

Why do you need new batteries if you are not dumping and the car is already too fast?

But if they're good enough, why?

Save your money till the cells performance takes a battering, THEN get some new packs.. or if you 'must' get some soon then at least wait for the nationals to close in.

MARKO: There may well be GP4600 soon, thay may even be legal for the Nationals. My advice would be either to wait for them OR wait till they come out and the price of 4300 will go down a few quid.

if you can find 4300's. rare as rocking horse crap at the moment, probably due to the impending release of 4600's

anyone know the capacity of the 4600 cell, as the 4300's were actually 4100?!?

cheers for the advice guys. Will stick with what ive got for now then. Untill ive learnt how to drive properly!!

far betting spending your money on the correct tires.shock oils etc and some nice tools to work with.

as graham says,if your already too fast its a waste of money..dont get sucked into having to have the latest batteries unless your a top class driver.
