hi there,

the battery in my schumacher cat sx has just about had it. it is a trakpower gold 4900mah battery and has been charge probably 50+ times! while racing yesterday i asked someone who woks in the local model shop if they have any decent batteries. they had a load of these come in:

he would do one of these for £50 which is at a good price. but has anyone tried one? i would like to hear reviews or opinions of this battery.

any advice about this battery would be appreciated.

has anyone seen or tired one of these in a cat sx?

many thanks

Trakpower lipo should go for 1000 charges. My old one did well over 600 without any loss in performance

has anyone used this reedy battery?

many thanks

Got 2 of these lipos in the US 6 months ago and up to now I am very satisfied with both packs.

In my opinion they are really good value and have a very high constant power delivery without heating too much.

Bought them as Keven Hébert has been using them continously in his TCs.

Hi Buddy, I've been using 2 of these for the past 12 months. Fantastic performance still, same as day one. Can't recommend them enough. I think I paid around £80 each so £50 each is a bargain. Where is offering them at that price? I'm tempted with another 2.

well my local model shop is selling them at that price. i think it is that battery but i was told it was a 5000mah 50c with the bullet connections. but i am going to the local shop next Saturday so i will find out then.

but iam sure it is that one

many thanks

CML are selling them at that price because the NEW 60c cells are due out soon.

The saddle pack versions are also going cheap aswell.
