Vampire Racing Saddle Pack LIPO's have arrived....

[Darren Boyle]

Well after spending several long nights stuck in UK Customs, the first UK batch of VAMPIRE RACING saddle pack LIPO batteries have now arrived.

Two types are now available, the BRCA and EFRA legal 4400mah 30C packs (pictured) and the non legal 6200mah 30C packs. On top of this we have recieved the new 4000mah 35C stick packs too as well as more stock of the existing sticks in 2700, 3300 and 5200 sizes......

The VAMPIRE packs deliver stunning performance but offer great value for money too. As being used in 2009 by Team drivers Tom Cockerill, Dan Greenwood and Mat Dodd.

All back orders for dealers and customers who had these pre-ordered were despatched today and will be dropping through letterboxs and going on to shops shelves in the morning. Due to an increased initial quantity for this first delivery EVERY order was fulfilled from this batch and no-one will be disappointed or have to wait, however we now only have "minimal" stocks left available (so be quick) and the next batch of 4400 are now due in the second week of April.

Not an April fool......... saddle lipo's arrived this morning :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks Darren (& co)

My 4000 stick arrived this morning too, looks great but wasn't expecting chasis locators on the bottom. Few mods and it should fit nicely though;)

[super__dan]

Lipo locators are detailed on the BRCA approval list, I'm sure I've been told (UNOFFICIALLY AND NOT BY A BRCA OFFICIAL) that dremelling off lipo locators renders cells illegal. Obviously you've not said that's what you were planning but you might want to seek official confirmation if that's what you were wanting to do.

[Medders]

Cheers for the warning Dan, but that wasn't what I had in mind, no dremel is going anywhere near a lipo. Will probably mod the rear shock tower so the battery strap will fit underneath

Fitted mine into my 501, last night. :thumbsup:

[Gonky]

My saddle packs arrived today! :thumbsup:

[V-Rossi]

Anyone here to be able to compare them to the Trakpower saddles? With this I mean build quality and power.

Fitted mine into my 501, last night. :thumbsup:

ANy trouble? Are they a direct fit? what mods? Cheers.

All I had to do was raise the battery posts by 2mm and make up a link to connect the 2 halves of the pack together. Looking into making some kind of locating system to stop side ways movement but I might not need it. :thumbsup:

[Stan]

Hello mate which way round did you mount the saddles, connections front or back :confused:. I may have something to solve the sideways movement. See ya Thursday:thumbsup:.

[toyracer69]

Connectors at the back. :thumbsup:
