Ebay Lipo's

[ducatikid]

Hi

I'm curently using NIMH cells in my B4 and B44 buggy's. I'm thinking of going over to LIPO's and found these on ebay:

Would these be ok as I don't race, i'm just bashing for now so not bothered about them being race legal?

I have an Etronix charger and the cars currently run a Mamba Max 7700kV speedo and motor.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

The thing to watch out for is the height of the LIPO.

The B4 battery strap can be modified to take taller lipos but the standard one wont fit taller lipos (like those in your link)
I cant remember the maximum height but its arround 26mm.

As far as the quality of ebay lipos.. ive been racing with a single cheap saddle pack this season and its worked very well. The figures for MAH and C rating might be a bit ambitious on the ebay lipos but if they are a good price then you cant go far wrong.
