Where have all the gp4300 cells gone!
I have literally 3 pack of gp4300 cells and i want to buy more.
Everywhere you look , be it modelshops, interntet ,ebay etc.. they all sell Ib4200's. From the impression i get , these cells do go off and are not as versatile as the trusty Gp's I purchased mine from Demon - all matched \ assembled for £33 all in. I cant find anywhere that cells gp cells for this kond of money assembled. The cells have been faultless and after almost a year of use - still give out min figs of 8.50 volts. Anyone else have any ideas? - Lastly why if the Ib4200 cells are not as good as the Gp equivalent, cant we get Gp cells as easy as the Ib's - are they not as readily available or are they not imported as much? Thanks Col.

True, however if you read all the comments on people blowing them up, them venting, voltage figs going completely off and the fact that people are reporting a good shelf life of no more than 6 months. The fact that they are slightly more powerful than the gp cells wouldnt personally bother me.
I do know all cells go off, but when it comes to buying replacements, surely the shelf life would be the most important factor. Im running 4wd - brushless, and could prob almost run another race with what i have left in capacity on my cells. From reading comments on here and on other forums, i think people would be willing to move away from them, only by the fact that they have experienced the above. Does anyone have any problems with the Gp cells? Iv not heard any horror stories - but if anyone has, post away here. Col.

I would guess most of the matchers now will no longer continue with the GP4300, but instead invest in the newer GP4600.
I do have to say I have some of the IB 4200's and despite being only 7 charges old, I have had 2 cells fail (Luckily Nick at Demon is happy to supply individual cells with appropriate numbers  ). I have never encountered a failure with any other type of cell before (including gp4300), and I'd like to think I know how to treat them correctly.

There is a problem getting GP cells. All the ones I have here have all been ordered and I cant get any more at the moment - not sure why. GP are quoting my supplier 3 months delivery! I can get IB's though so may get a small qty to test.

I have been running voodoo matched IB 4200's. each pack has had 20+ charges, and 20 discharges, and are as good as they were 4 months ago when I bought them.
Maybe voodoo cells improve IB's?

to be fair 20 charges is nothing, especially over 4 months. thats roughly four race meets for me..
My ib's have been pleantyful in power, but have become more and more sensitive to charging and heat changes. After about 9 months of racing they are finally wearing down (the power is still there, but lack of duration) My old GP's did two seasons of racing, so i'm abit dissopointed.. but for the performance i've had im happy with them. I'm unsure what i'll be using for outdoors.. what ever is cheapest at the time i suppose!

I have bought GP3700 SP2 for this year, never dumped last year with 3700's in 2wd or 4wd and never had one problem with the cells, the SP2 version is the high voltage version, 1.23v is fine by me
. And the ones i got have 35 sec's more duration than the old ones from last year.How things have changed when i ran 1700SCR you would pay anything to get the very highest capacity cells lol.
