Inexpensive Hi-Capacity Lipos?
Anyone know of a cheaper alternative for something like this? I'd need 2 and $400 is kinda steep. Even if they're not this high, maybe 8-9000mah. Did a bit of searching, but no luck.

My Savage eats up mah and I'd like to be able to take it on the walks my wife likes to go on.Charlie don't surf wrote:Gen-ace. But why such a high capacity? 6000 is a ton of time

I see these which are a great price and could fit a lot of models with a little modification. Anyone of a thinner longer version? On the Savage they hang on the sides so length is no issue, but thickness is. That's a helluva deal with free shipping though.

Re: Inexpensive Hi-Capacity Lipos?
I see these are 5c charge capable. I would love to see the charger that can do that.
I think 1c would be more than a lot of chargers can do.

Yup, but good grief that would have some serious run time. Better bring some spare batteries for the remote.THEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote:No doubt. I think mine maxes at 6 amps.

A battery like that 13500mah would run a 1988 RC10 for 40+ minutes in full racing garb.CamplinP wrote:Yup, but good grief that would have some serious run time. Better bring some spare batteries for the remote.
