Has any one tested these packs? I noticed them in the Hobby Shop today. I allways like the down low before I jump in.

take a closer look and see who the mfg. really is. some of these companies get cells from GP, IB and others and add their own label and increase the cost. if you want the best cells, buy them from offshore, cheapbatterypacks, or battlepacks. you'll get a better price going through them.

They drew my interest because of the claimed mah. When it comes to race packs you are correct. CBP and OSE are the best options.

i see a lot of cells at the LSH are are a waste of money, for sport or race. they are over priced. seeing single GP3300's for $10 each just makes me shake my head. but if people are willing to pay for them....... my main point is that you should know what you're getting before you pay for it ( and i think that was the point of your question anyway). if the price is below $5 per cell for un-matched cells, then it's not too bad. you may still be able to find better stuff, though.

These where 6 cell stick packs. I should have clarified that sorry. He wanted 60 bucks a pop for them. I thought it was pricy myself. I was just inquiring to see if anyone was running them and if they where worth the money.

They are the typical generic cells probably very similar to e-bay buys. They are not the quality of the gp and IB cells, but in a low current app it'll be fine. If used in an e-maxx or hot brushless app they may not hold up so well.

I'm glad I resisted the impulse buy. Thanks guys,
