I'd like to use this with a Traxxas plug - Can anyone comment on if I buy the HobbyKing traxxas wire, can I just solder it into the holes on this battery?

Andrew (8%)
You can solder your traxxas plug right on to the wore that comes with the battery. Just snip off the bullet connector end and go to town :) Awesome Battery

Casshern (40%)
Just buy THIS http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10267
Then theres no need to solder. Works for me.

just buy a traxxas connector. there cheap

Shaq145 (45%)

hi,

I think there would be no problem to solder these connectors

Arakon (6%)
I wouldn't solder to the connection holes, there's a big risk of melting the case and damaging the solder points. You'll need 4 mm bullet connectors for the and -, and a 2mm bullet connector for the balancing connector if you want to use it. Get some good quality silicone wire (2.5mm).

Ricardo (25%)
I use my lipo with dean plug, some friends tried to solder inte the holes and burn the lipo wires.

einarak (34%)
yes! this item http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10267 is a direct fit for this battery! go for it

Michael (67%)
no you get the traxxas plugs (battery end) and cut the connectors that are on the battery and solder your traxxas plug on bat wires. these batteries are awesome they are better than the 5000mah bats i paid 60 bucks a piece for.. the zippy batteries come with the wires i dont know if they show them.

bas (67%)
You can cut off the connector from this lipo and make the traxxas plug on the cutt cabels. Greetz

Does this pack come with a wire harness, or is it sold separately?

psygho (46%)

So the connectors is still dean and balance.just as all the zippy's.
Great job, was afraid at this to, but not an problem, all is wel packed, and come with all the nececary goodies

Casshern (40%)

I am not sure about the current draw of that motor (please check specification), but this pack can delive 100A constant and 125A peek current. That's quite a lot.

If you want to use such power hungry (i asume it is) motor, please take a look at Flightmax 2S 5000mAh 30C hardcase lipo. It's a little bit bigger but it can deliver 150A constant / 200A burst current. That's way more than any motor can handle :P

Is this Lipo capable of taking a Castle Creations Mamba Max 7700 or even more powerfull motors?

jonathan (73%)
ya you can use it with mm 7700

bas (67%)
No, the mamba used more than 100A on power. You need a 35 C lipo

My two cents:

The new picture is without deans/balance cable/plugs. Does it mean that battery is shiped without them?

It's mid-late June already ans I still do not see any information about stocking up. When can we expect to have them back on stock again?

Thanks!

M.Prower (70%)
You bring up a good point. I didn't notice the picture change though since I haven't been waiting very long yet, I never seen the first picture. I have read on other product discussions though that they have been removing connectors from batteries for some reason. Anyone have an official response to rather or not these come with the connectors anymore?

Grzegorz (62%)
Guys, you have changed the shipment date for the 3rd time. At first it was meant to be stocked up in early June. Then in the late June, now it's set to the early July. Today is the mid July and I don't see stock up comming */

Could you please specify realistic deadline?

SEth (25%)
Yes. This is madness. I ordered two of those packs along with a charger. That was few months ago. I've since gone and bought other packs and chargers as I simply gave up hope of ever receiving these!

rooster (74%)
will this ever gonna be in stock any time soon?

airoscar (50%)
it says mid-late june, it used to say mid-late may, but whatever, last time they got over 1000 of this in stock at once.

M.Prower (70%)
I really hope so, I have been waiting on these for awhile now. I hope they work good in my VXL Slash, I don't see why they wouldn't though.

rooster (74%)
M. Prower. They worked. I have 6 of them for my slash.

Looks to be a good value pack. I did not see the leads and balancing lead. Hopefully it will charge and run off of my Accucel 6 chargers. I hadnt ordered the optional lead presuming it would come with one.

StampEph (25%)
Do these come with the deans connector AND the balancing connector, as shown in the video?

airoscar (50%)
yes, exactly like in the picture, deans + balancing port

Grzegorz (62%)
Now in the picture there are no connectors. Could someone verify if recent (after July 2009) version has them included?

Thanks!

Grzegorz (62%)
I've just received the pack, it came with deans connectors and balance cable, even though they are not shown on the picture *-)

Casshern (40%)
No Deans. It comes with the 4mm Bullet Connector.

we want 30C constant discharge rate please. Keep 45 width and thickness. We don't mind length of 150mm It'd be perfect for the best selling electric R/C cars (TRAXXAS) battery compartment! You'll sell couple of thousands for sure! Also make 3s version. Thank you.

What charge rat is it safe to charge these packs at?

1Hooligan (84%)
They say that 2c(8Amps),BUT,i rather charge with 1c(4Amps).

Grzegorz (62%)
On the back of my battery there is written 'never charge with current above 1C'. Recently on the site charge current was updated to 2C but I am not sure if that only applies to new batteries, or also to the oldies with 1C written on the back.

Just to be 100% sure always charge with 1C :)

1Hooligan (84%)
I got my pack's and there is allso written 1C for the charge!!

StampEph (25%)
Do these come with the deans connector AND the balancing connector, as shown in the video?

airoscar (50%)
yeah, exactly like in the picture

Those batteries are awesome, they really hold up voltage very well.

My Tamiya DF-02 1:10 buggy turned into rocket by just changing good ole nimh batteries to these. I was to change the stock motor to something else, but now I do not have to, since those batteries give so much juice that the engine works two times better!!!

When climbing hill, the only thing that stops my buggy from going full speed is the grip, not the battery :)

I've checked battery, engine and ESC temperature after every couple of minutes, to check if nothing gets overheated. Engine was totaly hot (have to do something about it *-), same as ESC, but Lipos stayed cool (it was about 20deg outside, they were not even warm).

After 20 minutes of solid runtime (with few stops to cool down burning engine) , they still had 3.71 and 3.70 voltage when under load.

I have to say that I am impressed.

Will certainly buy two more when the come back on stock.

Grzegorz (62%)
Recently I have bough hobby wing 60A ESC with 3400kV motor. It totaly rocks. The battery delivers full current all the time.

After about 15 minutes driving on the sand the battery was barely warm (engine was a little bit warmer, but not hot, ESC was cold).

I was using 67/22 ratio on 8cm wheels. I think the pack can handle twice as much!!!

Gotta do some tests on the monster wheels, that will certainly put additional stress to the pack!

Grzegorz (62%)
Those packs are unbelievable. They work great in 1/10 applications and in 1/8. I am using two of them in series (4S) to power my buggy.

Cut off is set to 3.2V, the packs are barley warm after cut-off. After charge they take about 3600-3700mAh. Not bad for a 1 year old pack :>

Of course they deliver more current than my buggy (and me) can handle *-)

How long should Warehouse-status be "processing"?Just wondering,because when i ordered my 2 lipo-packs warehouse had 25 of them.Now there is -10...

1Hooligan (84%)
After 3 days still "processing",BUT,they have finally collected the items into shipping package.
Maeby i got my lipo's next week!! =)

1Hooligan (84%)
Well,after 4 days,"Shipped" and tracking number.
So, i get my lipo-packs defenetly next week. Can't wait to try them in my Slash!!

1Hooligan (84%)
While writing last reply, stock status was -53 pcs...

Can it fit a Tamiya TT-01D?

Grzegorz (62%)
TT-01 looks pretty like my DF-02 (except that my if offroad *-), it fits it perfectly - there is even small amount of free space left.

So don't hesitate to buy it!!!

Metallover (44%)
Can someone take pictures of the inside of the case? It seems lots people are having internal connections coming apart. I am thinking about running two of these in a series without the case.

parry13 (63%)
Yes I agree as well. I just got 2 packs that had one of the bullet connectors come loose.

Does anyone have any advice how to get the case separated?

Urvanej (82%)
The case can be opened very easyly. Just carefully put the screwdriver between the halves from the bottom direction. When you do this all around the case it is then very easy to split into halves and than glue it back after resoldering. (I do not glue it I put shrinking tube around the case)

Robert (93%)
How is this gonna push Novak 5800 in a stampede...or should I just splurge for the race pack 5100??

Grzegorz (62%)
It should work with it nicely. This pack gives 100A constant current.

If you are planning to run 1:10 car you will never need that much of current (you probably have 30-60A ESC anyway).

kuzma (58%)
1) What's the exact weight of the pack itself without wires?

2) Indicated pack height is 25mm - does this include bottom protrusions or not. If it doees, what's the main pack height without protrusions?

Thanks.

Urvanej (82%)
The true dimensions are 138x47x21mm. The protrusions have 2mm, so with them the height is 23mm.
The weight of the battery itself is 222g.

Casshern (40%)
Expect the 25mm Height, then you are on the save side.
Measured 21,5mm wihtout protrusions and 23,1mm with protrusions.

Miguel (34%)
1) 219 grams without wires, wires included 19 grams. 2) height w/protusions 24mm height w/o protusions 21.5mm both measures without wires. wires are connected from top, and can take about 12-15mm more.

Is this a new design ? i dont see the plugs soldered to the battery

OldSkoolKool (99%)
They plug in on the left hand side of the battery.
Now that's different!

Brian (63%)
The connectors (possistive, negitave, and the ballance tab) attach to the battery on the left edge. This is simmilar to the track power packs. I just ordered two of these and if they perform as well as the other 6 zippy packs thats I've bought from Hobby City I'll be very happy.

elbutchos (25%)
Here's a question.
What size are the bullets that go into the battery ?
3.5mm or 4mm ?

Grzegorz (62%)
it's 4mm for the big ones, and I believe 2mm for the small one :)
