Haven't tried them, I would likely do these.... http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/lip...99mah/65C.aspx if I was doing a pack like that.

Although, what you linked is ~1/4 the price.

I have a couple of these packs that I run in my mini with the losi brushless system. great packs at an outstanding price. On a side note you have to watch out when ordering from the cheap battery packs. if your order get lost they will keep your money and tell you to eat a Dick even if you buy the shipping insurance. I have not run one of their packs but would never risk my money with them.

Violator - are you running the Losi BL crawler on 3S? How's it working and do you use an external BEC?

Local club mates and I have ran the 2s and 3s packs now. The 3s packs are a great size and have decent punch.

That's what I wanted to hear, just received one today in the mail and have yet to test it. Looked like a great price so I decided to try one out for now, I do t expect more than 7-8 mins run time, just looking for small footprint and decent power at a great price

Runtime is more in the 5-6 mins range if you are running hard.

I have 8 of those for my XR10. Running gates normally as if I were in a comp, I can run continuously for 22 minutes.

The punch is awsome for 25C... and they will charge to about 470mah.

That said... I don't run more than one course on a battery at a comp.

These were the batteries I used at battlegrounds

They also can charge up to 5C. So 450mAh this battery can be charged up to 2.2 Amps vs .4 Amps

The reason I pointed out the CBP packs is the "C" rating. My son was running lower "C" packs in his rigs until I loaned some of mine that had higher ratings. We could both see the difference.

Sorry you had the issue, I've been ordering packs from them for 6+ years with no issues in packs, orders or shipping.
So, if you never ran their packs, does this mean your only order with CBP was lost, or was it someone you know??

just an update on my part....

I got a chance to run several cycles on these today...

Power is excellent.........(for 25c)....Very comparable if not the same as TP 45c

Charge times are great at just over 15 mins @ 2.2 amps (5c)

Packs seem to take anywhere from 462-471 mah everytime

All in all a very good pack at a great price.

If your looking for a small pack with great punch at a rock bottom price, these are a great contender
