Default Holmes Hobbies matched lipo- High power reliablilty

Looking for just the right pack for your crawler? Something with a warranty, matched cells, and the knowledge of a crawler to back it up? Holmes Hobbies has you covered! I have been using these cells for quite a long time now, as have many users on this forum. Now they are available at a lower price and with a 3 month warranty! I worked hard to find just the right cells that are not too large, not too weak, have quality construction I can approve, and will last under the rigors of crawling.


Check them out, I know you will like them as much as I do.

possibly so. The Polyquest packs I have in the 2200mah 3s size are getting a price drop as well. Otherwise I haven't seen anything I particularly like yet.

I think with your fancy new controller 4S is going to be all the rage.
Adding it to the site will probably be a good idea. I just need to see were I can fit it on the new chassis.

Added, all the way to 6s. I will need to get dims on there, but basically double the smallerst dim of the 2s pack for the 4s height.

How are you going to fit the 2650 motor in there? You need more battery or less motor, they are not a good combination.

I'm totaly new to any brushless motor and Lipo..... so the 2650 is fisicly larger than my 550 Titan ? And will draw more amps than that battery can carry.... Gotcha.

I really want the 10 turn puller, but worry about it in soft soil, mud. Plus you dont have it in stock as of now....

Just got a fresh batch in. We bumped up the discharge rate to 35c, added deans, and made the packs better all around without changing the price. These have much lower resistance (thus more punch) than the previous cells, and will take a 5c charge (although we recommend 1c charge rates).

John, noob here, so 1c = how many amps?

Fresh packs just in. We have 1000mah and 1300's in stock now and some 600mah packs in for testing.

Leave it to my driver team to keep pushing for cells less than 1000mah If these 600mah cells take a beating we will carry them as well.
