Figures on these great prices.. I recently snagged Three like new flightpower evo25s 18.5v 3700 which were 1/2 price (350 shipped) so at the time I couldn't pass... but now geeez I snagged a 6s 4300xp for my 8ight-t and a 5s 4300xp for my 8ight-b at 150 and 125 it also couldn't be passed up.

Damn, I ordered my batts last Friday and I still have to receive a shipping notification :diablo::whip:.

Pick up the phone.....If they dont have what you ordered in stock, you may be waiting for a while. She said that if I hadnt called, I wouldn't have received any notice until the new shipment came in, which could be up to 2-3 weeks out.

That sucks. I just e-mailed. Phone rates from Japan to the U.S. is outrageous :neutral::neutral:.

they were trying to get the rest of the online orders done and out thisafternoon and tomorrow.

Finally got to run the 2s 5000mah hardcase today and WOW! I'm running this in my CRT.5 with a Medusa 36-50-4800. I had been previously been running 2s 6000mah MA packs. Changing nothing but the battery the truggy did a flip on takeoff! Way more impressive with this pack!!!

For those that are interested . I just ordered a neu 4s1p 4900. There are only 3 left after i placed my order . If you wany one you better hurry up .

Would you guys think the neu 5s 4900's would be a good batt. choice for a CRT truggy w/neu 1515 2.5d/MMM ....basically just for track racing ....or would the 5000's be a better choice ??...will i notice the difference of 100 mah??...any idea on a ballpark run time on 4900's ??...thanks guys for the help

You will not notice a difference with 100 mah in my opinion . I had a crt that ran on 4s with a 15151y . On my FP 4s 5000's i can get anywere between 15 -20 minutes . Depending how smooth i am with the throttle . I just ordered a NEU ENEGRY 4s1p 4900 to use with my jammin buggy & GTP . I think you should expect anywere from 15 min & up from the 4900's .

Thanks rchippie for the help ...this is all new to me ...LOL...ive almost finished with my build and i'm finding out that the battery's are turning out to be my biggest decision...Neu 5s 4900 or 5000, little lighter and smaller...or go with the zippy 5s 5000, cheaper but bigger and heavier....LOL...the more i read the more choices i find...decisions decisions :neutral:

I haven't tried the Zippy packs, was going to until I seen the Neus on sale. Very happy with my purchases. I won't be buying another MA pack unless they do a complete change. However MA will keep my business for most of my other needs.

yeah ,i actually had made up my mind about a month ago when i started my conversion that i was going with Maxamps but as always ,the more i read the more i change my mind ...LOL...i learned my lesson racing nitro ,buying at fist site then would end up spending double the money buying the right stuff.....this time i'm gonna do it right the first time ...lol

5s 4900 with a 1515 2.5d in a truggy is a good setup, and it's what I used to run. I think iit was good for about 18 minutes race time, and based on that amp draw 100mah would be and extra 20 seconds.

Hey, ERevonut - do you have the exact width and length of the 4900's? Just wanted to verify their dimensions so I can make my new battery tray.

How long has it taken most of you to get your shipping notification on packs you ordered?

They are aprox 6.565" long+ allowance for wire so about .25-.3" extra x 1.875" wide x 1.075 tall.

I have received notification within 2 days of ordering that they are shipping

I just ordered up a pair of the 4900xp's as well.. the site says they are 158mm is this incorrect? MY battery tray is 6" long and fit the evo25's with a little space on the bottom they are listed as 152mm packs and again there is a few mm to spare.. did I just make a mistake ording up a pair of those 5s 4900's ??

Sounds like it. Unless you are going to make a new battery tray. Can you cut one end out?

Does anyone actually have the Neu Energy 25c 5s 4900XP lipo?? What is the length of the 'flat' part of the lipo, not the end to end measurement as that can very a bit depending on who builds the packs.. but the flat spot, the actual pack length where it has contact w/ the tray. MUCH MUCH appreciated if someone can post up quickly so I can cancel the order before it ships tomorrow! THANKS!!

flat spot is just about 6" (6x25.4=152.4mm)

Thanks... sounds like they will fit perfect.

Oh Man... I just got a notice today that Neu did not have the lipos I ordered. It took over a week for them to say they didn't have them.

What's funny is some people have posted that the Zippy/Rhino lipos take a long time to get from Hobbycity. I ordered a pair of Rhino's a couple of days after I ordered the Neu's and they arrived last week. It only took 3 or 4 days for the Rhinos to arrive. What do you know?

Well, I dont know anything yet. I havent recieved a shipping notice, and i havent recieved any batteries (at least not that I know of - havent been home today). I did get my refund from the downgrade to 4900's from 5500's in paypal.

FWIW, a phone call goes a long way guys. The lady at Neu is more than willing to find out about your order if you give her a call.

i was told most orders were delayed a little and they have most all shipped just alot didnt get tracking numbers, mine arrived today and all is good to bad i wont even get home before dark this whole week to even try it out in the J82 and Lazer.....

theyre coming guys dont worry, they sound pretty hectic at neu every time ive called, so im assuming they got swamped with orders of these batts and they are having a hard time getting them out.

Mine came in today:

Thank's.:smile:

Well, after I posted last, I made my second call to them to see what was going on now. She was quite apologetic, and told me to call again tomorrow afternoon if I still hadn't recieved a shipping confirmation. She said things there were really hectic last week, and some things fell through the cracks.

I just got a email notification . My lipo is in the mail . :party::party::party:

My NEU 4s 4900 showed up today :party::party::party:.

Hey is it thrue that we can charge the new Neu energie pack at 5C????:gasp:

Me too! (5S 4900's)

If you don't mind me asking, what day did you order yours?

So I promised dimensions of the 5S 4900's
1.86" wide x 1.77 tall x 6.63 long
47.244mm x 44.958mm x 168.402mm

Mine just fit my battery tray. They are just a hair narrower than my Zippy K's, but a heck of a lot longer and thicker.

Tues or wensday of last week . But she did not ship untill this monday . Because they were slammed .

I just got some of the 2s1 4900s. My charger has jst balance ports. hobby city has these,http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s..._Male_Kokam_3S but I need it in 2s. Any Ideas. The charger is a Venom pro charger. It works well, but now I wish I did'nt buy it. The main port in the charger is a jst 6s port. Is there a what adaptor plug do I need to use a Hyperion 2S-6S Kokam Adapter. Thanks

The adaptor you are looking for is called an "EH" adaptor. Astro blinky taps are the same thing as what kokam uses.
