New Losi 4s Hardcase LiPo!
 

I was browsing Team Losi's site today and saw that they are coming out with a few new lipo packs. I scrolled down the page and saw a 4s 5000mAH 25c hardcase lipo pack.

Good to see someone making some larger packs with a hardcase. Interesting in the connectors too. By the listing it looks like they have 5mm connectors in a plastic houseing.

They must be getting ready to release a large electric vehicle.

Thats what I was thinking too. I remember at the beginning of June, I saw a picture of a a buggy being tested by Losi. It didnt have any nitro equipment at all. All I saw was a bump in the body where a BL motor should have gone.

Edit: here is the thread

A company would have to be blind/stupid not to jump into the high powered electric 1/8th market. In a lot of ways, they are already behind the curve. I think some serious electric 8th scalers could do a lot to grow the hobby.

Wow, wouldn't of thought Losi would be one of the 1st to bring out a hard case 4S

According to the guy here in the UK Losi are already well down the road of developing their own 1/8th scale electric vehicles which should be released in the next couple of months so it's no surprise that they're starting to list components.

Traxxas has be swinging for the fences can Losi fight back? ADRIAN!!

This lightweight EC5 Device/Battery Connector Set for 1/8-scale vehicles features gold plated contacts which efficiently transfer power in high-draw applications. The keyed +/- housing prevents damage from reverse polarity connection. This set is versatile enough to fit many situations.

I assume they are 5mm based on the name of the connector (ec5). They also have ec3's.

Good to see a mainstream company coming out with higher capacity hardcased lipos , have a feeling this catergory is going to explode .
Hope they come out with the same for 5s and up but i doubt it.

Only issue i can see is for us guys running 5s or higher . Alot of these companies have alot of influence on the ROAR , and even though i am in Australia alot of our tracks follow the same rules .

Hope they don't influence the rules for just 4s .

I hope so but they sure look like the 3.5 ones I have on charger connectors

im liking the look of those connectors, they would be better than deans (current wise) and cannot be shorted. i may invest in some of them depending on the price. NICE FIND!!

Glad to see that Losi may be joining the 1/8th fray but I had hoped one of the big guys would develop a true quick release system. If Losi is making the vehicles AND batteries, they can whip together a custom quick release and blow everyone else's doors off. Gotta strike while the iron is hot.
