FINALLY! I waited forever on my LHS but ended up telling them F you and ordered through mike. Got my batts today and ordered them Tuesday night. Only 4 days. Really fast. And now onto the batteries themselves. My first impression was great. They are built nicely and have nice fat wires coming out of the front. With their 6 cell nimh style wrapping they fit perfectly into all of my cars including my TL-01(old tamiya which can only take 6 cell style packs). I was very happy with that. The blue batteries also look great on my very blue Revo. They came perfectly balanced as well. After finally soldering on some plugs and wiring everything up on my Revo I took it out into the yard. Man was it fast. Much better than 3s. With my two speed still working, it would pull wheelies when it shifted gears. Unfortunately after only a few minutes (not even 5...) I had a stripped spur gear. Probably my fault because I knew it had some bad teeth and was going to go soon. I put one into my Yokomo TC after that and these are tremendously faster compared to my DTX 4200 nimh packs. Very very noticable difference. They also stayed perfectly balanced which might change after a few cycles but after one cycle I was extremely impressed. Hopefully will be getting a new spur gear soon and will let y'all know how it goes then.
