http://stores.ebay.com/prodigybatteries
there only 10c but really good prices
or are these crap packs

truerc beats both their price and preformance. (their 8000 pack is only 5c)

I wouldn't touch them without a 3rd party review with graphs...

Ex: 4s 5000mah is $86
Better off with a $89 maxamps 3000 pack or $119 4000 pack. imo

Or the truerc like Serum said... they were my 1st lipos... he's a good guy

I have looked into buying a case of nickel cells before... in general I also found that it cost about as much per cell as buying "average #" matched packs from places like worldclassbatts and promatch.

Even places like battlepacks and CBP, etc that sell unmatched cells... are like $7-8 ea for raw cells, brand name. Generic cells are around $5-6.

Edit: here's a case of umatched zapped cells, $175...$7 ea. un-zapped are $150

I bought promatch 4200 packs with pretty good #'s last year for around $40 ea.

They are 10C now :). The previous ones were 5C.

@ metal;

Check item 190082964802, 8000mAh, still saying 5C..

On Ebay? This is what I got:

Are you sure that is True RC?

tom255 · 02.18.2007, 12:13 PM

definatly not TrueRC

glassdoctor · 02.18.2007, 12:14 PM

The 4000mah cells I got from truerc 2-3 years ago were 5c.. but nothing on their site now is rated that low. They have rated the 4000 cells as 10c for a while now... not the same cell as before.

Serum · 01:01 PM

Metal; check the opening post; he claims they are 10C on the link he is sharing; and read my reply i am refering to his link, and i am telling they are 5C instead of 10... :)

I was mentioning the cells from the link he posted; not the ones from truerc.

Sorry, my bad.. I now see what i did wrong.. Crap.. with 'their' i obviously didn't meant truerc, but the linky-dudes..
