I bought them from duralitebatteries.com I called them up to order them last Thursday and had them here yesterday.

I found the trakpower packs, but I cant find the Trakpower balancer. However, I see the Flightpower V-Balancer, would this work with the trakpower pack?

You have to call them at duralite to ask about the balancer...this one is not on their website. It's a V-Balancer, but it comes with the necessary balancer adapter for the Trakpower packs. Also, instead of $49.95 for the V-Balancer, this one was $44.95 and included the adapter. If you call them up, Jack at Duralite is very helpful and was great deal with when I ordered.

That is the balancer, the v-balance.. it will work with the trakpowers... but skellyo- where is the link to the trackpower balancer, not the flightpower..

Another little tidbit of info...

A little birdie told me that Mike is interested in carrying these and has been in contact with duralite.

[Sylvester]

Nice! Mike, we need to see these packs in your store!:)

Just a small update....

I finally got a chance to try out one of these packs today in my BL T3. I'm running a 380C 6L in my T3 on a MM and have Masher 2000 tires on it as well. I was extremely impressed by how the 6L came to life with this pack in there. It's like a totally different truck from when I was running a 6cell GP3300 pack in it. I had to shift the pack as far forward in the battery tray as possible to keep the front wheels on the ground while on concrete. In the grass, nothing helped...the front wheels were darn near always in the air. If I can, I'm going to grab a quick video of it this evening before dark...just gotta charge up another pack. I forgot how much fun it was to run this truck. After using these, it really makes me want to ditch using NiMh's in my E-Maxx and just pop in a couple of Trakpowers.

Edit: No chance for a video this evening...hopefully tomorrow.

Good to hear!

This is a heads up for anyone needing the Trakpower balancer, duralite have it listed in their store now.

Couple of vids...grass was a bit tall where I was running...

I'm hoping this coming weekend to be able to get some vids of it at full speed in the field up the street. I took it up there after these vids by myself and had a blast burning through a single pack. Took some temps on the motor and ESC and it looks like I'm a bit undergeared. I think next time around I'll add another tooth to the pinion and see where that gets me. Hopefully I'll get to try the GPS on it as well...should be in the low-mid 40's as it is now though.

I hope they could do a 3s TrakPower and not only 2s..:(
