LiFe packs for my M-chassis cars

[alfagta]

hi all,

i am on the hunt for some cheap LiFe packs for my M-chassis cars, i have decided to go for LiFe because the cars all have teu104 esc's so it makes sense to use the LiFe batteries , i dont mind the drop in power as i can always gear up ,

i am wondering what if any you have come across that will fit and have decent capacity at a realistic price , a cursory glance at the bay of muchness and i came across these , http://www.ebay.co.u...tem27bbb2e6df and these , http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Speed-Power-3300mah-30C-6-6V-Racing-LiFe-battery-/180679246072?pt=US_Radio_Control_Control_Line&hash=item2a115280f8

anyone tried them or any others?

thanks for any input

hi speedy,

yeah i know about them but these are for my M-chassis cars , i cant use the HK ones as they will get punctured on the first run and most of them wont fit the battery compartments , i need a stick pack configuration with hard case , if i could find empty hard cases i could put some of the HK ones into that , but cant seem to track down any

hi GregM ,

thanks , i had already read that thread and did a forum search but all leads go to a dead end, orion dont produce them any more, still available in the USA but we all know that will mean added pocket money for the tax man .

the search goes on

well , it looks like i will be sticking with li-po in my M-chassis cars for now , even the cheap LiFe packs are quite pricey , decided i am gonna fit brushless to the lot of them , same cost as LiFe packs .
