Round lipo recommendations

[tamiya monkey]

Hi everyone just a quick one, im looking at getting a couple of round lipo's to fit some of the tamiya's where the square ones dont fit, got a few square ones and some small ones in old tamiya hump back battery boxes, so i need two for the odd one where the battery fits through the chassis like my M04L for one.

Heres what im looking at

Abisma 3000 25c

Core 3000 20c

Abisma 4200 25c

Overlander sport track 3250 30c

Nvision 3700 45c

All meet what i need performance wise, just after a few recommendations for fitment size, quality and performance please.

Thanks in advance.

The Nvision probably won't fit. I purchased a 4500mah 45C the other day. Manufacturer states the battery is 136mm long. I measured it at over 138mm long.

The Core RC batteries claim to be 134mm. I hopefully have some coming to me this week, so should know for sure soon enough. I'll pass on my findings.

Thanks for that matey, let me know how the Core Rc ones fair.

I have some 3200 Yeah Racing ones that fit my Lunchbox and Boomerang perfectly. Not sure you can buy them anymore.

What about the HPI Plazma ones ????? A bit pricey though

they look like they might fit.

they are 4000mah 20C

and there's a cheaper 3000

Hi mate i did look at the plazma ones but im too tight to pay that musch, about £25-30 max is where i need to be, but will keep looking around the right ones to fit.

The Core RC 4000mah, 20C batteries are quite pricey too, depending on seller, but they do fit many older Tamiya chassis.

I got some through the post yesterday and test fitted them in some of my cars.

Hornet: a bit tight at the top. The speed control platform could probably use a trim.

All other cars I tried came up trumps: Mad Fighter, Striker, Super Sabre, Terra Scorcher, Falcon, and a TA01/02 truck. If they fit in those, they will fit in everything else that I own (80's/90's plastic fantastics), bar my Wild Willy.

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks for that, still checking before splashing out.

The core fit anywhere a nimh stick pack does, they are the same battery as the yuntong ones I use. 134mm pack length.

Nice one redzone,
