I suggest you read this thread: http://www.rccaraction.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=003308

These are NOT matched packs, but the cells are VERY cheap.

all the little things you need to assemble a pack should run you around 5 bucks a pack (battery bars, solder, wiring, connector)... you can get name brand matched cells for as little as 35 bucks from integy, or more than 100 from trinity...
e-bay "mystery" cells may be decent for bashing, but buyer beware... you would probably be better off buying radio shack mystery cells if you truely wanted to go that cheap... LOL..
peace out... :)

I don't know about you, but I order most of my packs from ProMatch.

Great batteries, and for $6 they assemble them for you (saddle and side by side only). And for $2.50 more they will attach a deans ultra plug pigtail.

They do a great job, better than I can do, and it saves the hour or two it would take to solder the packs together. Well worth the price...

i have used pro-match in the past... and i agree... they do a good job with their cells, and do it at a really good price... so if you are looking for decent cells at a great price... pro-match, integy, and B & T give fantastic bang for the buck...

peace out... :)

Do a search for promatchracing. Or you just add a .com to that. I hope that isn't spam......

Spam? You don't own or work for Pro Match, so it isn't spam. You are just answering a question. Spam would be if you created a new topic asking people to visit your website.
