Can anyone direct me in a way to go to get the 3000 Panasonic or Sanyo cells cheaply. I mean not too expensive compared to "El Primo" cells.

I'm figuring on getting some 300os but the cheapest packs I found were the prebuilt stick packs from Trinity. They were 50 bucks. The price is good, but I hate prebuilt battery packs. Can we say cheap welds and horrible connsctions and wires?

I can always disassemble the stick pack and reassemble with bars and good wire but then Trinity will not warranty the packs.

Does anyone know of any matchers or dealers that sell packs (matched or not) unassembled for roughly this price?

Thanks.

OHHHH, right here, check out www.integy.com (http://www.integy.com) these guys have some cheap packs, with the #'s printed on the labels, but, i believe that the 3000's are charged at 6A(to get those "high numbers") Also, they do not print the IR of the cells, but this sounds as though these will be heading into your clod? also, they have some 2400's that are matched w/ decent #'s for i think as cheap as 35 bucks, and that is still matched!

I'll check them out.

They will beused in ALL my cars for times when I just wanna play. But yes they will see lots of use in the Clod.

Oh and BTW I'm gonna buy an EMAXX too, so it will be used in that also.

I think with the Emaxx and the BRP Fun Won I ordered it takes me over 20 R/C cars truck and other surface vehicles that I have RTR at any moment.

Is it enough? NEVER!!!! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

Actually I found something better.

A guy at the Tiltyard track is selling 2400s at 30 bucks a pack, SMC cells no less. Matched, labeled, moderately high voltage. 1.15 or so is what he said. Brand new unassembled.

I'm getting four packs of those instead.

They don't have a website.

I'll dig up the e-mail address though.
