These are not the regular 2400's that are being resold by Trinity, etc
I did some research and found these cells to be of a lesser grade (the CP in front of the 2400 gives them away). The main difference appears to be higher internal resistance. If my hunch is correct this would lead to less "punch" in mod class racing, where high current delivery is essential.
They also have a slightly lower voltage (VERY slightly I want to add).
I purchased 42 of these a few weeks ago, from this very guy. Most of the cells went to a few friends of mine, but I kept 18 and made three 6 cell packs. I just want to say that for the kind of playing around I do, I they are great. I mean for 18 bucks a pack for 2400's who can argue ?! I noticed no difference between these and some Integy packs I have, of course the Integy's are a few months old and these are brand new ...
Anyway, for playing, practicing, and maybe even racing (if you are not some super stud - winning every race kinda person).
The seller shipped pronto. I had the cells even before the auction was over ! It probably has something to due with it being a dutch auction with like 5000 units :p

Anyway, here is the Ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1614642341

And here is a pic of one of the packs I made with these cells.

I think for 3 bucks a cell you really can't go wrong. I am buying some more for my RC buddies and to make some 10 cells packs for my boat ! WOOHOO !
And NO, I am not GIVING them to my friends :p

They sure do look less pretty than other batteries... :) Has this guy been doing this auction often or did you just find it this one time? Bad timing on telling me this auction... I am trying to feed my other hobby (shh.. don't tell my Triple X about her) so I'm short on the credit/cashola right now (and GT3 comes out too).

WhoKnowsWho, this is the second time I have seen him sell these exact cells.
I bought from him the first time and the second time (this time) that I saw them.
If you had read my post you would know that ! :p

Sheesh, some people just look at the pics :D

OMG! 1500 units in that auction! I wish I was more into electric. I am amazed. Maybe the ol' RC10 would like a few of those.

Jeep, what does "btt" mean? I'm not up on all the internet lingo. I also see that you bought 40 of those things.

Well, just because you've bought from him twice doesn't mean he's going to post them again :p I e-mailed him and he said he would be putting it back up again, couple dollars total in savings when compared to buying it from his store... well, I'll keep an eye on it and buy some later.

I got 12 cells and they threw in some solder tabs to boot!
