Advancements in LiPo battery technology have led to many changes in the electric racing community. A switch to 1S 3.7V LiPo in 1:12 and World GT cars has increased participation and excitement, while LiPo technology by itself has made 1:8 electric racing possible. Reedy, an innovator in competition battery performance and technology, is proud to introduce two new batteries specifically for these racing classes.

Reedy’s all-new 40C 1S 3.7V LiPo features a stepped case that allows bodies to be mounted properly without interfering with the battery. The use of convenient 3.5mm sockets works with the stepped case design to create additional room. Plus, their smaller size reduces weight while their male counterparts more closely match the commonly used 14 and 16 gauge ESC wires. A capacity of 4600 mAh at 40C means long run times and high power for all racing classes. Handy locating tabs allow the battery to fit neatly into existing battery slots and are easily removable (without compromising case strength) for flat chassis applications.

Reedy’s all-new 40C 4S 14.8V LiPo delivers insane power and extended runtimes thanks to its 40C rating and 5000mAh capacity. This battery fits perfectly in Team Associated’s RC8e, SC8e, and RC8Te and is suitable for use in many other chassis’. For minimum resistance and maximum power delivery, 10 gauge wires are pre-wired and ready to add your favorite connector. Lastly, a 4S balancing harness makes balancing and balance charging simple and convenient.

Both batteries have been prepared to ROAR specifications and have been submitted to ROAR for approval.
