These batteries are amazing! First of all, they come pre-installed with TRX connectors which is perfect. Quality is good. I like how the battery feels to the touch, its well built. Performance is great too. I've used the two batteries that I bought in my summit and erevo only a couple of times but seems to be holding up. Run times are about 30-45 mins of pure hardcore bashing and 1hr plus when just putting around with occasional full throttle. They fit perfectly in the erevo/summit battery compartments and I know they will fit great on the emaxx and slash 2wd/4x4 trucks. Batteries are just plain and simple AMAZING! Thanks value hobby!

For less than $30, you cannot beat this battery. Cheap, but good. These are good basher packs. I have been running 3 of them for 1 year and a half, and while they have clearly shown signs of wear and tear, they still work as perfectly good basher packs. Yes, they have lost punch, but the cells have not lost capacity, nor are the cells off-balance. No puffing of any sort on any of the packs. Just be aware, they are pretty long. They will not fit in a stock Stampede 2wd or Rustler 2wd battery tray without some modifications. Good job Value Hobby. (Posted on 9/19/2014)
I have a 50watt charger (Dynamite Passport Ultralite) and was balance charging the GForce 25C 5000mAh in 55min when new and then run for 40-50min in my souped-up 2WD Slash. Kept track of the number of charges. Now at 30 charges & never running the battery lower than 3.72v per cell, it now takes 90min to charge and I only get 25min run time. I also noticed that the 25c doesn't have the oomph that my 65c has... a very noticeable difference.
Time to try the Elite Series now... The 40c 6500mAh. When I get 30 charge/runs on that, I'll write another review.
I bought four of these, I meant to get the hard pack but am very satisfied with these anyhow. Discharge rate is nice and mild the battery on my set up using a Xerun 120A esc and Gforce sensored motor doesn't seem to strain it much. Great run times and great value. The two that I "set aside" were shipped at storage voltage and after a month are still there.. (Posted on 7/23/2013)
Gotta love these packs. Plenty of power, and about 23 minutes of continuous lapping in my 2wd SCT.
Run one in my SC and stadium trucks, and in series in my brushless E-Revo.
I have about 20 charges on 2 of these packs and still hold right 5000mah, and balance perfectly.
WOULD recommend to everyone! Will definitely be buying more. (Posted on 4/5/2013)
