Reedy VMX Concept R-46 IB4600 cells

Due to a steady rise in popularity of 1/12th scale as well as World GT class racing, Reedy has recognised the importance of offering 4-cell versions of their VMX Concept IB4600 Matched battery pack. Reedy’s exclusive VMX Concept makes great IB4600 Standard and EU Spec NiMH cells even better. The process begins by applying an intense energy pulse to new cells using high-tech equipment designed in house by our engineering staff. The end results of this process are reduced internal resistance, increased voltage output, and more power. These enhanced cells are cycled, then power-matched using a 35-amp discharge, a process which eliminates weak cells and those that do not fall within the exclusive percentage that are good enough to be hand selected as Reedy VMX R-46 grade.
