Reedy Stockstar Competition LiPo Batteries

Reedy has announced the launch of its all-new Stockstar LiPo battery line.  Specifically designed to meet the demanding power requirements of Stock class RC car racing, Stockstar batteries deliver unmatched power output and efficiency for racers competing under strict stock class rules.  Incorporating new advancements in cell formulation, manufacturing and construction to reduce internal resistance, improve average discharge voltage, and increase 8.0V discharge times, they are offered in three configurations with more to come – 5000mah 7.4V 160C LP Shorty, 5800mah 7.4V 160C Shorty, and 6700mah 7.4V 160C LP Stick.  These cover the needs of most stock class 1:10 onroad and offroad applications while also remaining a high-power alternative for modified class racers.  A durable hard case features embedded low-resistance 5mm sockets to reduce power-robbing resistance with male ESC connectors included.  “Stock class racing is all about producing maximum power with minimum fade,” said Rick Hohwart, Reedy Power manager. “Stockstar batteries were developed in close collaboration with experienced stock class racers to push the boundaries of what’s possible within class regulations. We’re excited to give competitors the edge they need to win, whether at local club events or national and international competitions.”
