New from Motiv RC is this Launch NP grey graphene hard case 7000mAh LiPo, made specifically for drag racing. The 8 internal cells that make this battery 4p are HV cells at 7.6V, this means the battery is both powerful and more stable than the normal 7.4V cells when charged to 8.4V for competition. Featuring a hard case design that keeps the cells safer during usage while the 8mm bullet plugs eliminate solder joints, clutter and weight from the connector.

Unique to Motiv RC, the fat shorty was made for RC applications where low CG is not necessarily most desirable but yet a shorty footprint is. The recommended usage for this battery is no prep drag racing and dirt oval. Due to this battery’s high 8200mAh, it will hold higher voltage longer during discharge than any other shorty made to date.

Motiv have announced that Keven Hebert will be representing the brand in 2019. Other than Keven’s ability to compete with their products among the worlds best, he brings in many years of experience and most importantly a championship attitude that really makes the difference. Keven had this to say about the deal:
I am excited to be running for Motiv in 2019! Not many of you know this but when I first started racing, the first pro racer I met was Paul Lemieux, It was in 2002 at a race in Canada. Even though I could not speak English back then he was there to help and did everything he could to help me. 17 years later I am happy to be running for a company that has killer racer products made by one of the most genuine people in the industry. Looking forward to seeing you all at the track!
