Team Orion Supercharge XX 8.4V NiMh pack

Team Orion have introduced the Supercharge XX, the company’s latest battery for Traxxas E-Revo VXL and 1/16 Slash VXL cars. Thanks to an additional cell it has 8.4V instead of the standard 7.2V, resulting in more power, better acceleration and more fun. But how do you manage to put one more cell into a battery compartment if the cells are just too big. If you are Team Orion you just build a new, custom made, cell. Thanks to a downsized cell, which has never been sold before, they were able to build a 8.4V NiMh battery pack which fits into the battery compartment of the Traxxas 1/16 cars.
