A Main Hobbies introduce the 7.4V 5600mAh 100C square LiPo hardcase battery out of their Supreme Power series of high-performance packs. The “Square” style battery pack is an option for applications that use a side by side saddle pack setup, such as 2WD buggies and stadium trucks. When compared to a saddle pack, the square design eliminates the need for a jumper wire for increased efficiency, and at the same time cleans up the charging station by eliminating cluttered charging cables. The battery pack uses 5mm bullet connectors that can be accessed from either side of the case, allowing you to position the battery terminals in the direction that best suits your application. The battery is not yet ROAR approved, but uses the same hard plastic case that is required for use at ROAR sanctioned tracks and events.
