CRC 2011 LiPo pack line-up

Calandra Racing Concepts has been very busy in the lab brewing up some powerful LiPo packs for 2011. All the batteries are specially built to their high standards of performance and durability. They mold their own cases, layup the lithium polymer chemical and assemble the cells to produce race winning packs that out perform all others, on the track and on the test machines. Unlike the many sticker manufactures that simply re-label some off the shelf LiPo cell, they make performance batteries, not just decals. The new line-up includes a 6300mAh 50C 3.7V 1S pack, a 5600mAh 65C 3.7V 1S pack, a 5600mAh 65C 7.4V 2S pack and finally a low price 6100mAh 55C pack which is pre wired with deans connector.
