Dynamite 6.6V 220mAh Li-Fe RX pack

These new Dynamite 6.6V 220mAh LiFe Receiver packs were designed specifically for 1/12th scale on-road enthusiasts looking for increased power over traditional NiMH packs. These packs are lighter than standard NiMH and include an on/off switch for ease of use. LiFe chemistry makes the batteries safer than conventional LiPo batteries but offers the advantage of decreased weight versus NiMH packs providing improved power to weight ratio.

Seen for the first time at the toy fair in Germany, the first product introduced by Swedish company DirtChamp Design is the multiuser RC Lap Counting system called TimeR.
