The inner battery mounts hold two 7.2V NiMH or 7.4V LiPo packs that are connected using the factory-installed T-plug connectors. Usable for 1/8th nitro buggies or nitro truggies the box comes pre-assembled and including adjustable chassis location pins.

Reedy 2100mAh 14.8V starter box LiPo battery

New from Reedy comes a dedicated LiPo battery pack for nitro starter boxes. Offering a capacity of 2100mAh the 14.8V softcase pack is of a small footprint at 103x35x28mm and it weighs in at 209g. This makes the battery easy to install and it is barely noticeable during transport to and from the track. A high discharge race of 20C makes for a lot of power while the pre-installed T-plug connector and XH balancer plug allows for easy charging and secure balancing.
