As a receiver battery, there is no need for a regulator due to the lower nominal voltage compared to a Lipo. Venom is offering two new packs one in a flat and the other a hump configuration suitable for most 1/10th and 1/8th scale fuel power cars, trucks or truggies. All Venom batteries come with the Venom Lifetime Battery Replacement Plan.
