LRP Multi-Plug Hyper packs

LRP have extended their LiPo battery range with these all new power-bars. Instead of increased power, these new packs feature a true innovation, the Multi-Plug-System. Instead of fixed connectors for only one manufacturer’s plug, the new LiPo Power/Hyper Packs have a multi-connection system with which you can use Tamiya, Traxxas or US-Style connectors. LRP have also improved the internals of these brand new batteries, with more capacity than the previous batteries for longer driving fun and 30C discharge current for incredible power. The cells are covered in a hardcase, made of robust synthetic material to avoid damage and improve safety. The bulges at the bottom side make a perfect fit in every car with battery slots also possible. Available in 2600mAh, 3200mAh, 3800mAh and 4600mAh versions.
