Robitronic 5000mAh 14.8v LiPo & Fuel bottle

Robitronic have released this 1/8th 5000mAh 4S-2P LiPo competition pack. This 14.8 volt battery is designed for use in 1/8 off road buggy, truggy and monster truck and with a discharge rate of 50C, this pack leaves nothing to be desired. Due to this battery being used in the tough off-road environment it comes housed in a hard case. Robitronic have also released this competition line fuel bottle. Its most striking feature is the super soft bottle, which has been made from a very elastic material, which requires less effort to exactly fill up or remove fuel from the tank. A special attachment on the base of the pipe prevents you losing the cap by giving you somewhere secure to place it during refuelling.
