Reedy 2400mAh & 3400mAh get TCS approval

Reedy’s all-new 2400mAh and 3400mAh rounded stick pack profile LiPos, which were announced back in February, have been declared legal for use in Tamiya TCS Series competition. The rounded stick pack profile means they are a perfect fit in cars that accept stick packs exclusively, such as Tamiya M-chassis vehicles. However, their universal size means that they can fit in any electric vehicle that accepts 7.2V NiMH stick battery packs. An additional design characteristic is the single cell “humps” that key into chassis that accept NiMH batteries in a side-by-side configuration. Economically priced, both packs are perfect for spec class competitions due to the fitment in a wide variety of cars. A Tamiya style connector with 12AWG comes standard, but the connector is easily changed to accommodate individual requirements.
