Muchmore Impact FD2 4S LiPo battery packs

Coming from Muchmore are two new Impact Linear FD2 series 14.8V 4S LiPo battery packs with XT60 connectors for 1/8th scale applications. First up is a 6500mAh variant that measures 138x47x47.5mm and weighs in at 545g. It is built using 100C cells and comes pre-wired with XT60 power and XH balance connectors. Also new is a low-profile 5200mAh pack that measures 138×46.5×36.mm at a weight of 452g. Using the smaller capacity pack will kill some runtime but the lower centre of gravity comes in handy especially on higher grip tracks.
