The new batteries are factory matched ‘Race Series’ packs with 3300mAh, 3900mAh, 5000mAh, 5100mAh, and 5400mAh capacities split into three sub-categories:

• Thunder Power Pro Race LiPo packs have a maximum discharge rate of 30C
• Thunder Power eXtreme Race LiPo packs have a maximum discharge rate of 25C
• Thunder Power Sport Race LiPo packs have a maximum discharge rate of 20C

These Thunder Power LiPo packs for RC cars are an upgrade for any 1/10th scale electric vehicle: off-road monster trucks, rc stadium trucks, r/c buggies, on-road rc touring cars, pan and oval rc cars.

Advantages of Converting to LiPos in RC Cars & Trucks

When converting from NiMH or NiCd to Lithium Polymer packs, there are a number of advantages.

• 2-cell LiPo packs are rated at 7.4V which will give increased power compared to old 7.2V NiMH and NiCd batteries.
• LiPo batteries don’t suffer from the ‘memory’ effect, and can be recharged at any time. This means that when you finish a race, you can simply top the battery up again and be ready for another use. With NiMH or NiCd batteries, the packs had to first be discharged before charging in order to preserve the full capacity.
• LiPo batteries are lighter than NiMH and NiCd batteries meaning your RC cars and trucks will go faster!

Li-Po batteries have the ability to supply current at a high rate, measured in terms of multiples of their capacity. This is referred to as a ‘C’ rating. A lithium battery rated at 1C can transfer its entire capacity your RC vehicle in as little as one hour. A lithium battery rated at 10C can supply its entire capacity in as little as 1/10th of an hour. The new 5400mAh pack is rated at 20C, which means it can supply 20 times 5.4A for 1/20th of an hour. That’s 108A continuous for 3 minutes!

Thunder Power RC Race Series LiPo Packs are Impact Resistant and Approved by ROAR

A special hard case makes these packs different from previous Li-Po packs. Li-Po batteries are composed of individual cells, added together in series to reach the desired voltage, and in parallel to reach the desired capacity. In their natural state these cells are soft, with a surface of metallic foil, usually protected by an external layer of flexible heat-shrink plastic. As a result, impacts can dent the cells and possibly cause damage. For use in competitive racing, the official ROAR (Remotely Operated Auto Racers) specifications require a factory installed hard shell around all Lithium Polymer battery packs for impact resistance.
