Thunder Power Pro Lite series LiPo batteries have been the standard by which all ‘lite’ weight, high-performance LiPo batteries have been measured since 2005. Often imitated but never duplicated, Pro Lite series batteries still offer the highest energy density (capacity and power per weight) in the RC LiPo battery market today. They’re also the industry’s best-selling and most reliable series of LiPo batteries ever.

The all-new 2600mAh Pro Lite V2 series batteries offer the same great benefits of current Pro Lite series batteries–including the most capacity, at the lowest weight and in the smallest size possible–but are the first to feature the new V2 chemistry. This chemistry offers increased discharge rate capability, as well as higher voltage under typical and heavy loads. The extremely low resistance of the V2 chemistry allows the 2600mAh batteries to deliver more power than most 2000-2200mAh 25C+ discharge capable batteries, but with 20-30% more useable capacity at nearly the same weight.

For example, the weight and dimensions of the new 2600mAh 3S 11.1V Pro Lite V2 battery (THP26003SPL2) are almost exactly the same as the ever-popular 2200mAh 3S 11.1V eXtreme V2 battery, yet the 2600mAh battery typically offers similar or more power and more flight duration in the same application. Flight tests by extreme 3D heli pilots have also proven that THP26003SPL2 is now one of the best batteries of choice for maximum power, performance and duration in E-flite® Blade 400, Align T-REX 450 and other mini-class helicopter models! The performance surpasses that of the most popular batteries used for these models today, and it’s available at a price that offers incredible value.

You can see the amazing performance of the 2600mAh Pro Lite V2 battery in the discharge curve below. The ability to deliver more than 95% of the rated capacity at discharge rates up to 18C is no ordinary feat, and makes it unlike any other battery ever available in its class before.
Available in configurations from 2S 7.4V to 6S 22.2V, 2600mAh Pro Lite V2 batteries are perfectly suited for small to mid-size, 450- to 15-size airplane models, and mini to mid-size helicopter models. They’re a great replacement for 1800-2200mAh batteries when added flight duration, with little to no expense of added weight, is desired. And with prices similar to or less than other products in their class, the new 2600mAh Pro Lite V2 batteries will further establish the Pro Lite series as not only the technology and performance leader, but also as the leader in value too!

The current world speed record for an RC car is 134.4 miles per hour (216.3 kilometers per hour). A test run of the X3 has been clocked at a speed of 83 miles per hour, but design changes are underway to improve upon this. The motor has a theoretical maximum speed of 274 miles per hour, but friction limits the actual speed that the RC car can achieve. An aerodynamic body is designed to minimize air friction and increase the speed of the RC car to its design goal of 200 miles per hour.

At such incredible speeds, a human driver cannot possibly control the RC car sufficiently. This is why a pair of aerodynamic fins and a gyroscope have been added to the RC car’s body. Without control input, the RC car can speed down a large length of pavement in a perfectly straight line.

The designers also replaced the rubber tires usually used by RC cars with lightweight foam. Unlike the rubber wheels which generate large amounts of heat, the foam wheels can be used at high speeds without danger of disintegrating.

You can read more about the X3 electric RC car at its creators blog.

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.
