Bajadre Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) look for EP cells usually good packs OP 👍 https://www.racing-cars.com/ep-stick-pack-sc4000mah-7-2v-nimh-ep4000s Edited July 29, 2022 by Bajadre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of nimh you after? 5000 mah, Advertised at £13 each with £1.75 postage. I only run crawlers so nimh suit me well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) If you aren’t completely wedded to NIMH you could pick up a pair of lipo packs with a similar capacity from Amazon for less than £14 each. https://amzn.eu/20nbdqG Edited July 29, 2022 by BigGinge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 nothing wrong with using NI-MH for crawlers, its what i tend to use, though i did recently make a Li-ion pack using a pair of 26650 4200mah cells as a 1P pack gives good run times but lighter than a NIMH 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I run Li-ions in my crawlers too 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I was buying Floureon brand NIMH packs from ebay about £19 for 3500mah, they have been superb 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
