Here's a look at Team Orion's Carbon Pro "Shorty" Lipo battery. Named the "XS", this battery has plenty of spunk with a 4000mah run time and a 90c discharge rate. To date, these are my favorite batteries and I have tested many, many Lipo batteries.
"Shorty" packs are about a third shorter than standard 1/10th scale stick packs and are used in many of todays race vehicles including the TLR22 series, Team Associated B4.2/B5 series and Team Durango's DEX410 to name a couple. The "shorty" packs allow the driver to fit a full spec battery in a very small compartment or allows the driver to move the battery fore or aft for battery weight bias
Here's where I got them and some info from Team Orion:
Thanks to new developments, the Carbon Pro LiPo can now withstand discharge rates of up to 90C. This new technology also allows us to increase the capacity of the battery while keeping the same race legal case dimensions. 90C technology Team Orion has worked with the battery industry best engineers to develop batteries capable of delivering incredibly high currents! This is the 90C technology. Power without limits! Carbon Hard case Team Orion was the first to introduce the Carbon look hard case for LiPo batteries. The Carbon look hard case is good not only for looks but also for protecting the batteries against impacts and mechanical damage. World Champion technology Team Orion is a mutiple off-road and on-road World Championship winner. High performance, innovation and technology are key to racing success! You too can drive with the World Champion technology.
