Looking for the best bang for the buck shotgun style 7.2 non-lipo batteries out there.

I'm just a backyard basher looking for the longest run time and lipo isn't an option as the charging duties are mostly done by my sons.. and what Ive heard is lipo's are hazardous if not properly handled.

Speaking of needing things anybody have a spare speed control sitting around?

You are correct on Lipo Safety. They have come a long way but you do not want to charge them unattended. That being said, you should not be scared of them either. As far as a good stick pack with decent run time, Wolf packs are good for the money. Run time = Mah of power. The higher Mah, the longer the run time. This also comes with a little longer charge time. Stop by Hamilton Hobbies and talk to John. He can take care of your battery needs.

How much you looking to spend. I have one I am not using. :beers:

Pm me what you have and a price:thumbup:

Sent you a text...:beers:
