RE: BATTERIES
I have 4 packs of the 4500Mah 6 cell packs for about 6 months now... I've had no problems with any of the packs to date.. I have run about 30 cycles thru them and the best I can get is about 4100Mah, but I didn't expect much more than that... for basher packs they are tough to beat... If you are racing, look elsewhere.. I prefer to run Lipo's, but I did cut up one pack and turn it into a 9 cell pack for a few speed runs with my VXL vs 11.1 volt.. The pack lacks the low end punch of a lipo or top end race pack, but the top speed was the same... and thats what I was looking for... (top speed the same as another high end Nimh, not Lipo).. I use these packs for my Brushless Motorcycle as I don't want to risk high end Lipo's in a bike.. I paid around $25 per pack on ebay when I found a sale...

RE: BATTERIES
Depends on what you run them on, but they tend to overheat and blow up under high drain conditions. For totally stock setups they're probably fine. But if you run a modified motor that's gonna pull a lot out of the batteries you'll want a better quality pack.
