Default Need new battery for Stampede VXL..

I haven't shopped for batteries for over a year and I need to get new ones because my 2 Ener-G batteries are are done. With one it looks like 1 of the batteries are waiting to explode. The other one just won't charge for some reason. So my question is... Where can I find some good batteries? Not too expensive and I don't need LiPo.

Thanks, Nic

If you want more of the EnerGs Promatchracing.com has the cheapest prices I've seen. If you're using stick packs it would be good to upgrade to side by side.

I thought the Ener-g's were the best.....How many cycles did you have on them?

SxS from promatch. I liked the ener-G cells also when I was using NIMH. But lipo really is the way to go not what you wanted to hear I know. You can get a lipo from hobbycity for the same price as an nimh pack .

check out spec point http://www.specpointbatteries.com/ their batteries rock. the 7 cell 4600 racing pack is all most to much for my stampede. the 3800's are a great pack with bigger than expected run times... best packs i've owned..with good cust support
