Fine for bashing, I wouldnt use it for racing as it's no high performance matched GP cells, but for regular messing around it should be fine.

Maybe you should pick up some of the Maxamp 4k batteries?

Check out the Integy IBs 3600. I got mine from the LHS but much cheaper for a great deal than the price on Tower which is 36.99 IIRC.

I'd try these, they are cheaper, and I have 2 packs. I think they are very very good for the money. I use them in a RC10B4 FT with the 6.5 Novak brushless setup and deliver great run-times. I've never had them false peak or any other such problems

the ones stockerbrain mentioned are probably better than the venom 3600's. Besides for the price of the venoms + 2.99 he can get the boom booms which are a side by side configuration, have 200mah more run time, and probably have better lifetime and voltage

R/C got a point I have heard nothing but good things about BOOMBOOM's though I don't have any experience of my own with them, not yet anyway[>:]. Out of the 3600's I have I really like the SMC's, what I'd really like to do is compare them to Boom's

To tell you the truth, know one actually answered your question. Your question was "Any1 own this battery?", and since i'm pretty sure no one in this thread has that battery. Your question wasn't answered, SO HA!

Yeah, well, we all get so carried away with sharing experiences and equipment that we forget the original question. Among others, I'll raise my hand and say "my bad!"

Default RE: Any1 own this battery?

With most batteries i've heard to do the following.

1.charge at 1 amp till done and discharge.

2. charge at 2 amp till done and discharge.

3. charge at 3 amp till done and discharge.

and so on till you reach the disired rate of charge.

P.S. I can't remember where I heard this sorry.
