Why all of this Venom bashing?!?!?!? StudentPilot said he drives for "fun", and doesn't want to dump a ton of cash.
After using the Venom 3000 packs, I would have to say Piranha 1900 packs are junk(), so it's all a matter of what you've
become use to, and what your needs are. Racing: get the very best.....Fooling around: Get something that provides the
a sense of fun. I have six Venom packs, they last forever in our 13x3 and 14x2 buggys, and are a good value at $20.

SMC IB4200 is $38.99 plus $10 off... for less than $30 you will NOT find a better battery pack.

Is that coupon good for each battery pack, or $10 off the total order? If it's per pack, that's a deal I might have
to get in on!!!

Per order only unfortunately.
But I thought you were talking about 1 pack. And even at $40 they're still very worth it.

What's that $10 off code? I have a $25 off coupon on a $125 order. Anybody want it?

I have been using the Tower Hobbies 1800 mah packs so I'm going to think the 3000 NIMH packs are gold! Once I've used those for a while I may think that I need more, but since I used the Tower packs for years I'm sure the 3000 mah packs will keep me entertained for a while.

I said that because I refered it to using it them with my mamba which won't work out so well and cogging will occur.

AhHa.... If I were to finally get a brushless system, I'd be using something other than Venoms as well. I got into cars to help cure
my R/C plane addiction, but cars are just as bad in terms of $$$, my growing collection, and my need for warp drive.....LOL!!!!
