If you see the words "super quality battery" on it, it is probably not true. Wire gauge looks small in the picture, but I'd bet they are not any worse than a Venom pack. They pretty much have to be using the cheapest cells they can get their hands on. You could try them and report back to us.

yeah junk, the cardboard tubing and tiny gauge wiring are never a good sign. They might be good for a nitro starter, or a brushed silver can motor but that's about it.

They'd be fine in a stock truck I'm sure. But you could spend 70 bucks and get 2 AWESOME 7.2v packs from Pro-match. Maybe 80 with shipping. But they'd last aheckuvalot longer than those and you could run just about what ever you wanted with them.
