I been running these batteries in my Mugen MBX7R & Mugen MBX7T for a little over a year now. I have them supported with the aluminum M2C battery holder. I have to say these batteries have been excellent. Completely trouble free.
I use it in my Ko Propo EX 2, perfect fit with battery stand.
Do not buy. Had 2 of them and both have some sort of loose connection inside. All of a sudden power is lost, if you squeeze the battery, power comes back. Packs failed first time I used them on my 1/8 nitro buggy. This also happened to a racing buddy of mine with 2 other packs. Get the ProTek pack instead.
Reviewers are split on this 2S LiPo flat receiver pack. Two reviewers rate it 5/5, one describing over a year of trouble-free use in Mugen MBX7R and MBX7T models with an aluminum battery holder, and another reporting a good fit with a battery stand in a Ko Propo EX 2. One verified owner rates it 1/5, reporting that two packs developed intermittent power loss from an apparent loose internal connection, with the power returning when the pack was squeezed. That reviewer says the packs failed on first use in a 1/8 nitro buggy and that a racing acquaintance had a similar problem with two other packs. The reviewer recommends a competing ProTek pack instead. The sample is small, so the reported internal connection fault is a single account rather than a confirmed pattern.
