performance wise it is OK, about 60mohm IR, capacity close to 1800mah, but drops to 1600mah under 10A discharge. Big issue for me is that the molex pin will mess up your tamiya connector, making it a bit loose, since the male pins are slightly too big compared to the tamiya ones.
Excellent battery pack for any Tamiya vehicle that uses the round style packs. These weight as much as a 4000mah lipos. I use these in alot of vehicles. They also are safer for the kids so they can charge safely. Amain came through and had them in stock. I use 9 of them between multiple cars and trucks.
Don’t think twice just and to cart and let’s go.....
Reviewers generally rate this 7.2V 1800mAh NiMH pack well, with two of three giving five stars. One owner reports acceptable performance, around 60 mOhm internal resistance and near-rated capacity, but notes capacity falls to about 1600mAh under 10A discharge. The main recurring issue, raised by the four-star reviewer, is that the Molex connector's male pins are slightly oversized and can loosen a Tamiya connector. Positive comments focus on suitability for round-style Tamiya packs, a light weight compared with a 4000mAh LiPo, and use across multiple vehicles. One reviewer cites the pack being safer for children to charge. All reviews refer to the same variant.
