Buying batteries

[kenji]

If one wanted to buy single cells 3000 and 3300 to build your won
packs...where would be the best place? Online store?

You are better off just buying a pre-built or matched pack set... with cells
ranging from $6-$10 each, why would you want to build your own? The battery
market is so competitive and the prices are so low these days. I usually buy
mine from www.integy.com there are others but their quality and prices are
excellent. The matched pack sets offer you a lot more performance and
prebuilt sport packs are extremely cheap.

I'm seeing high voltage 3300's 1.15 thru 1.17 cels selling on ebay for
about 5 bucks a cell. I need to have about 12 sets of six pack cels
because we race 3 cars once a week. Sometimes I don't want to wait the
week for an auction to end then wait again for the product to arrive,
and I figured there's gotta be someone online selling the cells for
about the same price as the auctions.

I am running Dynamite's DynaFun 3000 stick packs. They're good, but in
testing some of the cels it looks like I could get about a 25%
perforamnce boost if I found higher voltage cels. We race 19T spec
motors, like a Trinity Chameleon. From what I know spec motors perform
really well with higher voltage cells. Matched cells aren't necessary,
just higher voltage cells.

I'll check out the integy website.....Thanks!

look for battery bricks. I think they come 24 cells to the pack unmatched
and unattached.
