This review is from: Bastens LiPo 7.4V 5000mAH upgrade battery for the Traxxas 2x4 4x4 VXL Raptor Stampede - Rustler - Bandit - Slash - XO-1 - 1/10 E-Revo Brushless - E-Maxx Brushless - a must upgrade or a high capacity alternative replacement - a factory fit! - Velinion VXL-3s ESC Brushless 3500 motor ready - (Electronics)
I have just made the switch from NiMh to LiPos so I have no other brands to compare with. But with my Velineon motor, these batteries are a beast and they last forever. I actually get tired of my car before the batteries even run out. I couldn't believe it when people say they drive from 45-60 minutes on lipos. But I do now and I can say I have driven for at least 45 minutes and wondered when the batteries would run out. So far I have not gone a full session of driving my R/C around until the batteries died. I am so used to yesterday's NiMh batteries, where you'd get maybe 12 minutes of hard racing and your done. I am done racing before these batteries are. Awesome batteries and they fit in my older model Rustler very snug but they fit without modifications. I am very pleased with this company's product. I bought two thinking I would need to swap out after a couple minutes or so, but after about 45 minutes I am still going.

I have a couple of these batteries for my VXL 4x4 Stampede, my 2x4 Stampede, and my brand new Raptor Slash.
My 2x4 stampede still has the original motor, and this battery makes it go considerably faster for a much longer time. Plus, this battery charges very quickly when used with the balance charger. I have been using the Bastens charger: Fast LiPo Battery Balance Charger - 40 Watt - 4.5 Amp - 1 2 3 or 4 cell batteries - Connectors included for the Parrot AR Drone & Traxxas 2x4 4x4 VXL Stampede / Bandit / Slash / E-Revo / E-Maxx / Summit & Losi EC2 1/16 Mini ReadyLift SCT - My friends are concerned I will burn out my motor, but so far it is going strong. If it does burn out, I plan on getting a brushless kit because my competition has a brushless motor and a battery like this and they smoke me every time.

Owned for less than a week,but have put it through about 5 cycles and I am very impressed. My stock rustler runs forever, almost 45 minutes of constant speed runs and bashing. The motor even runs a little cooler than on the stock NiMh battery which is a big bonus with the stock titan motor. The fit was very good in the battery tray, and the battery has charged to around 5100 mAh so the capacity is right on. The battery also runs nice and cool, I haven't seen it hit 90 F yet, charging or discharging.
