Peak Racing PowerFlo 35 IB4200 WC Matched Cells

Peak Racing PowerFlo 35 IB4200

Peak Racing have released their new PowerFlo voltage enhanced Intellect (IB) cells, the same type of cells that won last years World 1/12th title in the hands of David Spashett. Continual updates to the PowerFlo voltage enhancement process, and increased discharge rates during testing ito 35 amps, to more realistically portray actual racing conditions, have made these cells some of the best you can get.

Team versions contain the cream-of-the-crop cell with maximum run time and voltage with low internal resistance. HV (high voltage) versions feature lower run times, but are perfect for stock, 19-turn, and spec class racing due to their very high voltage coupled with minimum internal resistance.
