Reedy 3200mAh 11.1V LiPo pack

For the ultimate in power and top speed, Reedy is excited to announce an all-new 11.1V 20C LiPo battery for enthusiasts that believe you can never have too much power.

This high-power battery pack is designed specifically for use in R/C cars and trucks and a unique hard case design helps protect the battery from damage. Integrated locking nubs simulate sub-C cell profiles to allow the battery to be easily installed in a slotted touring car chassis and by simply flipping the battery over, you have a perfect installation for off-road vehicles. To reduce resistance and increase power, Reedy’s 11.V 20C LiPo battery comes equipped with TRA connector and 12AWG wires.
