New from MIBO is this RC drifting specific lipo battery, the Drift King Shorty HV LiPo. This is high-performance battery is designed for use in remote control cars but in particular for drifting. With a capacity of 4000mAh, this battery provides a long run time and can handle high discharge rates of up to 130C continuous and 260C burst. The 7.6V voltage rating allows for efficient power transfer to the motor, while the 2S configuration is a standard for most electronic setups and provides a good balance between power and weight. The HV (high voltage) designation means that this battery can be charged up to 4.35V per cell, which results in increased power output and speed. The shorty form factor and low thickness of this battery are ideal for fitting into most current competition chassis and optimising weight distribution for better handling and maneuverability.
