400mah 7.6V LiHV Hardcase Battery Pack

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Ultimate Power Meets Chassis Stability! When you are racing 1/28 scale cars, every gram and every millimeter of wire matters. Reflex Racing’s new 400mAh LiHV Hardcase Battery delivers longer runtimes, lower internal resistance (IR), and a noticeable performance boost over standard 340mAh packs—all while only adding a minimal 2g of weight. At Hobby Hideaway, we consider this hardcase pack an essential upgrade not just for the power it delivers, but for the incredible handling and consistency it brings to your chassis.

Why Hardcase? Consistency is Key A hardcase battery eliminates the dangling plugs and long, messy wires found on soft packs. In a micro RC where we use 0.9g mass dampers to balance the car, a loose battery wire bouncing around during a race can actually unsettle your suspension. A hardcase battery sits solidly in place, ensuring your car's center of gravity remains perfectly static. This translates to a vehicle that behaves smoothly and predictably through every corner, keeping you planted on the track.

Maximum Efficiency and Safety The hardcase design cuts down on connection points by utilizing direct gold bullet plugs. This drops the internal resistance of the entire circuit, leading to better current flow, less heat loss, and more consistent punch throughout your heat. Capable of being safely charged to 8.6V, it gives you that winning edge. Furthermore, the hard shell protects the delicate LiPo cells from impacts and chassis punctures, while eliminating the risk of wires breaking at the shrink wrap.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• High Voltage Power: 400mAh LiHV capacity, safe to charge up to 8.6V for maximum performance.

• Optimized Handling: Hardcase design eliminates shifting weight from loose wires, improving overall chassis stability.

• Clean Installation: Bullet-to-battery system opens up tremendous space under low-slung bodies (like Pan Cars) for pristine wiring.

• Fitment: Fits the RX28 (when using the 24mm battery conversion kit or 102mm WB Chassis), most AWD cars, and any chassis capable of fitting a 24mm wide battery.

• Dimensions: 44.5mm Length | 24mm Width | 12.5mm Height.

• Weight: 19g.

• Includes: 1 battery pack and 2 gold bullet plugs.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: To get the longest lifespan and best performance out of this LiHV pack, we recommend charging it at a steady 1.0A. For maximum consistency on the track, make sure the battery is mounted snugly in your chassis tray. A battery that doesn't shift during high-speed transitions or after a jump will give you the predictable handling required to hit your apexes lap after lap, ensuring you finish the race strong!
