The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: More Track Time, Maximum Protection! When you are trading paint in our ad hoc parking lot races, the only thing worse than a broken part is a dead battery. The Hobby Hideaway Team highly recommends this G-Tech 1700mAh LiPo as the ultimate power upgrade for your 1/12 scale Losi NASCAR or Arrma Grom. It provides a significant bump in runtime over the standard factory pack, meaning fewer pit stops and more laps, while the rugged hard case ensures your power source survives the inevitable heavy impacts of close-quarters racing.
Power You Can Depend On Upgrading to a 35C discharge rate gives your vehicle that extra "punch" off the starting line and out of tight corners. But the real star here is the hard case construction. Pavement is unforgiving, and a standard soft-pack LiPo is vulnerable to punctures or denting if your chassis takes a hard hit. This battery shields the LiPo cells inside a rigid plastic shell, giving you the peace of mind to push your driving limits on the asphalt without worrying about damaging your power source.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Extended Runtime: The 1700mAh capacity provides noticeably longer driving sessions compared to standard 1400mAh factory batteries.
High-Discharge Punch: The 35C rating delivers consistent, explosive power for rapid acceleration and high top speeds.
Armored Hard Case: A durable outer shell protects the internal LiPo cells from physical damage during crashes, rollovers, and wall-taps.
Direct Grom Fitment: Perfectly sized to drop directly into the battery tray of the 1/12 Losi NASCAR and all Arrma Grom AWD vehicles without modification.
Reliable Connection: Equipped with an IC2/EC2 compatible connector for a secure, high-current link to your ESC.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because this is a high-performance LiPo battery, proper care is essential to maximizing its lifespan! Never leave this battery fully charged if you aren't going to use it within 48 hours. When you are done racing for the weekend, always use your charger's "Storage" setting to bring the battery to a safe resting voltage. This prevents the cells from swelling and ensures your battery is ready to deliver maximum punch for your next parking lot showdown!
