Reviews for ProTek RC LiPo Receiver Battery Pack (Mugen/AE/8ight-X) (7.4V/2300mAh) [PTK-5196]

I have a mbx6t and I love the way the battery fits in the car but the durability of this battery is lousey. I have 2 of these and neither is worth having.After 3 or 4 charges the batterys (both of them swelled up) neither pack would balance,as far as I am concerned that was 80.00 wasted.

I bought four of these (2 for me and 2 for my son) and already we have had two of the puff up and no longer able to be used and we have only had these a few months... I'm off to find a better battery for my M11x...

Used this pack for 3 days, and of course on the 3rd day which was the mains something internal breaks on the battery 4 minutes into the A-main, so thanks alot protek.

Fits the MBX6 perfectly, well super snug, but MAJOR issue is that you have to watch these packs as they swell. Only charge at 1.0amp and not the standard 2.3amps. These are touchy about being overcharged, discharged, and heat. I think ProTek 'Amain' needs to redesign these or have the company who makes these put better LIPO cells in these RX packs. I like all other ProTek items but these are way down on the list of the normal quality you would expect from ProTek, so I would suggest to look elsewhere for the LIPO RX flat packs.

It's gonna be a pain to pull this back out. Installed it a few weeks ago and tried charging it today. Only one cell registers, the other is dead. Pulled out another 2s rx pack and it was fine.

Should of paid attention to the 1 star reviews, they apparently are warranted.

Update:Jun at Amain took care of the issue, quickly and easily. HE even went out to personally check the replacement being sent.

Daniel, you joking right?
It is a LIPO and requires a lipo charger. There are plenty to pick from. I like the hyperion line of chargers.

wires coming out of battery brake off for balance plug only had it a month buy something else.

Using this pack in an SRX8 RTR car. Pack fits okay, but use a piece of foam to snug up the fit.

Did not have luck, I got one DOA, but AMAIN made it right! Awesome customer service!

Way too tight of a fit for the 8ight X, it smashes the wire's where they connect to the cells and if you drive a lot it's only a matter of time before things get sketchy. Fortunately A-main credited me for it before it burnt my car down. There's many other better options for the 8ight.

Brand new out of the box defective. 1 dead cell. Very disappointing...

Great pack with good capacity. It can be used in my buggy or my transmitter. Works great in long main events. I have been using this for years in my buggy.

très bonne lipo deux saisons de course sans problèeme.

Excellent battery, good capacity and fits perfectly into the mbx7r

Been running mines 2 years and they work just fine!!!

I've been using these for a couple of years now, They have never let me down. I've never had one puff up and I get great run-time out of them.

I really like this batt....I actually run one in my MX-3X transmitter & one in my MBX7, I've never had a single problem with either one all season, the Tx battery lasts several trips to the track and the Rx batt I run a charge through after each main race, no problems.

This receiver and radio battery fit perfectly in my Mugen MBX7 and Airtronics M11x. Lasts for DAYS on 1 charge!

Excelente Bateria, ya tengo 3 meses usandola y es perfecta, liviana y resistente para mi MBX6R, dura todo el dia en la pista y no tengo que preocuparme por cargarla, mas que suficiente para un fin de semana de competencias.

Great battery pack! Fits perfectly in the Durango truck or buggy.
