Kid? I'm a grown *** man...

Anyways, if he wants to give you stuff for free, go for it. But as everyone has said half cost is great (ebay), but you do get what you pay for.

thanks guys for all the input. mercedes im not worried about you flaming up my thread, i'd do it to if someone was screwing with my product. i know ebay is sometimes a rip, but i've bought good quality stuff off there. i asked about this item because i've heard of battery packs blowing up and everything i just didn't want that to happen to me. so thanks again for all your guys input, i really appreciate it.

Get the pack, rewire it, the wires are worse than stocks, and the deans are fake. How many times have I said this on this exact forum? Like a million...
Point is, you get what you pay for. Atomicmods has lots of knowledgeable providers but keep in mind their prices are higher, due to they have to support a whole staff. The ebay packs will not blow your boards up, if you wire them right. The only thing I have against is that the cells have poor discharge rates compared to the cells I used, and the wires/deans were of below average quality. I doubt it was the sellers fault, the cells cannot just instantly explode and vent out of nowhere.... there must be a cause, and it is not the pack, more of a buyer install
The ebay GPM from Chauho or whatever his/her name is... is Hot Racing, GPM took the time to slot their products for less weight, and their knuckles don't have screw-on caps. Just to clear that up--get GPM, it fits better and is cheaper in the end (stupid knuckle caps stripped, so I did lots of gpm parts)

They sell lithium, it works ppl give good feedback, boom right after a little while your screwed.

1. His chargers just directly charge, they can charge and never stop and just explode. No indication, his recoomendation is that you charge 30mins to 1 hour And there is not light indications just red.

2. TOTALLY different mAh ratings, they aren't meant to be used with xmods. Dude I do my research.

3. They can damage your board and fry FETs. IDK when i was performing tests, all of a sudden the voltage spiked, yellow gooey stuff came out, and my FETs fried

My logic is that I have tried tons of battery packs, FETs, and different types of CF, I know my stuff.

DIRECT QUOTE (from a user who had his liths destroy his car on the spot)!
I hate that guy, I bought GPM rear gold knuckles from him, and he sent me silver front and the bastard would even reply to my emails.
