Why the hard case matters
The integrated hard shell adds structural integrity—shielding the battery from shocks, knocks, and drops. Ideal for RC cars, buggies, trucks, and any model subjected to rugged terrain, it protects both the cells and wiring from abuse.
Battery performance during use
This pack offers both endurance and power. Whether you’re running continuous sessions or need sudden power bursts for acceleration, the 55C burst rate ensures your model responds swiftly without voltage sag. The 30C continuous rate keeps you running reliably through long sessions.
Compatibility and usage
This battery is engineered for 1/10 to 1/8 scale RC models—whether Traxxas-style vehicles, short course trucks, or on-road buggies. The combination of high capacity, hard-case protection, and Deans connector flexibility makes it an ideal fit for racers and casual drivers alike.
Advantages compared to soft-pack cells
Standard LiPo cells housed in shrink-wrap can deform or puncture during impacts. This hard-case version maintains its structural shape and protects vulnerable areas, reducing gear damage and increasing operational longevity.
Typical use cases
- Competitive RC racing, where high bursts and reliable power are essential
- Off-road and desert bashing, demanding durable, vibration-resistant battery setup
- Prolonged practice runs or trail runs where extended runtime matters
- Replacing worn or damaged soft LiPo packs with a more impact-resistant option
Care and storage tips
- Always store LiPo at around 50–60% charge in a cool, ventilated fire-safe location
- Balance charge using the JST-XH plug after each use to maintain cell health
- Avoid completely depleting the battery—cutoff voltage should be around 3.2 V per cell
- Check the hard case regularly for cracks, especially after crashes
Spotlight comparison
- Stock Soft LiPo 5300 mAh 2S: lightweight but vulnerable to puncture
- Hard-case Overlander 3141DEANS: same capacity with reinforced protection—ideal for rugged usage

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
