I’ve had two of these batteries for a year and a half now, running over 100 cycles through each. Not only have they performed excellently in my Ford Fiesta ST Rally but also in my crawlers, Stampede, and a variety of other rigs I own. Right from the start, they’ve provided impressive power and punch, which is crucial when racing on diverse terrains. Even after 100 cycles, they still perform as if they were brand new.
I now own seven Gens ace packs, varying from 2s to 6s, and each one consistently balances within .001 on all cells with 3 ohms of resistance. This shows how reliable they are in terms of balanced discharge and overall performance.
For your Ford Fiesta ST Rally, I highly recommend this battery. It enhances the car’s inherent agility and powerful Titan® 550 motor, giving you the edge in both on-road and off-road racing.
Just remember: proper LiPo maintenance is key. Always ensure they are balance charged at 3.80 volts per cell when not in use. Follow this and you’ll find these replacement batteries are a worthwhile investment that will last for years.

One of the most notable features of this battery is its consistent power output. It runs in full-power mode right up until the end, offering an impressive run time of 30 to 40 minutes. This is incredibly advantageous, especially when you’re engaged in intense rally races or off-road adventures.
I’ve used them in some pretty dirty oval races and they’ve held up beautifully, even managing to run 50 laps on the mains with power still to spare. This robust performance under challenging conditions showcases the battery’s reliability and toughness, mirroring the Fiesta ST Rally’s own rally-bred resilience.
When it comes to charging, the replacement battery is a breeze to work with. I’ve charged them at 6.2A and they didn’t even get warm to the touch, let alone heat up. This is a testament to the battery’s efficient power management and safety features.

The first thing that strikes you about this battery is its longevity and impressive speed. With this battery installed, the car behaves as if a turbocharger has been added to it. The power delivery is steady and consistent, allowing for 45-minute races on our track. This goes hand-in-hand with the endurance-based nature of the Fiesta ST Rally, which is designed for fast and intense all-surface rally action.
After multiple runs, I was thoroughly impressed with the long run times and super-fast speeds. This battery feels like adding a turbocharger to your car with its smooth power delivery that lasts for a 45-minute race on our track.
Moreover, it’s durable, with the ability to effortlessly complete over 200 charge cycles before any noticeable power drop. This reinforces the replacement battery’s quality and reliability, making it a fitting partner for the Fiesta ST Rally, which itself is built to be Traxxas-Tough.
