Kraton 6S Hard case Lipos for Kraton

[Jase]

I got my Kraton 6S yesterday and presently using 2 x 3S Spektrum Batteries which work well.

However I was going to get some 6S (for convenience) but Spektrum don't do 6S with hard cases. Looking around there don't seem to be many with Hard Cases and especially with IC5 or EC5 connectors.

Just wondering if you have any recommendations?

For bashing, I run Hoovo 6s packs! Stay balanced and won’t break the bank.

Powerhobby makes some. I believe HRB should also have some. Maybe Ovonics. SMC used to as well.

Hoovo are great cheap lipos. Like ^ he said they are great for bashing

If you were to use those Hoovo batteries with an otherwise "Smart" truck, would the transmitter with the battery levels (DX3? Comes with Infraction) show the battery level?

Nope has to be the spektrum battery to show batt level

Ah, now I remember why I pay twice the price of the Hoovo's. Oh well, I rarely have time to run more than a pack or two anyway.

SMC, hobbystar make some, Gen Ace makes a semi-hard PVC pack.

I have one I’m selling for $50. It’s been used six times.

Thanks for the replies all, probably should have mentioned I'm in the UK, I had a look and the HOOVO don't seem to be available here.

This appears to be a good deal, though it isn't a hard pack. But some here say that a hard pack won't protect that much.
