hi guys

i was just wondering if someone could clear this up for me.....

ive just brought two nicad stick packs off the bay...

rc1400sp

1400np

i know the 1400 is mah and presume rc stands for racing pack,feel free to corect me if im wrong

my question though is what does the SP and NP stand for i know its a proper newbie question ,but one thats been bugging me not knowing.

can some one please put me straight.

many thanks
jtf

No idea what they mean, but I can tell you that Tamiya used the "NP" suffix on some of their Ni-Cd packs from 1992 to 1998, and the "SP" suffix from 1997 to at least 2010... I get the impression that NP were entry level, and SP were middle of the line.

cool,thank you for the dates jonny at least i know th packs are not as old as i thought,which makes me happy,so not such a newbie question after all

maybe this is a newbie question you could answer for me,wot is entry level?

how is your falcon resto coming on by the way?

jtf

Entry level? Sort of the bottom rung ... though not necessarily rubbish.

Imagine a hierarchy of baked beans - Tesco Value beans are entry level, regular Tesco are a bit better, Heinz are top of the line ... maybe not the best example



I bought & painted a TBG body for the Falcon, that's about it really ... had a bit of a foul up on the decals & I'll have to try again

My TBG body for the falcon is waiting the paint and a nice decals sheet original or repro.

think i got a box for the 1400np somewhere, maybe there is some info on it.
can look it up if interrested?

and a 1700scr box too, no batteries they where toast.

here is an old picture

I'd like to see that

I did start writing an article on the history of Tamiya batteries - but soon realised there wasn't a whole lot of information

I'll dust of what I do have & post it up later

Jonny look in Sanyo Tamiya battery have Sanyo elements (in mine)

thanks everyone for the replys
