These are both sanyo cells. To my knowledge, the scr is more of a racer pack, and according to the info I could find it has the lesser internal resistance and best performance etc. With that being said...and both of these being 1400 nicad packs, I don't think it really matters...I would upgrade to a 4200+ nimh pack like the IP, EP, or ener-g cells, or just go lipo

I would say they are, simply because they are a newer technology. They should have more punch and especially more runtime. I have a slash ener-g pack and I'm amazed at it's runtime. I've got some ib-3800 cells and they don't really last anywhere near as long in runtime. Orion or someone even has some 5300 cells out, but I've not heard alot of reports about how they are...

What about Lipos as they hold charge better?
