    nice! once in a while Amazon has them too at $199. been looking at options for my Helix and settled on a Vexilar pack at $34. After I fit it up the way I want, she is going to be the cat’s A$$

    I have a shuttle but it won’t last 6 hrs while sitting on the ice so I went the Vexilar Pro Pack route and really like it. I run a LX 9 and it fits on there perfect and with a Dakota Lithium it’s light waytogo

    The batteries in those things suck. I was surprised when I seen the real world results of load test the Amped battery guy had, a graph of 4 or 5 batteries and the shuttle was one of the worst at holding a good voltage and run time.

    I was unaware of that. I know they advertise 40 hours run-time.

    They have very long run time. Not sure if the other poster had a defective unit.

    Yes when I first got my Shuttle it was great but at 1 year old it went to hell. They said if it was a year or less old they’d cover it but mine was 1 year and a month. I tried finding a replacement battery but was told the one that fits is exclusively Marcum so I went another route.

    I’ve seen a lot of Marcum products that have less than stellar reliability…
