• Has anyone tried the fake etap batteries? Snapped another one today and loathe to pay £40 if super glue doesn't work again

  • Just a heads up, that $8.90 price is actually for the daft plastic cover thing that game with gx axs mech!

    You need to select the battery and it works out at £18.72 for a single battery.
    It's still better than £40 but I've no idea if the are any good.
    Tempted to order one now..

    edit - tbf the last time i checked a few months back, the axs batteries on alix were £30 so it didn't really seem worth while.
    But 2 for £35 is more appealing

  • £40 aren’t they like £50 now!?! The ress as l deal ones that is

  • Ah ha, thank you! Yeah, £17 odd each does appeal but it's whether the saving is worth it for something which may die and leave me sans gears. Probably worth getting a legit one it just feels like the fakes should be decent enough given it's 'just' a battery...
