Has 3.5mm bullets. Surprised. Thought they would be 2mm.

But these should be great for Micro B racing!

It comes with a adapter to use in the car and for charging. Note, which I just noticed this, max charge rate is 1C max! Weird that it's only 1C most lipos today should handle 2C. Wonder what protek did to cause/mandate a low charge rate.

is it worth it to get this battery?

If your racing it (and if rules allow for HV), yes.

Or if you want more run time than the stock, I believe 350mah spektrum? Also sure

But I believe most still run the stock spektrum batteries and run times are fairly decent so.
