you can't just use regular c cells, you'd have to find HD C cells...

hd?

They are bigger and heavier.

nbcaznmaster-hd means high discharge

Yeah, I've only see Chris Fine of finedesign, carrying those.. only $3.50 a piece.. what a steal, but it's Nicad.. 80 amps for 1 minute.. that is WICKED...

It doesn't beat a GP3300 though..

A GP3300 cell can't put out 80 amps over more than brief periods. I can vertify this from running a very high amp drain motor (Feiago 540 6s with a Mtroniks sticker), if I parallel the packs its actually a bit faster in spite of the weight (matched GP3300 8 cell packs).

I don't know about that's hard to believe....

I thought GP3300's are only rated at 10-12C continuously....

if it can do 80 amps.. Why am I buy LiPo's for... :)

Mabye I should go back to GP3300's.. :)

Some sites rate the GP3300s as 100 amps.. like BK's site.. I think it's bullSh*t... Does anyone know the real continuous discharge rates of the GP batteries.. .
if it's 80 amps.. I"m gettin' some right away....

HOLY SH*T.. I was wrong...

GP 2600 can do 100amps for 15 seconds...
GP 3300 can do 45 amps continuous...

wow.. gotta get me some 2600's....

anyone knows the specs for the GP3700's or the IB3800's?..

2600? Sub C or C? The only GP's I'm farmilar with that are 2600 are AA size, which I somehow doubt can do 100 amps :)

me too, lol, i do not know what the heck is going on here lol. So guys, just tell me which batteries i should roll with. gp3300?

ibc 3800s. no doubt.

how much biggeer are they? Are they longer or jsut bigger in diameter?

The IB3800 cells are the same size (give or take half a mm) as GP3300's as they are cells designed for RC use. They're your safest bet unless you want to sink a bit more $$ into the GP3700's, which may or may not be better.
