alright cool, but are the maxamps 8k lipos better than the zippys? i mean they say 160 cont amps on it. better than the 100 you said for the zippy. BTW Its The (HV) One.

I had gotten over Kermie and Bunny Love. Thanks alot guys, back to therapy.........

Thanks for changing the avatar Twzted. That BS was before your time... Better off left in the past.

Maxamps ratings tend to be a bit inflated. The 8000 packs will definately do fine, they are more like 15c packs, but that is still over 100 amps. Weight/size may be a concern, that is why I went to 6s and use the flightpower 30c 4500. It just fit the area better than anything else (doesn't hurt that I paid 100 bucks for the pack off rcgroups, love those plane guys, they take such good care of their lipos!) Measure up the area you have and eyeball the specs a bit. Lipo decisions are never easy, so good luck. Keep posting and we can help you get the system you want!

im going to browse rc groups once in a wile to see if i can pick up a deal like that on a nice used battery i mean id rather run one battery.

Just look there, they always have great deal on lightly used stuff. I have bought at least 12 lipos from rcgroups, and not had an issue. Make sure they have good pics, and list the number of cycles. And the trader ratings work well on that site, so check them out too.

anybody know what the max amps the traxxas connector can handle?

when running batteries in series does the discharge rate double?

No just the voltage.

Parallel would doube the discharge rate, but maintian the same voltage as one pack.

So 2 3s 4000 packs in series would be 6s 4000

And the same in parallel would be 3s 8000
