I'm going back to the range on Monday and bringing my POS Hacker with me. I've got a case of 1,000 rounds of 30-06 ammo I bought just because the price was right but it's not good enough for hunting, I don't have any more lipos to blow apart but the motor should make for a nice trophy :party:

Speaking of eating words, my new 8000s seem to be performing quite well so far. They're holding their voltage under load noticeably better than my old ones, running a little cooler, and they seem to be staying very well balanced. My first pack was perfectly balanced after discharging 4500 of the 8000 mAH, and the second pack was out of balance by 0.01v which my balancer quickly fixed. I hope they hold up for longer than my first ones, they only got 150-200 cycles out of them before they started going downhill. This makes it much easier to stomach the fact that I spent over $400 on these lipos :eyes:

150 cycles is quite good actually.

I've been told 300-500 cycles on a lipo is considered good life. They weren't even charged at 1C and were run well below their max rated amperage, too.
