Due out in january:yes:

wow 400 amp burst sounds like it should hold up to the 2s speed record attempts......

depends. Price is going to be about 130 each... 2 of them would be good in 1/8

Better.
 

WOW 40C!!! The batteries just keep getting better & better, but I sure hope that the prices start comming down soon. Considering where our economy is headed no one will be able to afford them. Things are going to get much worse once the big auto makers start laying off, and the job market will be flooded with people looking for work. The domino affect is already starting. The package also looks nice with that carbon fiber case.:yes:

200A Contionious omg!

But how many C burst? 60C, 80C? I can't read it..

Here is a thread from rctech . A couple of guys from thunder power repliy in the thread .

so what about the 3cell pack????? so its very powerfull 40c ...i can imagine my e-revo whit a 6 cell set-up on 40c lipo:whip:

why does the balancer have 4 wires coming off of it? sory if its a stupid question but my 2s only have 3 wires.

Maybe they plan on only releasing 2s and 3s models and don't want to use different plugs. Maybe keeping the uneccessary wire there helps to act like a strain relief for the other three needed wires.

Or maybe a thermal probe which would be nice on a hard case pack - wishful thinking

That is wishful thinking...but, it is the season for wishes...:whistle:

Would the 4th wire parallel off to the 2 cells?

Horizon hobby will be selling them to

Thunder power lipo

Has anybody tried these out yet?

Maybe I'll buy the 3S 5000mAh with 40C, but first I want to hear some things about these LiPo's..

Yeah...me too except I may buy a pair of the 2S/40C packs. TP and FP make excellent products so I can't imagine that they aren't top notch.

Cheesecake has a pair of them. we were at the track this weekend and he was switching off between the 40c TP packs and 25c NeuEnergy packs. He had a few mechanical problems with his buggy during qualifying and wound up in the c main I think. Anyway he won the C and got the bump up to the next main, swapped the batterys out and put in the 40C packs and on the first lap blipped the throttle like he got used to doing with the 25C packs and overjumped the big double by 50% longer than he needed too. He said that the 40C pack have a VERY noticable punch difference vs the 25c packs.

I'm sure he will cime in sooner or later.

How much do these packs weigh?

Nevermind... found it... 304g.

Not sure if it is mentioned but the packs are 2s2p 2500mah cells. They look good, I want a 6s soft pack of them...

I am usually not a fan of 2p packs. Maybe my maxamps experiences have tainted me a bit. Seems like one cell of the pair is always weaker. I am sure tp's matching will address that issue. I would like to hear Jason's (of tp) take on pack balancing... Wonder if he agrees with apogee and their no balancing required views...

Hmm, I missed this thread.... :oops:

:surprised:!!!!! Holy crap- almost 3.5V /cell under 200A load??? That's rediculous!!?? :lol: Who would need such power? :wink:

Thats easy...
 

Thats an easy one. We don't just want to show the nitro guys up. We want to stomp them into the ground showing no mercy. Could you imagine going into a race with the nitro guys laughing at your battery powered toy. You go easy on them for 3/4 of the race,and then turn up the volume and blow them away asking them what radio shack they bought there vehicle at. That is what some us strive for. Not just enough power to finish the race, but enough power to drive faster than ever thought possible before with battery power in a little R/C truck. Thats why....

That sounds... AMAZING! I want them for my LST conversion, now I'm pretty sure. 2 x 3S with 40C, THAT would rock :yipi:

I think your flux capacitor would.

Hey you're right! Let's see... By my calculations I'll need about 8192 of these packs to power it. That would be in a 64s128p configuration. :lol:

These packs are awesome. i was very surprised in the power difference they had a lot more punch then the neu 25c packs.
