gp batts?
 

should i get ib cells or gp cells???? im getting into racing and my parents are going to get me all started, i mostly want to mess around at my local track so i dont need matched and zapped, unless the cells life will be longer, i dont want to spend more then 50 a pack assembled, doesnt matter on connectors, id rather they soldered them so i dont have to buy more deans, but it doesnt matter to much

thanks:018:

and if anyone asks, my budgt on batts could be no more then 200 for 4 packs, jsut the packs not shipping and all, thats ok if it goes to more because of shipping

and i dont want to order from cbp's, somehwere else, unless u guys think there good enuff to race with

You can get either, depends on the mah, gp 3300 pack a good punch, ib 4200 i guess give good run time....what are you using them in?

a hb cyclone, and a trinity co27 27 turn motor

run times need to bee 15 20 mins, price will determin that lol... id like as long of runtime i can get with 50 bucks a pack, i guess if i did like 4200 i could get less, but i want a minimum of 3 packs (one cooling, one charging, and one running)

i will be using a superbrain 989 charger, so can someone tell me what setting or anything i should do? no dischager, i am not going to be that competitive yet, so thats why i want more basic



and if anyone knows, whats a good speedo thats fwd only? undeer 70 bucks.. thanks

Gp 3700's are great cells. As for the superbrain, you can charge your packs @ 1C for longer runtime and less punch, or charge them at around 1.5-2C for less runtime but more punch, it will also shorten the batteries life, but you will get more out of your pack when it comes to performance/waiting.

thanks!


now where can i order my stuff? assembled packs online?

This website sells IB4200WC Packs for a good price.

This website has a review of some of their IB3800 packs

I have one question though, why not go lipo? You have the 989 charger, so you can charge lipos already. Flightpower sells some 2s1p 3700mAH packs that I think would be great for stock racing. Although they are $90 apiece, they should be MUCH better than any NiMh pack.

Just my $.02

Brad

my track doesnt allow lipos, ot not yet any way, so i stick to these packs

and thanks for the links!

Here is another link to a site that sells assembled packs.

Thats too bad that your track doesnt allow lipos. One more ?, where do you race? BTW your stampede looks really nice!

there to much money for me lol


i race at a track called speed world

and thanks! its for sale also

I'm curious why you need 15-20min of runtime per pack? That's much longer than a usual race, unless your local track is pushing the limits. Most electric on-road races are only 5mins.

for practice rounds, im just going to screw around at my track for a while till i get the tuning, and all that down... so with that i want runtime to mess around... then when i get into in in to it and start really racing i will get lower mah packs that are zapped and matched


and yeh the races are 5 mins

If you're interested, I have a couple of older matched GP3300 packs I could sell you cheaply for practice packs. They still hold a great charge. They are both SMC matched and 1 pack is 1.175avg v/cell the other is 1.177avg v/cell. Both are side x side assembled and have deans connectors. Just PM me if you're interested.

thanks jolly!!!!!!! its on my list :D

i personally drive ko's, but they are over your budget.
lrp is good aswell.
good choice on the CO aswell, its a beast in 27T.:)

what now????? lol what is ko?

and much is it going??? and last, u race on road?

www.kopropo.com
but just get the lrp, its just as good.
no i dont race, i drift. from time to time. with xray t2'007.
also, congrats on the coiche of car, the HB is a beast.
most of all it world's and euro's champ.

yeh, a few awsome ppl at my track let me try there 1000+ doller car LOL i was happy just to hold his radio, one of those futaba magnum 3pk, the 500 doller one and he had the black one lol

but they car just feels "stuck" to the ground and its amasing to drive, it will take getting used to the front one way but its a fast car

with a front diff it will brake somewhat easier.
depends on the track tough, ask the fast local boys.

http://www.speedworldraceway.com/ this track?

true! my track is more turns and all, theres one long stright and all the rest is turns, so i think it will be good.. or who knows


EDIT, yeh thats my track

as i said, always ask the fast guys. preferbly one with the same car as you.
here in EU lot of times spool is used.
:p

hm, in the front or back?

i think diffs are good, i have been there and raced xxx s sports which is all diffs and they were fast... but yeh i will have to ask on the cyclone, theres a bunch of ppl that race them

spool in the back is never used on 1/10th touring.
front is used here.
rubber or faom?

rubbber, and idk on tires sauce.. but i know they coat the track with coke syrup

have no clue how that goes.
no coke here, to bad of weather.
do they use tire sauce with coke on the track?

idk, the syrup is the traction compund... idk if they allow the tire sauce tho.... i am going to the track this week to ask all this... thats for all the ???'s lol one trip and getting all the info is much better! anything else?
