Guys, Here is my take on the past week……I feel we need to bring things back into the real world . The sky is not falling and the batterys that were working before the MMM came out should still work now. Sure we have spikes of high amps when running these 1/8th scale conversions. They are short lived and are "Burst” amps. @ the end of the day… if you geared for 15+ minutes per pack of 4s1p 5000 20C or better cells you should more than fine on the battery C rating side of the setup. The “continuous” load on the pack @ that rate is 20 amps or less or 3C or 4C…. If your not hitting the LVC during the run and your lipo pack is coming back under 140F IMAO your pack is doing a good job.

I / we use these same type cells / packs in FE boat racing and we dump ½ or more of the capacity of the pack in about 1.5 minutes…..and we still get good cycle life from the cells if we stay below 150F or so….
I hope we can get back to good posts and things return to normal soon….
