Damn foiled again. You guys are going to give up one of those formula someday and I am going ot be there to see it.

Okay, so there isn't a way to accuratlely know the burst of your setup without some data recording program. So you estimated the burst?

I am also starting grasp the higher voltage concept. If you have the controller to let you run the higher voltage it pays off. It was nice when I though 4s was all I needed.

Does the C rating have any direct relation to the lenth of runs you get. For the sake of arguement everything is the same except the batteries c-rating. I read somebody said that the lower c rating don't do well with the burst of power. That takes it toll on the battery and will either hit the LVC sooner or the Life Cycle of the battery ends sooner?

Thanks for the answers. I understand all the factors that play into getting accurate information. I also know in a sense what batteries my setups need but was looking for a way to detemine a little better what I could use when just going for a walk in the rain and on the other side of the spektrum chasing cars on the interstate. Like running a rustler or LS10 I shouldn't need a 30c battery when they are geared for the Sunday drive but the G3R and Sav XL that are geared more to push the limits do. Most of the hobby is built around trying it, only limited by your creativity and mostly your wallot. I would of bunch of battieries just ot see how they work if the wallot was up for it.

Brian. I've gone though your calculators and info looking for anwers. Seems most everything is there except a battereis mah or c-rating. Is there a way to take a some of the data from one of them have a more scientific way of saying I need at least a 3300 25c lipo even if it is a broad range and the c-factors for alot of lipos are whacked it would help a person out. They have a lot of lipos to choose from these days. I didn't have this much of a problem wheh it was just a couple companies and only a few lipos to choose from.

I just found the calculator for Battery Power Requirements for R/C Vehicle. Hate to ask how long ago that was added.

Thanks finnster. It made sense, but I am going to read it another ten times to make sure and see what I come up with.
