Just chipping in w/ my $.02

I have been using the TrueRC 8000mah 3s and 2s wired in series for 5s on my erevo for the last few weeks. I gotta say, for the $... they are great. I charge them up and run for 45 minutes bashing around the bmx track. I ususlly have broken something before the batts were dead. The packs have never gotten even more than just slightly warm. Even running back and forth full throttle in a grass field. (the esc did though..lol)

I must say though... Charging them takes a while, at least with my charger. I'm using a superbrain 977. It will charge MiMH at 5A, but the Lipos it caps the 3s @ 3A and the 2S @ 2.5A. At that charge rate it takes a couple hours. to completely charge them. I'm thinking about getting the new Thuderpower charger. It is supposed to go up to 10A for Lipos. That would cover the 1C and then some. I'm also waiting to see what the new SUperbrain 989 is gonna be like. Is supposed to charge up to 8A on Lipos as well, and with the aded bonus of AC/DC right out of the box. But... These chargers only have 1 output, so to do both packs its 2 hours of charging time anyway. I can plug up and charge both batts at the same time on the 977.

Sorry for the ramble.... I kinda got off point.

Summary: Good batts...:027: Long runtime...:027: Good power.....:027: Low price...:027: how can that be bad?


EDIT: And dan is a pretty decent dude as well.
