What to make of it? Spin doctor.... which is why it doesn't make much sense. It's bull#%@! ;)

Castle has this tendency... when all else fails (or they don't have an answer...) blame the batteries. They have been preaching about batteries since the Mamba25 first came out.

It's true that often the battery is the weak point/problem for many of their customers... I think they talk about inadequate batteries so much that they brainwash themselves.

I have been in contact off and on with Castle for months... and still they seems to bring up batteries quite often in babbling with me... then I remind them that for example I run a 12000 mah lipo. They say yeah that's good enough...

Referring to 1/10 cars .... thye have said on the record that a good nimh pack is just fine. (It's the stick packs and junk cells that are the problem)

IMO it's obvious the Kokam 4800 are good enough. They can flow 2-3 times the current of a nimh pack.

By Castle's own words... they say to look at whatever I see on a datalogger for peak amps, and double that for what the true micro-second current is. (they say the sample rate isn't fast enough with basic loggers to register these spikes... personally if such spikes NEVER show up on a 10 sample/sec logger... then I think such spikes don't matter. imo. )

So... even considering that, the Kokam packs are up to the task easily.

Does it ONLY have problems under full throttle lauches from a dead stop?

EDIT... gee I was kinda harsh on castle here huh? hee hee
