What’s the best LiPo 3s hard case?

Hello

What’s the best LiPo 3s hard case that money can buy, I like to have the very best you know

I will run those with my Mamba Monster + 2200kv com and FLM Chassi and

UE 6 spider diffs.

The only 3S hard case Lipo that I think is up to the task of running a MMM combo is the Trakpower 3S 4900 packs.

Hmm the trakpower 3s 4900 mah is just Continuous Discharge Rate: 16C, 86.4A (not 100A or more) ????

I'll guess I won't get a better one (hmm would like these one, not in stock, Thunder Power TP5000-3SPR 5000mAh 3-Cell/3S 11.1V 40C 80C 200A)

No, the Trakpower 4900 is 25C continuous. The 5400 is 16C.

for less money you could buy a zippy 6s 5000mah 20c

2 of those in parallel is 6s 10,000mah 40c! for $270

two of the hardcase in series is 6s 4900mah 25c for $340

the math speaks for itself.........

Not really...

The Zippy packs are not hard cased like he asked for. Also, the combined weight of 2 of those zippy packs is 3.4lbs while the pair of Trakpower 3S 4900's is 1.8lbs. That's a huge difference!

I do agree, there are many cheaper options...but not in a hard case.

and anyways you should know at 892 post that when you run a pack in paralel you dont double your c rating just your mah.

[ICUBoy]

I thought you DID double the C rating- surely each pack now can source the original C rating, and now there are two? MAh will be doubled, and voltage will stay the same? Maybe I need more sleep but the total power the packs can deliver will double (whereas in series the voltage doubles but the mAh and C rating is the same given the same load and no voltage sag).

[dirt101]

no the current will double from the extra mah.

5000mah at 10c gives 50amps
10000mah at 10c gives 100amps.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thank you. That makes sense. I knew it could handle twice the amp load, but the c rating would have to stay the same or it would quadruple! you schooled me!

good points. I've been back and forth about your hardcase lipos, and for the same money I can get more power. But they look so coool.......

No need to go back and forth about them anymore. They were shipped to a guy in Las Vegas last week. I now have no Trakpower packs at all.

So I bought 4 of this

to go with Mamba monster + 2200kv + UE diffs 6 spider + UE drive shafts and FLM chassi

I'm happy as a child in Christmas time

Those will work well for you. The 2S Trakpower 4900's I had were excellent packs.
