Thank you,

You could as well get some Enerland 4350/4900/5000mAh cells, they are the same cells as used in the flightpowers. Hyperion uses them too.

the flighpower 4900's (trakpower.com) stay at 3.5V per cell on a 100A load. on 4S, i think nothing beats them. I've seen eagletree graphs of the 4350's of a user here. they are close to 3.5V@100A too. after about 35 percent discharge they drop to 3.3V on a 100A load.

Those are the packs that deliver the energy for the hottest setups IMO.

I hope to try some of those better lipolys in the future. The maxamps work great but it seems there are some better lipolys out there.

Thank you,

Right now it seems clear that the best cells are those Enerlands and the 3200/4800 Kokams that are used in the Orion packs. The Kokams are the worlds fastest lipos, lol... in the 160mph speed run car. :)

I've seen many times guys just blown away at the performance of both of these. Plus the Kokams are safer and tougher than most lipo cells.

I haven't got any yet, but plan to get some this summer.

I was told by the guys at KokamAmerica that he ran their cells... unless my mind glitching... which has happened before. :)

Maybe I crossed some wires there.

Cool :)

I must have confused a conversation I had with Kokam with some from the guys at Neu. I'm pretty sure that's it.

Man, I spent some hours on the horn last summer with CC, NEU, Kokam, RCM Mike, etc.....

Yes, I use the thundertech steering kit on all my Twin forces. The thundertech system works great. Only had one problem with the thundertech steering kit. If the truck is in a bad wreck sometimes it will damage the servo saver.


Thank you,
