brushless or li-po

[jimbob]

Novak 828-HV

can take 28 sub-c cells so ~33V, it can take 22V easily, amp rationf of 500A and 1000A burst, Apparently :018:

ya my thinking was the same as yours, my batteries will just pull down the performance of the brushless system..
And the motors can take it easily, so i think i will be going with the lipo

with with lipo
you need batteries
charger
balancer
voltage cut off ???

WOW Old school! I didn't think any still lived;) What are you running for motors?
I to would go with batteries in you're case, IB 3600 were a bit of a disappointment

i managed to find one :018: was going for the tekin 420 but couldn't find it
gunna be running one or two 820 motors :024: i wanna run 700 motors, but my motor plate is made for 820 motors... as i think 700 motor would be better but we will see

ya those IB's just weren't as good as everyone raved about, amp draw wasn't there i felt

I used to run a dewalt 820 on 18 cells through a tekin 420. It was a very powerful setup, that motor can draw some serious amps. I would go li-po first for sure. I switched to a 9xl on the same 18 cells and the power was basically the same. Your setup is only as good as your batteries.

Edit: Don't bother with other big brushed motors, 700's, 970's etc. The dewalt 820 is by far the best.

ok cheers :027: i will stick with them.. do you reckon one or two of these beasts is best + ther only $35 :004:

i will go lipo as they do draw alot, i think watts is around 500 ish so on 22V that is ~22 amps
but i know when i put one 7.2V pack on just to test it out.. it started smoking just sitting ther not yet moving when i pushed the throttle :007: i dont think the pack can deliever nearly 70A

Lipos it is then :027: now to find a decent charger etc

[lydiasdad]

I would only use one. Lighter weight plus less amp draw on the batteries. Right now I am running a single 820 motor in my jugg 2 on 6s A123 cells and it is a monster.

[jimbob]

sounds good. plus more room to mount everything :004:

how are the A123 cells actually i was looking at them before i saw the lipo packs, are they better or worse ???
