Do you think that the SPC 2s2p 8000mah 12c batteries will be good for the MMM combo? What I am really trying to say is will the 88 amps be enough? Or do you think that they are underrated like many say?

not goodenough. try the ones i linked above
the second one i linked is not good enough either. try the first one

I just pre-ordered the MMM 2200kv combo for $240 shipped! I can wait til they are finally shipped!

Time to cancel the order of the 70mm Medusa.

Congrats Brett

So what did you buy for $.01?

I'm with Mikey onthis one. Those batteries won't be good enough for the amp draw. I'm biased to Flightpower and Neuenergy batteries since these are the only 2 brands of lipo I had used. You'll want at least 100 amps. I'm personally using 25C/50C Neu and FP 5000mah packs.

LOL! I had a problem with that. I was going to just buy a sticker sheet or something, but I went ahead and got the variable dampening pistons instead.

Ok, I will look at some lipos with a higher c rating such as the ones you linked.

FYI, when you apply the code on the site, the coupon code actually states: "SAVE $60 on $299.90 ORDER"

So, you really didn't need to add anything to your order.

When I try to make an order it says:

# Ad number promotion (--------) will be applied when shippable item(s) reach the required dollar amount of $-----.
# Shipping charge will be added to your order when the first back-ordered item is shipped
In-Stock Items: $.00
Priority Mail International: $.00
Subtotal (based on in-stock items only): $.00
Total Current Charges: $.00

Did you made your order like this? I'm not sure I'm able to order as is, or if the coupon will be applied if not in stock

[skellyo]

If you have the coupon code in your cart when you place the order the coupon will be applied once the item comes in stock and is shipped to you.

He is right. Once the out of stock items come into stock, the coupon will come into effect. I went through the same thing and I called and their support clarified it for me.

the issue is that I have a 75$ coupon for 300$ purchase and when I add an additional item to the Monster Combo (299.99) , and checkout, they make me pay only for the additional item and the shippment (I suppose they will send them?). So:

- When the backorder combo will be released I will have to pay shippment another time? and
- the coupon of 75$ will be applied?(because the item that make the total over 300$ is already shipped)

i'll have to write them

You will not have to pay shipping again. If you are a member, they will actually give that shipping back to you.
Yes, the coupon will applied when the combo is shipped out.


Now for my question: since you guys dont think that the SPC's 8000 2s2p (96amps) will be enough, I guess THESE will be good then. That would be like having 7400mah and 148 amps when put into parallel, correct?

One more thing. How is hobby city's customer support? Are they great to deal with?

IMO, a pair of Neu 25C 2S 4900's in series would be nicer. You can find them here: http://www.neumotors.com/2008/store/page6/page6.html

That looks good and all, I was just thinking about getting a longer runtime. How long do you think I could bash with those?

Those are enerland cells aren't they?

THIS would be even better if they cam back into stock.

I am running the spc cells in my mmm 7xl combo geared for 42mph. They dont run hot at all and they handle the peak currents just fine. What type of speeds are you looking for? The MMM neu motor should be even more efficient then my setup. I use a wattmeter to make sure batts are handling load and up to this point I have about 10 runs of this setup.

[skellyo]

15-20 minutes probably. IMO, I'd prefer better cells than having added weight and only a few more minutes of bash time for a pair of packs.
