Sounds good.
it's so weird though to see a 5s 5000 25c 120a for $189. but be able to buy two lipos to get 6400 25c x 2=160a at only $140.

how is that possible ? this should be over $200.

HAHA, I only put it large font as Speed did not seem to notice that myself and a few others had previously mentioned it....

As far as bush beating goes, well I usually try to keep out of the woods. I prefer a well manicured lawn, with a good view of the mountains.

thats funny

I analyze things and want to know why, because there usually is a hidden reason. And for lipo there is older versions, different charge rates
The other battery has the XP added in the part name, so I was wondering if it was better ?

I having been trying to talk to the first place but no answer.

edit add, the second place guy, I emailed him but he ignores my question of the XP and he does not know what the V1 listed on his own site is . LAMO

so it could be charge at what rate ? charge time ? a lot faster ? worth buying

The neuguy is not anwsering my question, just says "All the 3200s are XPs. The newest ones are 5C and the earlier generation is 1C charge. The other specs remain the same."

What does it Mean ? ? ? ? ? ? trying to learn here

Anybody know the amperage of the Castle 2200 ?

Does the motor only pull the amps it needs?

My Cheap Feigao 2382 is only rated at 95 max Amps

so worried if the new batteries are going to fry it or I should get a Castle 2200 , any answers ? ?

a 3200mah pack at 1c would be charged at 3.2 amps, and a 5c could be charged up to 16amps. I don't even know of a charger that will charge at 16amps, but once more packs have higher charge rates, I'm sure new chargers will come out that are capable.

It's rated for 110amps, but most of the run will be alot less, and spikes that are alot more. Weight of your rc and gearing will determine the amp draw and also how hard you pull on the throttle.

yea I was trying to figure what charge rate would be for those 3200's or if the 3200XP's are better and in what advantage ?


I read it was 95 amps.
I'm guessing weight with lipos will be 10 lbs.
the darn Fago motr weight over a lb 13.+ oz.

These are some very good batteries. I now have 2 3s 30c 4100mah packs. More power than I expected... I love them!
