High speed G-maxx for ISC event, 100mph or bust

[Rivermaxx]

To much down force and speed will suffer not enough and its flying. What funny is I am running 2 6s 3300mah batts in parallel not 2 3s in series so I think I have alot more capacity and be able to do way more than 1 run without too much speed loss. After I came home after the first speed runs(like 3 good ones) my batts were still ~ 4volts. Yea I heard about warming the batts for best results. And as always the first run will be the best. Going out in a bit for a speed trial I will try to get some video.

trinity makes an excellent battery warmer, it wouldn't be a bad idea for the speed challenge,where you wait in line to do a run and can't warm the packs properly.

Saw this in a magazine, said something about warming to 140 degrees.. seems a bit odd doesnt it?

nope, that's the temp the electrons like to flow at. An inherent trait of lithium polymer technology

only if the batteries are pre warmed, otherwise your 2nd or 3rd run will be the best. And lipos holding power allows multiple passes with identical performance(once they're warmed up), not one first good run like nimh's
