I would like to see them have higher mah packs. 8k would be nice for my 2s 10th scale setups.

Considering most 8000+ mah packs are actually 2 packs just paralleled and packaged together. It's actually not a good idea and is problem since you are balance the 2 cells paralleled together as 1 single cells.

Now if they develop a 8000mah single cell, then sure!

Do they have the battery monitor for a 2 pack setup? That would be awesome on my Monster GT. I wonder it it provides real time readings too, so if you nail the throttle, you can see your voltage drop?

EDIT: Never mind, just read that it does provide real time readings. That is awesome. I need one of these but I need one for dual packs....

Seems like a very useful tool though, especially for people who race 1/8 electrics with a single pack.

All it does is plug into the balance port of the lipo. If you have multiple packs, just get a converter plug that takes you 2- 2s lipos and makes 1 4s lipo plug. Its quite simple to make as well.

I run two 3S Lipos actually, but same concept. I wasn't sure if I could do that with the balance taps though, but I guess I can. I have a couple 3S connectors from my Equinox balancer, could I just splice one of them to the other and put the correct end connector on?

I have 4 of those 4S packs on the way. I'll have to snap some pics and give some feedback on here when they come in.
