Do you guys really think that MA assemble the packs...? Maybe (and I stress maybe) they put the main leads on and the balancer taps. Maybe. I took alot of them apart, and the early examples had the al tabs press crimped together. Later models with the copper (paper thin and press crimped to the same al tabs and sorta hidden under the foil) might have been soldered together.

I am guessing they order the packs as 2s, 3s,4s, etc and add the wires, taps and shrink. I can put those items on very fast, maybe 5mins a pack. Not to say I have assembled many packs, only a few hundred. And out of those maybe 50 were put together as individual cells. Given their layout and some 8hr days I could churn out some packs. Especially if you had one person per station and did it assembly line style. Pre cut the shrink, tin all of the balancer wires and main leads and then have at it. I can see at least 100 packs an hour come out if you had 3-4 people.

Hey Guys,

Here is a graph for you. I just got back from iHobby so there will be plenty of more of these and some videos to follow. Please be patient with me as I am very busy this week. Also, I saw Mike Cronin at iHobby and I gave him some Race Edition batteries to use as he see fits. I believe he said he was going to hook up an Eagletree system and do some real world testing on the track. Here is a discharge graph at 50 continious amps. Most 1/10 scale vehicles pull nowhere near 50 amps continious as you already know. Video of the testing will be posted shortly. Chat soon :) Brandon

Hmmm.........What is that? About a 7C or 8C discharge for this pack?

I was hoping for something a bit more aggressive that would show your competitive nature.......with other "premium" packs.

To be any sort of indication of a 150C rating, 50 amp discharge is nothing really.

Is this how you plan to show the performance of a pack capable of a 975 amp discharge?

50 amps is just a little over 1/20th of it's rating.
