My EXPENSIVE list of Bl-lipo items

[mmdooley]

Hi, I have a 9920 and 8XL kv2084 . why are the rpm's different from your (Supermaxx)8XL and mine?? By the numbers mine will run 40012 kv on 16 cells and on 22.2 volts it would run 46681 and that is about where it should be for the best efficiency.

your rpms are different b/c I was using the hacker b50 rpm chart, your #'s are most likley correct.

As for discharge, I wired two in parallel, so I will have no trouble with amperage. And if I do, I'll just buy maxamp high discharge packs.

Is that where you want to be??

I ain't no expert, but I've run 16 cells on that setup (but i used a 18.97kw schulze) for many months with no thermals, lack of power, or lack of speed. That setup is just an all around good setup. The 8 cell packs fit in flm/gorilla chassis easily, plenty of power, 50mph of speed, low heat, not much more I could of asked for.

what is the link to Apogee lipos thanks

ygguB naM-your pack puffed up on you because you were running to hot a motor and if you didnt know what a lvc was you didnt need to be running lipos not to mention the fact that a max amps pack is a VERY good pack and you just misused them.

i agree with squee i hope nobody gets the wrong impression about max amps because they are a good company also you didnt even know what a lvc is so you dont even have the right to run lipos(not meaning to affend anyone) and expect everything is going to be all fine and dandy imo
alright i put my 2 cents in

can any of you guys link me to a LVC? I can only find LVD's on maxamp (voltage detector)

I decided I'm going to use two 3s3p batteries. Great amp draw, hours of runtime, and only 72 grams heavier than my 16 cell nimh previous setup (basically i'll be running 19.25 nimh cells of weight powered w/18.5 nimh cells of voltage).

That means i'll probably special order that schulze charger squee mention from rc-monster.

It will cost a TON though!!!!!!!!!

You think i'm redarded!? I knew about voltage limiters, just didn't know they were called LVC.

the only one who called you retarded is yourself...

note that not using the lvc wasn't your only problem.

Hay i'm just kidding.:D

ygguB naM, I am tcolesen over on RCZ (just letting you know). Your case with Maxamps doesn't prove much, to be honest.

Superemaxx89, here is a link to a LVC device you can use:
http://www.dimensionengineering.com/LipoShield.htm You only need one of these, but it will need to be hooked up to the total voltage from both 3s packs (you could hook it up to the input wires on the controller).
To be honest with you, I think you are spending way too much money on batteries. If you have a mishap, that could mean $250+ gone. What I would suggest is getting 4 3s 4000mah packs, and only using 2 at a time (in series). The 4000mah cells can handle the amp draw just fine in 1p, and when they run down you could just switch them with the other 2 packs. Overall, I think this would be the best setup if you are still looking to spend a lot of money.

but one cell parallel means that it can only handle 48 amps continious which is nothing!
