Yeah, no shiz. How do you think Harold affords all the high priced toys he has. His wheel chair has a "limbo" recline so he can get in there and work it down to a nub in confined quarters.

Would really like to see this happen.

Brandon dont Nancy out ... Ill use my 5 year old neu lipo if you feel a "competitive " edge that way, I just want you to show up

Back to topic?

I did find a Gen Ace 5S 30C 5300mah for a good price...may have to try. Just a tad concerned when I put a battery like this in my onroad car as it may struggle due to abuse car gets. Only one way to find out.

GensAce do make 60C batts, but they are same price as Hyperions.

[zeropointbug]

I have been reading people that have not much good to say about Gens Ace packs on 'airplane/heli' forums like RCGroups. I know planes are alot more stressful on lipos than land vehicles, but I think that it is a good test for them to pass if you ask me. Turnigy Nano-tech's are garbage as well, the regular turnigy packs have just as much punch, but last much longer apparently?

If anyone cared to look at that graph, you can see that the small 2200mah 45C pack from hyperion can do 41C Cont. discharge (90A) while delivering 80% of capacity... or a 32C discharge (70A) while delivering 95% capacity and staying above 3.6V/cell for almost entire discharge.

How close are you to Chicago? I didn't bring my car out here with me to Illinois.

Careful Jay, He'll come equiped with a Hyperion pack with MA flamed heatshrink.

Brandon, please, if you want us to see what your MA packs can do, go to RCGroups and contact the user "Everydayflyer" he has tested many many packs, all with very nice discharge equipment. He has shown how the whole C rating hype between brands is nothing but a selling tool, and has proven that a good quality ~35C packs can outperform a 50C + pack from another brand. He will get us discharge curve, pulse discharge, temperature, and usually some cycle life graphs... I personally have never seen a discharge graph for an MA packs, so that seems to me like a very good opportunity to put this whole C rate thing to rest.

Brandon - I live 45 min n/w up the 90 right by arlington park horse track. What r/c car do you drive ?

Bondo- hehe
