GMAXX in 2 Magazines!!!

[lutach]

Hi all,

I'm writing this just to get a few comments on the GMAXX Projects of 2 popular magazines. The first thing I want to say is that both used the same voltage. Now one used a (Quark ESC 125 AMPS with a Feigao 8L motor and Maxamps 8000MAH Lipos) and the other a (MGM ESC 160 AMPS with a Lehner 1950/6 motor and Peak Racing 4800MAH Lipos). I do own Lehner and Feigao motors and from my understanding and from what I see in the forums, Lehner is a much better motor. The strange thing is the magazine with the Feigao motor posted a higher MPH (48 to be exact). This has raised one question from me. Does the MAH of a battery has anything to do with the speed? I'm asking this, because I run a Stampede with 2 battery packs and when I want amazing run times I run them in parallel and when I want crazy speeds I run in series. The reason why I asked the above question is when I run one pack it gives good speed, but when the capacity is doubled in parallel, it seems to have much more punch then with one pack.

Please give your comments on this.

Regards.
