brushless and A123 questions

[highflier]

My charger can charge A123 at 8 Amps, Also you can create a Charger that will charge them in under 10 minutes for very cheap... There is a thread about it on Ezone. It's not much more then 18 feet of wire connected to a 12 volt car battery.

However charge time is not my biggest concern. I would go Lipo but it's the cost. a 4s 5Ah pack is ~$200.00, and a 5s is $250.00 I was able to snag 10 cells of A123 for just under $100.00

I'll give 5s2p a try and see if I am happy with Power. I would like to have enough so that if I punch the throttle while I am already going 10mph that there is enough to spin the wheels.

Since I am just bashing it I don't think weight will be a huge issue. After all 10 A123 cells probably are not much different then the stock NMHI packs


Thanks for the info.

PS. I will be happy if I get 20-30 minutes of bashing time per pack. I'll have enough cells if I do this right to have
4 3s airplane packs
or
2 5s2p E-maxx packs
