4s 2p 8000mah 12c? lipo questions

[suicideneil]

I use them exact lipos...

What I can say is, for about $30-35, they work suprisingly well. Temps at the end of a run using my last setup before the motor melted (9XL 62/24 4s2p Gmaxx) were about 120*f or so, and they were hitting 3.0v per cell after about 10-15minutes of moderate bashing and speed runs on grass. They actually were only about 2/3rds discharged going by the mah I put back in, but they dont seem to hold their voltage so well under a reasonably large load.

I would say as an introduction to lipos and figuring out what kinda performance/speed/gearing you want to use, they work well enough, and in a lighter truck they would do even better, but for a heavy MT... you get what you pay for.

There are some very similar lipos on ebay right now rated for 5000mah 12c- I suspect they would be a bit better, and same kinda price range, but zippies arent much more, so its personal choice really.
