This is a super low price! and they have 2 x 4s 4000mAh packs in stock that are lighther and cheaper!
Someone knows if they are actually rated for that mAh or someone has bought ones?

I've been looking at those myself. They are 10C cells continous, 15C Burst.

8000mah = 80 amps continous, 120 amps Burst.

Not Bad at all for the price........But.....

I think alot of the upper end Motors geared aggressively would puff those.

With conservative gearing and some punch control enabled to help tame those amperage spikes, they could be a good setup.

I like the 5S 8000mah setup that actually fits the battery compartments.

It's easier to gear conservatively and control amperage with 5S than is 4S IMO.

I have ran 10C cells before. They don't deliver the amps that higher C ratings do, but with 8000mah, 80 amps isn't bad.

This reminds me of the good reviews the True RC 8000mah 4S setups were getting.

I really should invest in a data logger and do some testing.
