Hyperion G3 vs. Turnigy lipo

also, i managed to stuff my 4s 5000mah 20c turnigy pack in my flux today and after 10 minutes of standing backflips and speed runs geared at about 45mph, the battery was only slightly warm. not bad for 20c. it heated up just as much as my "28c+" 9000mah SMC packs. i'm guessing the SMCs are less than 20c or even 15c or the turnigy packs are underrated. either way, i like turnigy lipos

since deans are so small, surely putting huge wires on small deans you will be losing some power? because the lipo wont be able to transfer all its energy at once because it will be restricted by the deans? wouldnt bullet connecters (that it comes with) be better?


Also is there anywhere that will solder the deans on when you buy the lipo for you?

Deans are fine for what we do, they can handle the current draw just fine- its only the extreme setups like very heavy/tall geared 1/8 trucks and bigger that call for something like bullet plugs.

As for soldering, just ditch the deans and go for something better like EC5 connectors or 5.5mm bullets; I sure as heck wouldnt pay an LHS or electrical store ~£10/hour to change over/ solder my battery connectors. Easy work around would be to solder on a short length of 12g wire to the end of the 8-10g wire ( butt joint ), allowing you to solder on the Deans much more easily.
