I have cycled it 4 times seems OK. Just learnin the lipo thing I figured for $60 can't beat it. If I screw it up No big loss.

It pushes this truck/buggy/hybrid/thingy around pretty good. Hard to tell with such a GIRLYMAN Setup. It wheelies on demand and gose plenty fast. For my grandma anyway.lol

If that is a girlyman setup, my kb45s must be EXTRA girlyman!

I don't know linc your GTP / MBX conversion dosen't look too girlyman to me. Nice conversion IMO! You're all right man. When you're sleepin. I'm guessin.

Thanks Stinky, I just threw it together as I had 3 of the kb45 motors, and had them for a while, so I figured that they could do with testing. They are great, can't wait to get the 8xl kb in the crt on 6s and see how it does!

And I am no better when I am sleeping, as I tend to fart alot, or so my wife says.

Ok disregaurd the link to the cheap lipo on Ebay. I thought I was havin good luck with it. 30 to 40 min. runtime on one 3500 mah batt. Cycles 1-3 performed great not really warm. Cycle #4 got alittle warm when I ran it. Cycle #5 kinda hot. Cycle #6 POOF!!!! No fire but serious gasses. Needless to say it got very hot that time.

So sorry for posting a link without testing things more.

Any ideas why it ballooned and poped. Was I just running it too hard? Or just cheap crap?

I ballanced it every charge & before every run. It never got over 75 when I was charging it. Never even charged it at 1C. Half that on all charges.

$10 a run I guess its still Better than Nitro :)

Damn, I've seen those lipos on ebay for a while, even concidered buying a few. My guess would be that they arent 20c, more like 10c, and they simply cooked. A couple in parallel (4s2p) might be a different story, but thats just speculation....

[STINKYBOY13]

I guess I'm a glutton for punishment I have two 3s 2200mah 25C or so they say. That I run in my RC18. I hooked them up in series. The MM armed and off I go. I took it easy and stopped before they got hot. Just had to see if it would work :) Got them at the same place,but the Mamba25 in theRC18 dose not have near as much amp draw as the MM of course. They work awesome for the mini!

Battery shoppin time for Stinky

Get yourself a flightpower, or neuenergy 5000 25c pack. They are great packs and well worth the money.

NEU's are freaking beastly. My jammin runs like my 1/18th does now.

Those batts are good, I have a 5000 3s in my pede and it has plenty of power, the pack does not even get warm either!

the HeCell batteries from Ebay aren't too bad... I think those are the same MaxAmps and TrueRC uses..

[suicideneil]

Hecells seashells on the seashore... Got a link please?

[aqwut]

This guy sells them, there use to be more sellers before... I don't know what happen to them... They use to sell it single cell also, it was much cheaper than TrueRC even...

Hmmm, do you think that the true rc 8000 and maxmaps 8000 packs are made of the same cells? If so that is why the truerc cells seem to be underrated and maxamps seem to be overrated.
