how is this?

[aqwut]

you can't just use regular c cells, you'd have to find HD C cells...

[nbcaznmaster]

hd?

[nitrostarter]

They are bigger and heavier.

[squeeforever]

nbcaznmaster-hd means high discharge

[aqwut]

Yeah, I've only see Chris Fine of finedesign, carrying those.. only $3.50 a piece.. what a steal, but it's Nicad.. 80 amps for 1 minute.. that is WICKED...

[Serum]

It doesn't beat a GP3300 though..

[Rtsbasic]

A GP3300 cell can't put out 80 amps over more than brief periods. I can vertify this from running a very high amp drain motor (Feiago 540 6s with a Mtroniks sticker), if I parallel the packs its actually a bit faster in spite of the weight (matched GP3300 8 cell packs).

[aqwut]

I don't know about that's hard to believe....

I thought GP3300's are only rated at 10-12C continuously....

if it can do 80 amps.. Why am I buy LiPo's for... :)

Mabye I should go back to GP3300's.. :)

Some sites rate the GP3300s as 100 amps.. like BK's site.. I think it's bullSh*t... Does anyone know the real continuous discharge rates of the GP batteries.. .
if it's 80 amps.. I"m gettin' some right away....

[aqwut]

HOLY SH*T.. I was wrong...

[aqwut]

GP 2600 can do 100amps for 15 seconds...
GP 3300 can do 45 amps continuous...

wow.. gotta get me some 2600's....

anyone knows the specs for the GP3700's or the IB3800's?..

[Rtsbasic]

2600? Sub C or C? The only GP's I'm farmilar with that are 2600 are AA size, which I somehow doubt can do 100 amps :)

[toby]

me too, lol, i do not know what the heck is going on here lol. So guys, just tell me which batteries i should roll with. gp3300?

[squeeforever]

ibc 3800s. no doubt.

[toby]

how much biggeer are they? Are they longer or jsut bigger in diameter?

[Rtsbasic]

The IB3800 cells are the same size (give or take half a mm) as GP3300's as they are cells designed for RC use. They're your safest bet unless you want to sink a bit more $$ into the GP3700's, which may or may not be better.
