Got a Great Deal on MMM combo!

That looks good and all, I was just thinking about getting a longer runtime. How long do you think I could bash with those?

Those are enerland cells aren't they?

THIS would be even better if they cam back into stock.

I am running the spc cells in my mmm 7xl combo geared for 42mph. They dont run hot at all and they handle the peak currents just fine. What type of speeds are you looking for? The MMM neu motor should be even more efficient then my setup. I use a wattmeter to make sure batts are handling load and up to this point I have about 10 runs of this setup.

I am looking for speeds comparable to my Nitro, so about 40mph give or take. I also believe that the runtime (with the ones I linked) would be at minimum 10 min longer than a 5000mah pack. Right?

15-20 minutes probably. IMO, I'd prefer better cells than having added weight and only a few more minutes of bash time for a pair of packs.

40mph will be easy for those batts. Run time is kind of difficult to guage but 8000mah will last almost twice as long as 5000mah packs. I am no big fan of 4000mah lipos, but when you parallel them in the configuration they have, they hold their voltage pretty well.
FYI, I took my 7xl out to a parking lot and was about to race a .28 tmaxx with 30 percent a couple weeks ago and everyone agreed my setup was far more impressive on the torque and acceleration. This was with the spc packs peak charged to 7.45. Nitros take a bit to get up and going, but these electric setups just have crazy low end torque.
The Neu batts these guys are recommending though are going to have greater punch than the SPC's, and they make great recommendations, but if I get any more torque in my setup somethings is going to give. Right now it holds nicely together with all of that power.

So you have the 8000 SPC lipos then? Are the battery temps good?
I think that it is a close one between the SPC's and NEU packs. I can't decide which way to go.

Just buy the Neu or FP and be done with it.

We have a pretty good selection of quality batteries here as well. Perhaps something of interest to you?

The Polyquest batteries from Mikes shop have great performance, can't go wrong with them.
