Does anyone compare the wattage rating of Lipos?

"I've seen mod oval cars able to dump a 7000 1s pack in 3 minutes. Do that math and you'll see some serious amp draw numbers."
So thats 350 amps avg in 3 minutes.
If you figure a good 3.5 turn is what 750-800 watts?
Divide that by the low voltage of 1s and taking into account the immense heat and loss of efficiency, its possible to see an avg. amp draw approaching 350.
Oval is constant throttle more or less isn't it?
So thats 350 amps avg in 3 minutes.

I doubt that 3.5t motors were designed to run at 3.7 volts... No wonder the amps get so high, but until these lipo manufacturers figure out a way to standardize their product and test each of the packs that come out of their mills, with numbers printed on them like the Nimh packs, then we will always have those packs of the week discussions... I'd rather invest in supercapacitors to boost lipo performance instead !!!!

Wouldn't that be 140 amps average for a 7Ah dump in 3 minutes? Just like EA said?
3 minutes = 20C.
Even some off road dirt cars average around 50 amps, struggle to run 10 minutes if that with the best 2S packs. Peaks over 150 amps.
We have some amazing amounts of power available these days.

7000mah =7a for 1hr
7ah=7a for 60 min
still with me?
7a x60min = 420a for 1min to dump a 7000mah pack
so 420a ÷3min is ?
140a avg load over a 3min run

Guys, stop living in the past... Graphene Supercapacitors in parallel with lipo packs are the future... No need to waist time figuring out which battery is better anymore...

140A constant over 3 minutes is impressive for the Lipo they certainly get warm with 50A constant load.
What size wire and connections are they using? I am amazed wires and connections don't melt.

Guys who were using cheap bullets and wire were having issues melting the negative bullet off the battery wire. Most switched to 10 gauge wire. The batteries would come off around 150-170 degrees after a run (After they figured out the motor setup and ran 4 minute races). Some brands were swelling badly some were not.
To answer someone elses question the mod guys were getting around a 100x42 track in 3.0 seconds. The lift in the corner is for a spit second really! So it may as well be wide open!

That is impressive.
