I just got a 8ight t 2.0 an i have seen guys run the two 7.4 s an i have seen them run one big one. What would be better an why? MaxAmps 6500 14.8V with Hyperion EOS0720iNET3 an power supply or
MaxAmps Dual 6500 7.4V with Hyperion EOS0615iDUO3.

Do you have any other RC vehicles that you could run the 2S 6500's in?

related to this...im looking at an RC8e and already own a 2s 5250 pack for my rc10. can i go with another 5250 2s and double up?? will i run into any issues? im just hesitant to lay down a nice chunk of change for a 4s that i can only run in 1 car.

thanks!

Well the biggest issue you have right now is a used pack being run with a brand new pack. In dual pack systems the batteries both need to be the same age and number of cycles. This keeps them in-line with each other. Otherwise you end up with one pack that has a different discharge rate than the new pack would have if you have two off different ages and cycles.

well haha i ended up saying F***k it and ordered a 4s version of the 5250 as i love my 2s so damn much. i dont even have the car yet! also needed to take quick advantage of that free 3 year 300 cycle deal.
its funny because i still havent even recieved the 2s 8000 i ordered this weekend. you guys keep making great s**t and i'll be broke in no time
