Beerbarron, I think it is your motor. It seems for me that I cannot run the motor as long as before with 3300's. You will notice a performance difference if your motor needs to be freshed up.
My IB's have been running strong with a cleaned up motor.

beerbarron, i think you should let the packs cool down without the fan, force cooling is not good for the packs i think it has something to do with the cemical reaction in the packs with force cooling, the next you should let it cool down for at least 1.5 to 2 hrs before you charge again, the IB have more power than the 3300 so you might want to gear down or cut a small amount of your brush at the leading edge to keep the motor cool or else your motor going to fade, hope this help.

if you would just call promatch they will take care of those "dead" packs for you. I have 6 promatch 3800 packs with no problems. I ran them at our regionals and I can tell you, there was no drop in performance from min 1 to min. 8. the packs performed flawless and I still had over 200sec at the end of the race.
you are correct in that promatch has bad support, if you don't even let them know your problem. But I have never been disapointed in promatch one I talked to someone. Jeff has even sent me a duplicate of my order because they put the packs together the wrong way from they way I requested it. I like the fact that they match at 5 amp charge. this means that if you wanted to charge at 6, they would only be better. as far as 30 or 35 amp discharge. that is just the way things go. when there was a change from 20 to 30, we had the same problem. i think jeff goes by the industry more then being in the front of the pack. The majority of the matcher are still doing 30.

You do know Promatch offers a 30 day money back guarantee? It's on their website ... if the packs did fail with in a month they would replace them.
I've been buying promatch for almost 7 years now, I've have never had a single problem. I've also cycled the cells to check the numbers and they are very close to what the lables say. On track performance has been top notch too.

Maybe I just had horrible luck but regardless I or any of my racing buddies will never buy another promatch pack. I like a company to stand by there products but no matter how great the service is an inferior product is an inferior product.

Dodgeguy and Raymuras. I re-cut the comm this afternoon. Once I got the can apart I saw how bad it really was. Then I started adding up how many minutes the motor had on it. Wow. Anyway I should be turning some laps Saturday to see if the speed comes back with the IB' s. I'll skip the fan and give the pack two hours of rest before re-charging.
Does anyone know at what temperatures the chemistry in the cells changes? For instance, if temp reaches 200 is the cell destroyed. Or 220, 240, 300. Just curios what makes a battery like this tick.

was that race insane or what?
