Ok.. put your packs together. making sure you have 6 cells in a pack .


discharge the pack to 5.4 volts. tray them till lights go out.. then charge at 5 amps. dicharge to 5.4 volts then tray till lights go out. then when you are ready to race.. charge pack at 5 amps and race.

couldnt be easier..


i use the trinity realtime discharge.

Is there a chance that one of my new unmatched packs will be better than the other??...then should i use it for the final?

Does it make a difference if i use 14 awg wire instead of 12?

Does it matter to discharge it to 5.4 volt? the cdc discharges to 4.8 volt....whats wrong with that?

does it damage the cells if you do?

painy What cutoff where your results of 7.135? mine were till the charger ended wich is 4.8 i suppose.

when you say just discharge to 5.4v does that mean i have to stop the discharger when it reaches that? like anyone can be bothered to do that.

i've only heard of dead shorting for 2400's and for that once their fully discharged you run the wire from + to - .

Sorry 414m2,, yes i mean 4.8 volts or when the cdc finishes, which i do belive is 4.8,, no it wont damdge the cells.

what version cdc do you have?

no 14 gauge is fine.

yes the chance that one pack will be better is verry high, as that is the case with unmatched cells, as is the chance of getting a pack that is verry verry crappy.

if you want to be fast then you should put the rollout to about 40mm

thanks matt04

yeah painy i got a cdc v6 i believe....the new one that fahaad has....

so 14 awg wont make a difference at all? even to internal resistence? good

Yeah i hope out of 30 cells they are all good.
they better not leave out one! that would really suck!....5 cell pack
ill cycle all the packs i make and then use the 3 best for me. hehehe my friend can have the next best then my little brother can have the last.
It wont really matter for him because he is a novice driver with gp33's and an xray t1r....how often do you see that? lucky bugger.

(one thing...very is spelt with one 'r' im pretty sure)

What are you trying to say? that i cant drive?

i can drive no problem...its just when it comes to lapping people im crap.

Hey in that last race you were the one who hit that same dome countless times. don't you think you would have learnt the first time??

I was leading dat race with the slowest car in the world but one mistake put me back into 3rd...
Im not saying that i am perfect but driving isnt my biggest concern to me at the moment.

How does that work? if you have a faster car then the car is faster.

haha.. and you assume speed will make you better..
in this case, yes.

i didnt have to hit the dome.. but when your serching for that perfect line your on an edge..
You are still finding your racing line in the final?

yeah i was leading that same final.. so i waited on the straight every lap for you guys, even gave matty the lead to see what he could do.. but to no avail..
Playing with your oponents is an insult to them, it's better to beat them by miles than to purposely go slower and tease them.
