I read the questions about the C rating and it is just a created rating like companies did in the Nimh days. Is it actually a 30C with inflated numbers. I guess I will find out tonight, I am getting my #709 from LHS tonight. Anyway it will be a good upgrade from Nimh's

dude.... each lipo cell is 3.7v with 2s (2 cells in SERIES) so 2s in lipo is 7.4.

the p after a number is parallel and wont increase voltage just amps

If it was not approved he wouldnt not have been able to run it .

btw cleveland isnt a roar event, they can run what they want to approve, the battery wasnt approved untill dec 31 2008.

That looks like it could be the KO Propo heatsink for the VFS-1 BMC.

I have a RC8e, I was thinking of using the (2) #709 packs. I have the Hyperion 0606i and Hyperion EOS0720iNET3 DC Balance Chargers. Is it possible to charge andbalance them at the same time? (with same charger) How do I balance the two packs at same time?
