I used to race 20 years ago and things have changed a lot. Batteries are not the same as they were and are also expensive to replace if they puff on me, so I’m well within my rights to ask.

Yes I have questions, and I’m not going to apologize for that.

You already asked the question though less than a month ago. There are forum rules against creating duplicate threads. You've also just broken the rule about circumventing the profanity filter and insulting people.

It came out to four packs for $63 bucks. 4300 mAh, but they use 5mm bullet connectors instead of 4mm.

In order for him to circumvent the profanity filter, you have to assume what he meant. Just because you think it, doesn't mean that's what he meant.

Let me be clear, these are the topics you started:
- question of which charger
- question of which 17.5t motor
- question of which discharger
- question about the MTC3
- 2x with what battery

These questions have already many recent topics to find and read and almost on a weekly base new topics are started because people are lazy or stupid to do some research first. As a good example the MTC3 central topic is very busy the last days so it should be in front of your eyes as one of the topics on top of the list to read w/o the use of a search and yet, you started a new topic. Let me remind you that this is a forum that works different than like Facebook where everyone does not know how to search and can ask the most stupid questions many times.

Also with these questions I wonder how well your driving is. You can focus on all the best equipment and willing to spend a lot of money but if you can not drive for 6 minutes error free with laptimes close to the top it has no use to spend a lot of money to get the best of the best equipment, you will not get any gain from that.

What other F word do you think they likely meant?

But even if you give them the benefit of the doubt on that, there's no grey area around explicitly calling someone a "miserable prick". Insults, profanity and the profanity filter circumvention are all part of the same rule.


No insults, personal attacks, profanity, name-calling or flame wars with other forum users. All obvious attempts to circumvent the profanity filters in the forums will not be allowed.

He didn't call anyone a "miserable prick" Re read his sentence,,,, "This is the problem with support groups and forums nowadays, filled with gatekeepers and miserable pricks." He stated that was the problem with forums. He didn't specify a particular person.

Mac The Knife 03-16-2026 04:09 PM

And if Roelof was offended by his comments, I'm sure he would take it outside of this thread.

That's one of the biggest stretches I've seen in a while.

Someone call the web police ! We have a frequent poster that would like to ask questions and have folks answer them . Get him shut down and quieted … now !
Who cares , RC needs as many as it can get to stay in this hobby … no need to be a a$$ to new folks . Or we will all be wishing someone would talk about the sinceless stuff we enjoy , heck my Memphis group
has dried up to nothing and look farward to the first question in yrs …

For stock I beleive LIPO is the way and not HV.
Can't go wrong with GensAce / Cayote in the 6600 upwards range.

For 1/10 touring car racing, both stock and modified, which Lipo brands and capacity are you using?

I’m racing both 25.5t indoor and 17.5t outdoor, and am thinking of using the LRP HV super stock 6100, curious if anyone has experience with those.
I also believe that I can only charge them on a standard lipo setting (7.6v) but due to HV, I may have over charge to avoid a drop off before the race, and with only going to 7.6cv, an HV lipo should last a little longer.

Other brands I looked at were:

- Team EAM (seems very temperamental around heat)
- Cayote - (was told they would be suitable with low enough UR for 25.5t by online store)
- ORCA
- Nosram
- Gens Ace Redline

Curious what you’re using, why you choose them, how power output is across the entire race length, and if high c rating really makes a difference?

I’m aware for stock racing if I choose to use higher Amp charging/discharging will shorten the lifespan of the cells. I can purchase more, but curious on your thoughts overall.

Cheers

LRP stock series are excellent. I have some that are 4-5 years old and are at least as good as some of my new packs. Nosram are the same product. I have not used the others. Don't overthink it, if you're a relative beginner, the difference is insignificant.

I know it has become very normal on the internet just to ask questions, it is like the facebook way where people even dare to ask where their neighbors live and wait for the 1000 different answers of people who know it.
Within my understanding if you want to start something you also do some own research, so do some searching and reading. Only the 1st line of his topicstart shows already totally no effort, not only ignoring his 1st made topic about batteries and not asking this in the electronic section but also ignoring all other topics made in the last year.
Like his 17.5t question, in the electronics section there is a huge motor test/comparison topic going on with also the discussion of the best 17.5t motor.

Why do some of us act like the poster said, "excuse me <insert your name here>, can i ask you something?" And then if the poster didn't follow some protocol or ideology or otherwise conform, they get it. No one here is obligated to reply.

Not saying the poster is not asking some redundant questions. What I don't understand is why some of you all take it personally. Maybe if someone explained what they were trying to protect on this site we could all unite and fight these atrocities together. That's all I'm saying :)

Oh. almost forgot. I run the Maclan v4 6000mAh. The only thing I don't like about them is that the label is perforated where they wrap around the edges of the pack, and that cases the label to fray and get tattered. Otherwise, no problems. I chose them because I had to start somewhere and they were available. I do lose quite a few volts through the run--about .5 volts, which I hear is not great. But I do well enough in the races. I may go with a larger pack next time.
