That is high IR, my old nano 6600 reads lower than that. You should see those numbers in a good saddle, not a good stick.
My 7200 smc is reading 1.7 & 1.8.
Reedy 6500 comes in at 2.4 & 2.6.
Both with about 15 cycles on them, maybe auto's are older packs... guess I could see those numbers after a year of use.
The low IR race packs from smc are a fantastic deal, 6500 & 7200.

I would definitely have a full pack for the main, but, all those chargers are going to cut down on the life of your battery.
Having 2 batteries (of like or similar specs) would be a good invesment IMHO. Personally, I take 4 batteries just 'coz I like to play with different ones. And playing is what I'm all about with my RCs.

Very interesting stuff Chris. Wish I had known about these before :P
Do you institute a 2s restriction at Da Barn for 4w Mod SC?
I'm thinking those 3s + Pro4 3300 would be dialed!
Any chance of you getting any 4s or even 6s ( which I prefer to run in 1/8 ) batteries?
Thx for the time, and credit for the av pic too

I got my pack and did a full charge at 12 amps, then a discharge to 3.2v per cell at 10amps and the battery discharged approximately 6900mah. Not bad at all. After cycling it a few times the IR was on par with my 3 month old revtech 6900mah 100c battery.(It was cool out so the IR was not accurate) Initially, it is defiantly a good pack, but time will tell how fast or slow the cells degrade, but I am satisfied.

Generally people run only 2S of course. If 3S on a 3300 is about the same speed, then I don't see it being a huge issue among the racers. The 4600 on 7.4V calculates to about 34000RPM, where the 3300 on 11.1 calculates to about 36000RPM. I agree though that higher voltage is more efficient.
I do plan to get some 4S packs in when spring hits. I don't plan on getting any 6S packs though :-) Sorry.

I bought a 6200mah 2s 60c Vant lipo one thing i like is that the bullet connecters for the hardest fit nice and snug into the lipo . Ive only ran my a few times so its not quite broken in yet so i cant exactly judge it yet.
And my backup charger i had to use is only a 50w and charges to 5.0 amps im waiting for my new charger to come in the mail that goes up to 6amps.
But after a few charges the cells are equaltly balanced same when storeing them . So its a better quality low price lipo

Well i had about 6 cycles on this lipo and i dont know if its because im geared lowed and my motor runs cool . But man these lipos have some punch no drop off into a 8 min main ! And the cells stay really balanced run after run and the Bullet connecters on the wire hardness are pretty good and tight !
For $45.00 for a 6200mah 60c 2s lipo its
pretty good.
They have lower MAH rating 2s lipos also in them and have good C ratings.
I would take a look at these lipos !

Just got mine in the Mail on Tuesday. Ran them last time. Just as good of a pack as anything else i've ran. (revtech, reedy, turnigy, crc). We'll see how long they last, but I'm satisfied with the 2 4000mah shorty packs i Purchased from DirtcheapRc.com.
