Which rotor? The Novak 13.5 with the sintered rotor seemed happy around 41MM. I'd start around there, and go up and down a bit to see what suits you the best. I'm not sure with the fat rotor, but...

Hammer, nail, head...

One thing the LiPo faithful should be mindful of is the outright negativity toward Chinese sources. A lot of reputable companies source their LiPos from China (Apple's...

I actually tried some MaxAmps packs because I read their voltage was so much better, though only for 40 cycles or so. I'm a pretty decent club driver, and I couldn't see any difference in speed or...

Maybe not dead, but it's definitely on the decline. People all over the place are looking for alternatives. The boom in popularity for mini racing is a prime example. And did you hear the entire...

People also use LiPo because the batteries don't fade in performance after 20 cycles. Right now, everybody is talking about LiPo in spite of the fact that they don't have the voltage of NiMH. If we...

The fact that not all industries value voltage over cycle life? Not even all of R/C cares, mostly it's just the stock sedan racers. Plus, a lot of people want safer packs. Encouraging the use of...

You do realize that LiPo's popularity now is in spite of the fact that it's at a significant voltage disadvantage to NiMH, right? Do you really think everybody will care about those few extra...

Barry Baker used to put the TC4 in the A racing against cars that were what, 4 generations ahead? That's just one example, but a wheel is a wheel. I also think people are overlooking the importance...

The Enerland cells Flightpower uses may have more voltage under load, but the cycle life graphs are pretty bad. It's not apparent how important that voltage under load is for 13.5 or 10.5 racing. ...

I suppose it's worth noting that you don't have to charge at multiples of C. If you can make it to the line with time to spare by charging at 1.5C, that will be easier on your packs than 2C. I'm...

I know MrBlack said it was "safe," and I agree. But I think you will find the cycle life graphs between 1C and 2C charging are NOT equal. 2C clearly has an affect on cycle life, though it's may not...

Charging at more than 1C will most certainly affect cycle life, even with Kokam cells. It may not blow the pack up, but it's not going to last as long overall before you start to lose capacity. ...

Also, the way LiPo batteries charge, the charge rate won't be at the full rate for long. LiPo charging drops the amperage as the battery nears its full charge. It will drop to well under an amp...

Knowing about something before you buy it is the third biggest inside joke in R/C.

I'd be good for $10, but PayPal hates me.
