I'm looking for something that will give me 6-7 min of run time, but something that is close to but not over that edge for control ability.
What is the big difference between the 2 and 3 cell packs? Aside from the obvious 7.4v to 11.1v. What does that extra voltage actually translate to?
For that matter the (c) rating vs mAh.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (as long as those suggestion won't melt anything except maybe a few tires)
Thanks
As others have said 2S is more then adequate.
On my B4 w/ a 17.5T boosted setup I get around 45 minutes out of my 5000Mah packs if I run em down to cut off. But I normally stop at 20 minutes.
I run pretty much exclusively now GensAce packs. They are a tremendous value for the money and have yet to let me down. I run 5000mah 40 or 50C packs in the B4, and 5300 65C packs in my SC10.
Great, great batteries!
As far as C ratings go.. It's an amperate rating.. So 50C battery will deliver 250Amps of current.
Cracks me up to see guys running 90C 5000mah packs (450Amp) in 10th scale stock when most stock setups will only pull 100amp max at peak.
Anyhow,
