18c x what size battery are you talkin about??? must be small lol
Yes the battery I was referencing was a 3 cell Lithium Polymer 2000mAh battery pack. 18C continuous discharge rate of 36 amps with 50 amp bursts make this pack perfect for use in the Losi Mini-T or a mongoose system (smaller motor then 9000)

Like I said C= Charge or "Coulomb"... You are right 18c x capacity = max current in milliAmp. But that is not true in some cases. Its best to look at the spec sheet for that particular Battery. Common Sense RC does a great job at that.
