I don't discount your findings but my impressions and results have been quite different. Yesterday I ran 3 quals and main with a 3800 from Orion. At most with a couple warm up laps and 5 minute heats I was only draining 1500mah average. Of course I don't run a Mamba setup as they aren't ROAR approved. 4 back to back heats and I had as much punch as those running the SMC 4000 28C batteries through the entire heat.

If you noticed i wrote in a previous post that Orion is mislabeled or this mine pack is defective.Do you have another explanation?

I did see that. I also saw your post in the Orion thread. I'd call their customer support since I am just a racer and not affiliated with Orion at all. It's quite possible it's defective. not sure about mislabeled but anything is possible. The 3200 and 3600/3800 have different cases. Are you thinking you got a relabeled 3600? I've heard that they may have repackaged/labeled the 3600s to be 3800s as they were underrated but I have seen no proof to confirm this.

Im thinking i got a 3400 labeled as 3800.Anyway i cannot give another chance to this pack.I'll sell it ASAP.

So far Trinity has got 4150mA and the charging has not finished yet.

I think the 3400 is like the 3200 - there will be an impression on the top of the case where as the 3600 and 3800 are smooth on top where the label is.

Charging has finished.It took 4170mAh and 8.37v.Tomorrow i'll see how performs after this second charge.

Or better i'll recharge the Orion and tomorrow i'll do the test Orion VS Trinity.I'll run both packs to 6.4v on track with the same car and setup so tomorrow everything will be clear.

Anyone experience a 3600 Orion LiPo just failing? I was racing this past weekend, running the pack, removing it, placing it on the charger and the next day I go to charge the pack and nothing. I was alternating 2 packs all weekend all was good until Sunday. Now I get a charger error and no reading from the pack. Is it just dead? It is about 5 months old, I don't know what life expectancy there is on a lipo, but I hope this is not normal.

Oh and no I didn't store it pluged into the car or left it uncharged.

Does it have any voltage? Im not recommending this but batteries in which the voltage was too low I have seen charged in nimh mode for a few moment to get the voltage up enough for the lipo charger to work. If it has no voltage perhaps the fuse somehow shorted out.

If you are using Internet Explorer goes to Scripting section and enabled Allow Programmatic clipboard access.
It is an security warning, but RC market is one of my trusted site. So I have no worry

I think you are missing the point. Why would the site need to access my clipboard? Shady...

It's just another method of displaying pictures without "Hosting" them.. the window will copy the data from their server to your computer's clipboard through javascript, then "paste" it to the new window.

It allows full control of the picture (right-clicking on the pic does nothing, it's not even a JPG file to your computer, technically, just a pasted image..) and keeps others from linking the pic from other sites.

IE 7 is suspicious of anything accessing the clipboard, so it asks you now. IE 6 will do it without question.
It can be annoying at times, but often it's pretty harmless, especially when used in this context, but potentially a mischievious script could copy and see the contents of your clipboard, whatever it may be.

Today I did my test ORION vs TRINITY and i think i have to say bye-bye to this thread.
