Hey DC,

Thanks glad you like the site.

Those prices are SRP and yes I did find a few mistakes.. (thanks) I will review with danny if he wants to change the retail and post the new prices.

Actually it was the mistakes I was refering to, not the SRP. Now if I could just find these cells more easily things would be perfect.

DC, Well your world will be better very shortly We are very close to closing a deal that should put SMC in 90% of the large Canadian shops..

Hang in there..

Korgea,

The burp feature off for Nimh.
The burp feature on for Nicd.

Value allways at about 240.
for all cells.
I just can't seem to figure out a better point yet!?

Amps variable... depends on the class (stock or mod) as well as temperature etc...
Nicd between 6-8 amps.
Nimh between 4.5-6.5 amps!


In some cases I charge with the temp cutoff, because Ralf Helbing (GM-racing) told me that last year with the 3000's it seems to work to really make them hot.
Cutoff depending on temperature, 50Celcils. He also told me that some guys up to 60!!! pretty exreme is what I thought.
But it got the job done though..


Thanks.

hi danny

Just wondering if you used 3300's more then once a day in cleveland?...and if you did were they just as good the second time?how long should there be in between runs?

thanks

TRL: I gave one pack per class to our guys and they ran that pack once in practice and in all of their qualifiers and mains. Normally if they cool down for a few hours they are fine to run again.

Pizza Dude,

I checked with those racers in my club that still run a victor, It seems that they are using the same settings that you are, so im guessing that you are safe with them. They did mention that becuase Victor is not around anymore the charger is comfusing because their is no one around to answer the questions for them. for that reason they just use them as a back up charger.

Hope that helps.

Yes, the Sanyo 3000's like to be run hot. as soon as they peak you should run them don't let them cool.

Wondering what anybodys thoughts are on the boost feature used with the indi 16x5v6 ???

Is it any good for the GP 3300's

Snoopy,

What does the "boost" feature do?

From all of our testing, a straight linear charge works best.

PizzaDude

Thanks Korgea.

My personal opinion, is that the Victor is by far obsolete.
But indeed the support, or contact amongst it's user is not there.
Which makes it a bit harder to get max out of it.
Regards,
Pizza

KORGAE the boost feature on the 16x5v6 is just a integy torpedo charger built into the charger. its designed to lower the internal resistance. with the 3000hv's it makes them run like a scalded ape for about the first min and a half to two min. i havent tried it on the gp's cause i dont think there is a need for it. just my 2 cents

intresting, I don't know much about the "Torpedo" other then its designed to do the same as a "bump box" did in the early 90's.

I am not sure if I would recomend trying it, but if you do feel the need to experiment, let us know how it turns out.

I will also see if someone at my track has one where I could try it, if I find one I will post results here.

Korgae

Hi Eric,

Their is lots of info on the Sanyo cells.

What kind of info you looking for?

I will say this, are Team & many of our customers, have reported that they feel the GP cells are stronger on the track in all classes, this combined with a lower price to the consumer makes this the cell the choice when it comes to 3300 cells.
