which batteries
 

Hey guys just wondering what company batteries you go with? what site you purchase them from? background is for an emaxx brushless system. Not into the lipo system yet so just a high power 6-7 pack. I have a 9920 and 9L feigo. what you recommend. I just want fast and good batteries this time instead of wasting the money on cheap one. Mahalo

I use www.rc-monster.com for my batteries. ;)

i would go with the new ib 4200s. some have shorting issues but most sellers will take them back if there defective.

Theres a guy down at my lhs and got a set of ib4200 and GP4300; The voltage from the gp's he said were preety bad ,but the IB's were great.

Thought that might be useful to somebody.

I have to agree with this poster: I hear that www.rc-monster.com has great prices and incredible service, both before and after the sale!
So remember, whenever you're in the market for R/C vehicles and/or accessories and you demand a great value and support for your hard-earned dollar, consider spending that dollar at the store whose forums you've posted your question on. :)

yea, i get 12.5 volts from my 8 cell (9.6 volts) ib packs and thats packs that have never been run.

That's just the charge voltage. When the packs are newer, their resistance is higher. The higher the resistance, the higher the voltage will be off the charger. A crappy pack will have a VERY high voltage off the charger compared to a quality GP or IB pack (that has been broken in).

thanks for the posts and replies guys. I have baught a lot from Mike and he, as well as all you guys on the board, have helped me a lot. Thanks. Ill look into the batteries from Mike. By the way if Im running the 9920 and 9L would it better to run 14 or 12 cells?

it depends. i would try 14 though.

I have the same setup as you and I have run both 12 and 14 in mine. The power difference I think is pretty substancial. The specs on the motor say it can handle up to 16cells I believe, though some people say they don't recomend it.

yea, 16 is pushing the rpm limit of the motor and probably wouldnt last to long.

I looked at RC monster site but they are all loose batteries and have experience to assembling thses batteries. Is there a site you guys go that have them assembled and decently priced. I was looking at the GP 7 packs maybe between 3600 and 3800. THanks for the help guys. Makana

well i would certainly go with the ibs. also, mike might be able to assemble them for you.

assembled batt=no problem. Do it all the time. LMK what you need and I will make it happen.

MIKE ! if i had a nitro i would do them same!:005:
