TRUE RC lipo packs?
 

As i was scrolling though some old threads and i found the true rc website, first thig that i see is lipo packs, lots of different types and for a pritty cheap price, anyone know if these are as good as their price?


HERE

I havent heard anything bad about them, but than again, not many people have them!

I think a couple forum members have them, they should be able to help.

i herd squee has some but hasent tryed em yet,

I've got a 2s 6400mah 10C pack (3200mah cells). I got it for testing/reviewing purposes, but True RC hasn't requested any sort of a review. It's possible that they haven't done so since they haven't stocked the cells :(. However, the pack has run great in my Dark Impact and TC4, both using the Mamba Max 5700.

soo far it seems its good? ill wait for squee to test his, and get a final verdict.

Can't remember the thread but there was a guy that had some but they did not work like he wanted

that 1/6th buggy conversion ran great with them..

As long as they are used in 2P..

Ive been running 5s 8000mah packs from TrueRC for quite while now. I use them in my Maxx and my Revo. For the money they cant be beat IMO. I run some setups that pull well over 100amp peaks and even though they are only 10C(80amp) constant cells, I have never had any isse with them heating up or dropping voltage enough under load that they cause the LVC to be tripped. I recently got an eagle tree, but I havent gotten a chance to graph their performance yet so I cant tell you real world nuimbers. Just that my experience was good enough with them that I now have 3 sets of the 5s (3s pack + 2s pack wired in series) 8000mah packs.

I also have some 5s lipos built with the Enerland cells that are in the flightpower Evo20 packs and in reality there isnt enough of a performace difference for me to notice. Im sure if I graphed the performance of them (and I intend to once it stops being so cold out that I dont even stay out long enough to finish running a whole pack) in the same setup side by side the better cells would show, but in real world performace, I cant really tell.

The oldest pack I have has easily 100+ cycles on it and many of those cycles were pushing them very hard for their rateing. Still going strong. I think the last time I charged them they still took 7900+ mah charge. So they seem to be holding up well.
The only issue I ever had was actually when Mike put them in his emaxx. One of the packs just quit working. no smoke or puffing or anything.... Just quit working. I cut the shrink off of it that night and found that the littleboard that all of the tabs were soldered to cracked somehow. I had to sloder a small battery barr accross the cracked board to fix it and I re-taped and shrink wrapped it and have not had another issue with it since.

One more think: I dont have any data to back this, just observation. I feel like they tend to go slightly out of balance a little more easily than the higher end packs. I dont know if its cuz Im pushing them closer to their limits or what, but it not really a problem. I just balance them every 2 or three charges and Ive never had an isse.

Anyway: Thats my experience with the TruRC packs. Very good bang for the buck!

I am running the enerland 5000mah 5s1p cells. So far so good, 150a for 30 sec, and 300 amp burst.
