SpeedyBL, You are right. Batteries do make a big difference. I had a setup on an 11.1V lipo and the wattmeter measured 10v dip on an 11.1v lipo. I tried a better battery and the wattmeter measured 10.5V dip. The total power difference ended up being 100watts. It was something like 550w vs 650w just from a different battery at the same voltage. I can only imagine if I had one of the neu packs, I could have picked up another 100w of power.

Jhautz, You should see the mtroniks truck esc. You have diodes and a cap all on top of the esc. Looks sort of like your creation. I like it though.

SpeedyBL, Thats a good point on the battery limitations. Even though the truerc packs are great cells, they are only rated for 75amps. Maybe as the pack drained a bit the cells had trouble keeping up wih the peaks and were no longer sufficient for this setup. I dont think truerc posts a peak for those cells either, but I think we can all agree that they would have exceeded what the pack could produce. Even their 10C 5000mah packs though outperform my 20 5000mah packs that I bought from another manufacture, but ya in this case it might have been asking a bit much.
