Measured with a Castle Creations ICE HV 160. I've got a 150A Eagletree somewhere lying around, I could measure the voltage drop with it.

The batteries are about 2 years old and I didn't use them much. This is the only reason I can think of that they perform poorly. But I ALWAYS stored them 70% (or was it 80%) charged and made a 5 time discharge <-> charge cycle about every half year. Cells are all good, double checked those.

Thank you ZPB! I was aiming for 7kW, so that comes pretty close.



Another question:
When using these LiPo's and applying full throttle as fast as I can, I feel the motor spinning up kind of slow. But then out of nothing I get some kind of turbo boost to full speed. Could this be the Low Voltage Cut-off of the ESC? (I set it to soft cut off) That when I give full throttle the voltage drops to 30V - LVC cuts in, power is low, voltage is increasing again - and then the "turbo" comes? (it's hard to explain with my limited english knowledge, sorry)
