Cool 9920/ Lipo? - 05.01.2006, 02:25 PM

I'm soon uping my cells in my emaxx. Probably 16 cells. I wanted to go twenty but think the weight will be more distructive....So my next option would be lipo i guess. I have no experience in these batts and I think it'll cost some bucks as i will need a charger for them too. Any ideas on good lipos to run with my 9920/10xl? Charger? What would run times be? Speeds?

Thanks guys!

How much cells are you using now? the difference between 14 and 16 is huge.

One step at a time.. :)

14 cells now. But i bought some more ib's and was going to make twenty packs. But know it's to heavy, so i thought going to 16, then maybe lipo cuz they are lighter.

Like i said, the step from 14 to 16 is quite something.

try it first on 16, and you can gently try it on 20, see if you like the power.

Thanks. I have a thread on battery building, but no response so far. Any ideas Serum on how to build a good 16 cell pack?

I have not ran the lipo on the 9920 yet.
I received them today. Hopefully I may start selling my nimhs.
As for building some 8 cell packs.
I will post in the other thread.

For lipo 6s 3800 mah should go a little longer than the 18 nimh 3800 for it has less weight to drag around. 6s is about same voltage is the 18 to. I heard power is more like 20 cells though. I look forward to this.


Peace!
