Turnigy Nano-Tech Packs

[rawfuls]

Has anyone tried these packs before?

I've been looking into grabbing a few to start off with for my.. well, better not say.

Anyways, how're they compared to normal packs?

There's about a dollar or two difference between nanotechs and the regular Zippy's

they are great, possible the best price\perfomance ratio on the marked.
the only neg with turn\zippy as opposite to like hyperion they dont havle alot of protection around the cells(thoug turningy have some)

Not sure if you have tried the Turnigy lipos yet but I ordered my first set and the only downside I have seen so far is that the 8 gauge wire is extreme overkill. If they used a better quality lighter gauge they could probably pass more power through it and it'd be more flexible and easier to solder

Was really pleased with my 3s turnigy nanotechs in FB2 while I had them, gobs of power for a good price.

I'll be buying nanotech's only from this point forward for my Flux and Slash 4x4

i have a 4s 5000mah 45c pack and so far and i am impressed to say the least. in my overgeared (50-55mph) truggy, my 30c packs can get quite toasty and the nano-tech pack only gets a little warm and has crazy punch. i killed a rear diff in my crt-x2 during my first run with the new pack without torque control. the punch difference is immediately noticeable.

the only problem i have seen with my nano-tech pack was during break-in. during the first few cycles, it was pretty out of balance. it was off as much as .2v the first cycle. each cycle has gotten less out of balance and now, it is only off .02-.03 at the most and it is still improving.

another thing i have noticed is all my other turnigy packs get a little spongy after use as soon as the 5th cycle and it slowly get worse each cycle until i would consider it puffed after use. the nano-tech pack has about 10 cycles and no signs of being spongy.

I had two 4S 4000mAh 45-90C packs in my E-revo which I gave to my dad now along with the batts. I ran them in parallel for 8000mAh and with 45C discharge ratting they really weren't being challenged in a mildly geared Revo. They ran fine and were always at ambient temperature even as they hit the LVC level. Just like someone else commented above the balance between the cells was a little off during first few cycles but it is spot on now according to dad. All in all I think they are pretty good cells.

My nanotechs also gave me a heart attack with off balanced cells outa the box, but after a run or two, they balanced out within .01v - .03v

when you guys meassure the balance thing, do you use the charger ore a seperate multimeter? some charger has not bin proberly adjusted and is not balancing prob.
I suggest to take an balance charge and when its finished meassure the pack with an multimeter, if its over 20mv unbalanced the charger need to be adjusted.

edit
and nether off mine turnigy pack have comed unbalanced "out off the box"

I'm looking forward to getting a set of the nano-techs to lighten up my hyper... just hoping they hit the USA warehouse soon, I find the shipping cost a turn off.

As for balance I do have two 4S 5000mah 40/50C packs and they both came with 2 cells that were a few mV lower than the others. The reason I think is because they have to be shipped state-side in packs no bigger than 3S (hear say) and assembled into the 4S packs I received. After a few runs they are extremely well balanced and my charge time (with balancing) has gone down significantly.

I have 2 3s 5000 45-90c packs on the way for my emaxx to feed my mmm 2200 with 6s I'll let you know how they hold up....my zippys got squishy so I stoped running them as I dont wish to see my maxx become a maltoff cocktail

if the battery is swollen i will recomend to stop using it, also as i sad previously there is alot and i mean alot of bad charger out there that isent calibrated. also always use lvc if not it will damage the lipo

My buddy has a few and they work real good in his sc trucks. Not a big differan e in performance but they do stay quite a bit cooler than his other packs. Where we really noticed a gain in performance was in his 1/8 scale buggy with a 2200 on 4s. Was night and day in that application. More punch, more power, and cooler temps. He's more patient than I am so I will be waiting for them to show up in the us warehouse as well.
