true rc 4s 8000mah lipo - 03.01.2009, 03:17 AM

i was looking at getting another lipo for my buggy. i currently have 2 lightmax 4s 5000mah 30c lipos that work great. but i was looking for something that gave me a little bit more run time but with out spending 300$ on a maxamps lipo.

i found the true rc 8000mah 4cell lipo. but it only puts out 80amps.

i was just wondering if this pack is any good and would it hurt the monster esc casue its so low in amps. the book on the monster said it needs over 100amps or something like that.

my packs currently make 150amps. and this one is only 80 amps


thanks.

They'll be fine. Keep in mind thats 80 amps continuous. You'll never pull that much continuous. I have 2 of the 3S ones and they're great batteries. Better than Max Amps for damn sure. Just cause MA cost more, doesn't mean its better. If your that worried about it, just get one of the 15C packs. 120 amps continuous...I don't see em on his website, but just e-mail Dan and he'll hook you up.

Im running the true rc 8k 10c in my e-revo with the castle monster combo and they run way better than all 6 of my enerland 6k 25c packs. They are more than enough and a good value.

Why don't you just run your flightmax batteries in a parralel? btw I'm getting one of the exact same lipos once they come back in stock...

it would not fit in the buggy and it would be way to heavy.

is any one running this battery in a buggy with a 2650kv or close to it motor. just wondering the run times

I've been running one of those in a hyper7 with a 1512 2d it never gets warm. I like my big purple bricks. Bash time is a good 25+ min.

You need one of my fp 4500 30c 4s packs... Not much more than the true rc 8000 you are looking at especially after shipping costs... Maybe 10-15 bucks...

It is lighter, has 30c discharge capabilites, and looks better (not that it matters)...

Check my sig and pm me...

im looking for something with more mah for more run time. 4500mah would be less then what i already have.

im switch to the tekno kit so it should be more ballanced cause the esc and motor and brake servo are on one side and on the other side would be the battery and the stearing servo. so should be pretty ballanced.
