RX8 on fire

[scarletboa]

i've seen, used and even own turnigy nano-tech batteries and i can say that the batteries are not the problem. of all my batteries, including my expensive neu-energy batteries, my nano-techs have the least voltage drop and the most punch. also, even in my most demanding setup that has heated and puffed some of my 30c batteries, my nano-tech battery was only luke-warm and solid as a rock. by the way, mine are only 5000mah and they are more than sufficient.

the batteries are not the problem. it could be anything else though such as a loose solder post or maybe a faulty component. i've had a MMM fail in less than 5 minutes due to a faulty part and i have MMMs with over a year of heavy use and a couple hundred runs on each.

edit: also, you mention that you recommend SMC batteries. i have a pair of their 9000mah 28c+ packs and they are some of my weakest packs. my turnigy 30c 5200mah packs have more punch and run cooler. i was pretty skeptical of turnigy batteries at first, but after i tried 1, i had to have more. now, i have about 20 turnigies and 8 name brand packs.

my best batteries are the turnigy nano-techs and my worst are maxamps. my maxamps are strictly for 1/10 use lol.
