I killed it... MMMv3 bit the dust

I wouldn't gear a 1.5d over 22/58 for regular use.. maybe a bit more for speed runs and such but if you are doing some serious bashing or racing that is the MAX. Racing is best around 16-19t/58 depending on your track size/layout. Typically being geared right on or just under 40 will result in the best lap times. I'll agree those packs coulnd't handle the amps you were pulling, and it resulted in the failure. Gear that thing lower.. specially considering the packs you are running.

stum...do you run a new e-revo?????because i run a 1.5d(1515)on 6 cell in a new e-revo and im geared 14/68.....its really fast....(i guest).

Yes I have the e-revo

You are at about 45mph with that gearing on 6s, but your RPM's are at the max 60k line..

22/58 on a 4s setup in the erevo is about 54mph on the top end.. considering the 4s 8000mah is the longest running config of any (no matter the voltage) due to the battery tray limitations I always stuck w/ 4s in it. (though a 5k 6s (2x3s) setup is pretty close, just more $$'s)

16/58 is nice for racing ~40mph on 4s (rpms at about 40k)

ive try this set-up but my lipo come realy wwwwwottt(160f)and it was a pair of maxamps 7.4 8000mah,,,,lowest timing.....this is why i switch to 6 cell...geared 14/68,,,im borderline(rpm) but my lipo are cold(97f)motor 150f after 30 minutes and esc 112f

The 8k packs don't typically get super hot until the last 1000mAH, if you are geared hot, I mean over 18/58 I wouldn't take the lipos to the LVC. I know what you mean about the temps though, I had one of my MA 8k packs poof a touch when running it hard to LVC also, but I was geared at 22 at the time. One pack was fine 130ish, the other was 150, mA replaced for free (warranty). I will say expecially with the 1.5d you need to be geared conservative to keep the amp draw down.. but high voltage is another good way to keep the amp draw lower as well :)

anyway if my temps still great i can run without problems......but my motor bearing have to survivelike your said stum going close to the cut off voltage do not help to cool down a lipo but i never reach the cut-off...20 minutes of runtime max on each pack....i prefer to have more pack..instead drawing all the mah of the lipo....but more expensive

those packs are the best tho, enerland cells! if he had the r's which i think so. i run mine next to my polyquest, exact same

[johnrobholmes]

MA carrying enerland cells? Not likely.

ya I smell something...and its just not right

[johnrobholmes]

Zippy R may not be china made, but I can guarantee it isn't enerland.

Couldn't really find an appropriate thread to ask so I chose what looked like the most active. So how long has it taken CC to send replacement v3's? I sent mine just over a week and a half ago. Just wondering when I can expect confirmation from CC for when they ship back the replacement v3.

the 4800 25c's are damn close if not, they provide the same punch, same time and same temp as my polyquest and flightpower, not to metion the cells and tabs physically look identical, many belive this
